Episode 162: Michael Bonner Returns: How Tyrants shape history in their image


Listen Later

In this episode we talk about how rulers and chronicles use history to justify their rights to rule. NOT everyone we speak about in this episode are tyrants, but those we talk about in this episode have all used history in one way or another to justify their claim to rule their kingdoms. We take a look at how history is used for propoganda purposes, and how it "justifies", tyrants claim to power.
