Naz Osmanoglu: Sultanate of Rum


Listen Later

We talk to comedian, TV personality and 15th in line to the Ottoman throne, Naz Osmanoglu about the prequel to the Ottoman Empire - AKA the Sultanate of Rum. Can Naz work out which crimes his royal ancestors committed in Who Do You Think You Aren't? Which monk hates the Sultanate most? Is it Roger the Monk or Peter the Monk? Find out! 

Ed admits to more historical errors in confessions of the Fifth Crusade. Phil takes on the role of Byzantine Emperor/ tabloid journalist and there's some confusion about whether Sultan Mehmet IV was a cabbage farmer or a wheelwright.
