Listen "Ian Mortimer - The Time Traveller's Guide to England"
Episode Synopsis
In his four Time Travellers Guides to England, historian Ian Mortimer has taken us from the Medieval period all the way to the Regency, revelling not in the business of courts and princes but the minutae of daily life for ordinary men and women. In this podcast, he shares his insights into how the English people have changed over time - and how they have stayed the same. Touching upon liberty and leadership, xenophobia and violence, this whistlestop tour of a thousand years of English life is an unmissable treat for history lovers of all stripes. Who was the worst monarch? Why should you preserve your urine? And do the French really deserve all the credit for inventing champagne? Discover the answers to all of these questions and many more with one of our most beloved national historians.
