In April 1947, the United Nations Special Committee on Palestine was created to come up with a recommendation for the future of the region. This recommendation would then be voted on by the General Assembly before seeking endorsement by the Security Council. If such endorsement was granted, the Council would then have the power to impose its will, either through sanctions or direct force. That was the theory, anyway…   Notes Zionism: Real Enemy of the Jews: The False Messiah: 1, by Alan Hart: https://tinyurl.com/r4bxftu8 Against Our Better Judgment: The hidden history of how the U.S. was used to create Israel, by Alison Weir: https://tinyurl.com/3c7bb2aa The International Diplomacy of Israel's Founders, by John Quigley: https://api.pageplace.de/preview/DT0400.9781316540817_A26655069/preview-9781316540817_A26655069.pdf   Buy me a coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/dsconsciousness Become a subscriber: https://payhip.com/b/Sq0ZB   Rain and Tears by Neutrin05 / neutrin05 Creative Commons — Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported — CC BY-SA 3.0 Free Download / Stream: http://bit.ly/2PKvY28 Music promoted by Audio Library • Rain and Tears – Neutrin05 (No Copyright) matt2131@hotmail.com

This is a story of controversy; actually, more than one controversy. It's a story of medieval kings and queens, of revenge, and of a letter that challenges the circumstances historians thought they knew surrounding King Edward II's death – including possible blackmail. Or maybe not blackmail. Stick with us while we try to sort it out.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The mere sixty seven words of the Balfour Declaration set in action the chain of events that led to the creation of the State of Israel thirty years later, and ultimately to the violence we are seeing in Gaza today. The question is why. Why, in the midst of a war, would the British Government take the time to promise a fringe group within the Jewish community to support their aspirations for a ‘homeland' in Palestine?    Buy me a Coffee page: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/DSConsciousness   Christian Aid Gaza Appeal: https://www.christianaid.org.uk/appeals/emergencies/middle-east-crisis-appeal   To support the show and for access to the forum: https://payhip.com/b/Sq0ZB   Track: Walk it Off - Jae Ren Music provided by Verde Música Studio Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2l-97PH5R8   Notes The letter that led to the founding of Israel, documentary by Al Jazeera: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLIBZ1Fewco   WWI Through Arab Eyes, documentary by Al Jazeera: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuzhZkvbbHc   Zionism: Real Enemy of the Jews: The False Messiah: 1, by Alan Hart: https://tinyurl.com/r4bxftu8   Against Our Better Judgment: The hidden history of how the U.S. was used to create Israel, by Alison Weir: https://tinyurl.com/3c7bb2aa   Neither Pro Zionist nor Pro Arab but Pro Empire, a lecture by Professor Eugene Rogan to the Balfour Project: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQK9IpF7b90   The Balfour Declaration's Deep anti-Semitism and Racism - and Why It Still Matters, by Professor James Renton: https://tinyurl.com/3scpnawa   Great Britain, the Jews and Palestine (1936), by Samuel Landman: http://desip.igc.org/1939sLandman.htm   Making the World Safe for Democracy - The USA Enters WWI: https://tinyurl.com/m7sftr6u

Although this account of the life lead by Henry VIII was first published at the turn of the century it is still selling well. Alison Weir thinks the key to understanding the famous Tudor King is to realise that he was never alone. Even a conjugal visit to his wife or a trip to the loo were attended by courtiers. Popular accessible history at it's entertaining best.

Leonor de Aquitania es una de las figuras históricas más sugerentes de la edad media. Hija del duque de Aquitania, fue primero reina consorte de Francia durante quince años gracias a su matrimonio con Luis VII y, posteriormente, tras haber anulado el matrimonio con él, se casó con Enrique II Plantagenet convirtiéndose así en reina de Inglaterra durante más de tres décadas. Dio a luz un total de diez veces, la primera en 1145 cuando tenía 23 años y la última en 1166 cuando tenía 44. Su descendencia fue tan real como sus matrimonios. Fue la madre de dos reyes de Inglaterra -Ricardo Corazón de León y Juan Sin tierra- y de una reina de Castilla que llevaba su nombre y que se casó con Alfonso VIII de Castilla, el vencedor de las Navas de Tolosa. Leonor fue extraordinariamente longeva para su época. Según las fuentes vivió más de ochenta años en los que desplegó una gran actividad política y tuvo una influencia decisiva en el arte y la cultura de su época. No fue del todo casual. La Europa de mediado el siglo XII se encontraba en plena ebullición y Leonor participó gustosamente de las nuevas corrientes artísticas que estaban empezando florecer como, por ejemplo, la eclosión del gótico. Tuvo, además, la inmensa fortuna de poder viajar personalmente hasta oriente acompañando a su esposo, Luis VII de Francia, que en 1145 decidió ponerse al frente de la segunda cruzada. Eso le permitió conocer personalmente ciudades como Constantinopla, Antioquía y Jerusalén. Al regresar a Francia decidió separarse del rey, pero necesitaba una dispensa papal que Eugenio III se negó en principio a concederle, aunque luego transigió ya que la pareja no había dado ningún hijo varón. Se encontró así separada con más de treinta años sin más patrimonio que el ducado que había recibido en herencia de su padre. Cualquier otra mujer de su época se hubiese recluido en un convento, pero Leonor se volvió a casar, esta vez con Enrique Plantagenet, príncipe heredero de Inglaterra, tan sólo dos meses después de recibir la anulación de su anterior matrimonio. Dos años más tarde ambos fueron coronados. A Enrique le dio ocho vástagos, dos de los cuales llegarían a reinar, pero mucho antes de eso decidió separarse de nuevo marchándose a sus dominios en Francia. Su marido se revolvió contra ella y mandó que la encerrasen tras acusarla de intrigar contra él en compañía de su hijo Enrique. Tras la muerte prematura de su primogénito, Ricardo Corazón de León, su hijo favorito, pasó a ser heredero al trono de Inglaterra, cosa que conseguiría en 1189. Ricardo liberó a su madre y ésta se convirtió en su principal consejera y en la regente cuando el rey decidió partir de nuevo a Tierra Santa con motivo de la tercera cruzada. Su principal preocupación fue que Juan, su hijo menor, arrebatase la corona a su hermano. Ricardo regresó de las cruzadas, pero fue apresado por el duque de Austria que le acusaba de haber asesinado a su primo Conrado de Montferrato. Ahí pudo haberse quedado para siempre, pero Leonor movió cielo y tierra para liberar a su hijo, extremo que finalmente consiguió. Tras ello Leonor se retiró a la abadía de Fontevrault, en el valle del Loira, dentro ya de su propio ducado. Allí vio como su hijo Ricardo moría mientras guerreaba contra Felipe II de Francia. Era ya muy mayor, pero puso nuevamente sus habilidades diplomáticas a funcionar y logró que Juan Sin Tierra heredase la corona después, eso sí, de rendir homenaje al rey de Francia. Hecho eso volvió a Fontevrault y allí murió en 1204. Su tumba aún se conserva junto a la de su segundo marido, Enrique de Inglaterra, y su hijo Ricardo Corazón de león. Vivió mucho, muy intensamente y dejó un gran legado. Siglos más tarde novelistas y directores de cine se inspirarían en ella para sus obras. Pues bien, hoy en La ContraHistoria vamos a hablar junto a Alberto Garín de Leonor de Aquitania, un personaje que fascina a Alberto y del que tiene muchas cosas que contar.

