Monarchs & Malarkey

King Henry was reported to have died from eating an excess of lamprey eels. We discuss what these parasites are and if they could have been responisble for the death of another monarch.

William II was beloved by all, a standard of rationality and kindness - wait, no. That is totally not right. He was a jerk and was despised by his brothers. Perhaps they even plotted to have him killed "by accident" in the woods...

Harold was not exactly a good king. He technically probably shouldn't have been a king at all! Join us as we look into one of the most obscure, and bizarre, famous deaths in British history, the death that would create a whole new dynasty and lead to England as it is today.

Come with us as we dive into what led to Edward the Confessor becoming a saint... What exactly happens to bodies in stone coffins? And what is a relic? 

Here is our first teaser for Monarchs and Malarkey. Our first episode is slated to go live on June 15th. Tune in to learn more about the strange health histories and peculiar deaths of leaders througout time.
