This weeks (lateish) episode is brought to you by deodorant, just use it, okay? Versailles was disgusting, so disgusting, Kurt goes back to only speaking in two word intervals. I joke, but not really. All the body fluids you can imagine! Artwork by Ash Valentine @tatts_n_ash Music Provided by FMA performed by Aitua
It's time to be our guest... AGAIN! This week Kurt says more than two words. We talk about Siam, Persia, and Issiny. In that order? Maybe. Versailles is so much more interesting with all this diplomats coming and going all the time. Artwork by Ash Valentine @tats_n_ash Music provided by FMA performed by Aitua
This week we talk about Louis XIV's friends coming over for a visit. Kurt offers advice for how to deal with France, and he also is baffled by windows. If that's not enough, how about The Hall of Mirrors, lions, bears, and not tigers though. Artwork by Ash Valentine Music provided by FMA
This episode we go off the rails a little bit as Chloey has a meltdown about rich people and Thomas Jefferson We also talk about Bastille Day (sorry, France) and it's effect on Versailles.

This Episode explores a political policy that no one could really make up their mind on. The Edict of Nantes; Henry IV and all his friends loved the idea, too bad Henry IV didn't have any friends.
