So, Zumbi isn't ready for this week, but it will be for next week.
 
Oddly, it kinda seemed like this episode of Pete Chats Portugal on the Iberian Union was like required pre-reading for the saga on Zumbi. 

This one cover's Portugal's long nightmare under Hapsburg rule from 1580 to 1640.
It's a "Chats Episode," so it will be a little different than maybe you are used to hearing! 

This is just one piece of a multi-part saga on the Iberian Union over on Patreon Land, so head over there if you want to hear more and get access to soooooooo much more Great content : patreon.com/dgmhhistory

Key Topics:  Sugar Wars, Brazil, Dutch Empire, British Empire

Hello Great Minds! Family drama and scheduling issues... FML!

So, I couldn't get the crew together until next week, and family issues plagued any possible catch up time I had. 

Luckily, I recorded this episode for the History of England Podcast on one of History's most forgotten Stuarts!

Henry Frederick Stuart, the King that Might Have Been!  There's even a good bit of "What If" in this one, but now bad words...   

The team should be back together next week to wrap up the Cleopatra Saga, and then we will be back on track for the rest of the Season!  This one will be out for one week only!

Today, we are finally covering Cleopatra VII Philopator, Queen of Egypt, someone that I have been trying to cover for three seasons!
