This week we are following the daughter of a Protestant Landowner in Western Ireland. Countess Constance Markievicz was born into the rarefied air of Victorian Nobility but had an innate sense of justice that could not be denied. Always ready to pick a side in the major issues of the day, once her mind was made up Constance was all in and would accept no compromises. Also she was pretty handy with a gun.... ....I am sure it will all be fine. Guest Host: Matt Hare<hr> Hosted on Acast.

Countess Constance Markievicz - Troubleshooting issues in Ireland

The British Isles have thousands of years of history, so it's weird that all most people were taught at school was World War Two, how many wives Henry VIII had and that the Battle of Hastings took place in 1066 (always worth a try if you are trying to guess someones pin number). If you've always wanted to learn about all the bits between these events, but only if it can be done in a random and eclectic manner why not try Consistently Eccentric History? A podcast where each week you can listen in while I tell one of my friends a story about a lesser known person or event in British history, the weirder and less believable the better. With an archive of over 150 episodes you will never again be short a weird historical fact when trying to impress others.<hr> Hosted on Acast.
