Consistently Eccentric History

Sir Julius Caesar - (or) what do you mean the king needs to stick to a budget?


Listen Later

We are back with another episode written and researched by the extremely knowledgeable Pamela Loetterle who wanted to shine a light on one of the forgotten nobles from the Elizabethan / Stuart era, Sir Julius Caesar.


The son of immigrants Julius was determined that he would become a man of power, wealth and influence within Court, setting his sights on the position of 'Master of the Rolls.' But as his family were new money rather than an established noble line, he would have to take a rather circuitous route in his rise to power and influence.


With potentially more historical name drops than any other episode in Consistently Eccentric History, join us as we make the case that Sir Julius Caesar should be just as well known as his famous namesake.
