Listen "#25 'Here lieth the Toad' - Ep 2 Blowing up the Gunpowder Plot"

Episode Synopsis

We take a look at James I’s shadowy chief minister Robert Cecil who manages to implicate most of his Catholic enemies in the plot. Cecil was so desperate to improve King James’s dire view of him (his father had caused the execution James’ mother, Mary Queen of Scots) he would stoop to anything. (R) Hosted on Acast.
