Listen "Two Charlies"
Episode Synopsis
Every so often, history hands us a coincidence so odd, so strangely poetic, that it demands a second look. June 13 is one of those days. It’s not just your average square on the calendar. It also happens to be the birthday of not one, but two kings from the same royal bloodline. Both born on June 13, just sixteen years apart. Both named Charles. One called “the Bald” and the other “the Fat.” You couldn’t make this up if you tried. It sounds like a medieval comedy duo, but these were real men who sat on real thrones and wrestled with the real collapse of Charlemagne’s mighty empire.
