The BHP is a chronological retelling of the history of Britain with a particular focus upon the lives of the people. You won’t find a dry recounting of dates and battles here, but instead you’ll learn about who these people were and how their desires, fears, and flaws shaped the scope of this island at the edge of the world. And some of those desires are downright scandalous.

453 – Odo’s Rebellion: The Cold War

Primogeniture, the practice of handing all wealth and power from father to the eldest son, had done a lot to consolidate power along single family lines. But it created all manner of problems for …well, pretty much everyone else.

452 – Odo? Oh Yes.

Somewhere around the time  William the First was bursting out of his tomb like roasted chestnut and  William the Second was making it rain with his dead dad’s money….something was turning in western culture as a whole.

451 – The Lucky Few

You know, I almost titled the last episode  “The Gang Goes To A Funeral” but the trouble was that the gang /didn’t/ go to the funeral. All of them decided they had somewhere else to be.  The post [451 – The Lucky Few] (https://www.thebritishhistorypodcast.com/451-the-lucky-few/) first appeared on [The British History Podcast] (https://www.thebritishhistorypodcast.com) . ...

450 – Begin With A Bang

It was early September of 1087, and for weeks…nearly two months, in fact… people had been discussing William’s impending death, and worrying about what would happen next.  And for good reason. This family, which ruled over Normandy, had a history of infighting and civil wars, especially during times of succession.

448 – The Death of William the Conqueror

The story of William and the conquest has been a long road, and I’ve heard from some of you that this season has been challenging to listen to.   I get it.  No matter how awful William is he never seems to face any real consequences… The post [448 – The Death of William the Conqueror] (https://www.thebritishhistorypodcast.com/448-the-death-of-william-the-conqueror/) first appeared on [The British History Podcast] (https://www.thebritishhistorypodcast.com) . ...

447 – The End of the Conquest

If the last few episodes have seemed a little confusing, then you’re hearing them right. Europe at the end of the 11th century was a rapidly changing world and it is all going to have a profound impact on the history of Britain. I want you to really have a good understanding of what is […] The post [447 – The End of the Conquest] (https://www.thebritishhistorypodcast.com/447-the-end-of-the-conquest/) first appeared on [The British History Podcast] (https://www.thebritishhistorypodcast.com) . ...

446 – Death and Taxes

When we left off, things were looking pretty bad for William and William’s hope of a legacy. Maine was once again in rebellion against Normandy. But this time half of France seemed to be looking for an excuse to join them. Denmark was preparing an invasion of England … and even William’s brother-in-law, Count Robert […] The post [446 – Death and Taxes] (https://www.thebritishhistorypodcast.com/446-death-and-taxes/) first appeared on [The British History Podcast] (https://www.thebritishhistorypodcast.com) . ...

444 – Holy Beef

Based on the e-mails I have been getting, some of you are having a hard time understanding why on god’s green earth did Odo think he could just trot down to Rome and become the new Pope.  The truth is he was less crazy than we might think, and I’m going to take a moment […] The post [444 – Holy Beef] (https://www.thebritishhistorypodcast.com/444-holy-beef/) first appeared on [The British History Podcast] (https://www.thebritishhistorypodcast.com) . ...

443 – We’re Bigger Than Jesus

In this episode we delve into the tumultuous reign of King Gruffydd ap Cynan of Gwynedd and the political intricacies of William’s relationship with Matilda and his ambitious half-brother, Bishop Odo. It is an intricate web of power struggles, betrayals, and shifting dynamics between church and state that will only grow more complex and dangerous.

441 – God Bothering

Tensions rise as rebellion and violence sweep through Northumbria. As news of the uprising reaches the south, King William, though initially absent, takes action and sends his half-brother, Bishop Odo, to deal with it. Odo’s reputation for cruelty was well earned and the people of Durham suffer greatly at his hands.

King Malcolm and the Scots have been raiding the northern reaches of England, leaving the Northumbrians to deal with the aftermath. Meanwhile, William is not speaking to his son Robert and is spreading rumors about him to anyone who will listen. Robert’s enemies are enjoying the show, but not everyone is amused.

William, the Duke of Normandy and King of England, has been humiliated by his son Robert. Despite years of mocking and disrespect from William, Robert has defeated him in battle and spared his life. This has weakened William physically and reputationally. Meanwhile, Robert travels through Europe, attending tournaments and gaining support from powerful nobles who […] The post [439 – Juggling Responsibilities] (https://www.thebritishhistorypodcast.com/439-juggling-responsibilities/) first appeared on [The British History Podcast] (https://www.thebritishhistorypodcast.com) . ...
