  • The Peasants' War Part 1: Before the Bloodbath

    The Peasants' War Part 1: Before the Bloodbath
    Dec 26 2024

    This is the story of the biggest peasant uprising prior to the French Revolution. Inspired by the writing of Martin Luther and the Protestant Reformation, it was a shocking challenge to the social order. Serfs occupied castles, executed nobles, and plundered monasteries. Events that lasted less than a year would result in thousands of peasant deaths, and change the direction of the Reformation itself. This episode is the first in a two part series.

  • The Reformation Episode 5: Wars of Religion

    The Reformation Episode 5: Wars of Religion
    Aug 26 2024
    The Wars of Religion are the bloody outcome of the religious fracturing of Europe. They reshaped political identity and redefined the balance of power among countries. But what actually happened and why does it matter? This episode is a wild ride through three different countries, as scheming French cardinals send funds to Protestant rebels abroad, and the king of Spain institutes bloody punishments for religious deviance in the Netherlands. Cities under siege and a terrifying "red wedding" are part of the story. From Hugenots to Anabaptists, Calvinists, and Lutherans, this episode will answer questions you didn't know you had.

  • The Reformation: EP 4- England Kills a King

    The Reformation: EP 4- England Kills a King
    Jul 2 2024

    In this episode we watch England execute a king. This is the strange tale of how England became a Protestant country, and why the Church of England is the way it is. Along the way we watch militant Scottish Reformers challenge the power of the monarch, and uncover the roots of the Covenanters and Presbyterian churches. The episode culminates in the English Civil War, as competing versions of church and state vie for the future of the nation. Monarchy in Europe will never be the same again!
