Tales Beyond the Sunny Side - Episode 20: A Crown & A Cross


Listen Later

In this episode, I present my research on the story of Dom Manoel (Hasan IX) the king who  renounced Islam and converted to Christianity

Maldivian history has primarily been preserved through oral traditions, with limited written documentation available. As a result, some details presented in this episode may not be entirely precise. 

However, I have made every effort to compile and synthesize the information from the sources I was able to access.

Below is a list of references consulted in the research process:
