We are in the Stuart Era this week to look at a few generations of the Herbert family, holders of the title 'Earl of Pembroke'. Specifically the 4th Earl and his incredibly cosy relationship with James I and the 7th Earl who was once described as 'a homicidal maniac.' But don't worry, it is very unlikely that anyone in this story will face any consequences for their actions* Guest host: Ollie Green *Aside from Charles I, obviously.<hr> Hosted on Acast.

Two Philip Herberts - A multi-generational tale of violence and privilege

The British Isles have thousands of years of history, so it's weird that all most people were taught at school was World War Two, how many wives Henry VIII had and that the Battle of Hastings took place in 1066 (always worth a try if you are trying to guess someones pin number). If you've always wanted to learn about all the bits between these events, but only if it can be done in a random and eclectic manner why not try Consistently Eccentric History? A podcast where each week you can listen in while I tell one of my friends a story about a lesser known person or event in British history, the weirder and less believable the better. With an archive of over 150 episodes you will never again be short a weird historical fact when trying to impress others.<hr> Hosted on Acast.