Alison Weir – Henry VIII: The Heart and the Crown...with TRE's Giles Brown

Six wives. One King. You know their stories. Now it's time to hear his. The magnificent new Tudor novel from the author of the Sunday Times-bestselling Six Tudor Queens series. A second son, not born to rule, becomes a man, and a king... In grand royal palaces, Prince Harry grows up dreaming of knights and chivalry - and the golden age of kings that awaits his older brother. But Arthur's untimely death sees Harry crowned King Henry of England. As his power and influence extends, so commences a lifelong battle between head and heart, love and duty. Henry rules by divine right, yet his prayers for a son go unanswered. The great future of the Tudor dynasty depends on an heir. And the crown weighs heavy on a king with all but his one true desire. HENRY VIII. HIS STORY. Alison Weir's most ambitious Tudor novel yet reveals the captivating story of a man who was by turns brilliant, romantic, and ruthless: the king who changed England forever.

In Shakespeare's play, King John, Eleanor of Aquitaine is portrayed as "Queen Elinor," who is decrepit and old, but strong willed and highly intelligent. For many Shakespeareans, the real history of this extraordinary woman is confined to this portrayal in Shakespeare's works. Our guest this week, Alison Weir, joins the show to introduce us to the real history of Eleanor of Aquitaine not only as we remember her today, but to share with us what Shakespeare would have known about her, as well as what it is important to know about her real life when encountering Shakespeare's portrayal of her in his play.  Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Lady Jane Grey (1537-1554): We continue today with the poignant story of England's “Nine Day Queen,” Lady Jane Grey. Although used as a political pawn by unscrupulous members of the aristocracy (including her own parents!), Jane maintained her ardent, radiant faith in Christ to the very end of her life, serving as an inspiration to the Protestant cause in England. We close this episode with another story sent in by one of our listeners, the incredible testimony of missionary Phyllis Sortor. You won't want to miss it!

We know you will find this brave young girl as fascinating as we do! Five Women of the English Reformation by Paul F.M. Zahl The Children of Henry VIII by Alison Weir

Tracy talks about her book, Crown and Sceptre: A New History of the British Monarchy from William the Conqueror to Elizabeth II, which explores the institution as far back as 1066 and gives us her views on the future of the monarchy. Jane gives us the rundown on all the exciting events happening at the festival this year from The Duchess of Cornwall's Reading Room, where Philippa Gregory and Alison Weir are rediscovering women in history to Bill Browder on his book Freezing Order: A True Story of Russian Money-Laundering, State-Sponsored Murder and Surviving Vladimir Putin's Wrath.

As the nation celebrates the Queen's 70 year reign this jubilee weekend we ask what impact will the changes to primogeniture mean for future British monarchs? We hear from five historians, Alison Weir, Lady Antonia Fraser, Jung Chang, Tracey Borman and Kate Williams. Author Julie Myerson's new book is Nonfiction, a novel about a couple struggling with a daughter who is addicted to heroin. It's partly inspired by the experience of her own son's drug addiction. Julie joins Andrea Catherwood to talk about addiction, maternal love and the ethics of novel writing. Grease IS the word! We meet actors Olivia Moore and Jocasta Almgill, who are taking on the roles of Sandy and Rizzo in a new production of one of the best-loved musicals of all time. The Women's Prize for Fiction has launched a campaign to encourage more men to read novels by women. Research, conducted for Mary Ann Sieghart's The Authority Gap, found that of the top 10 bestselling female fiction authors, including Austen, Atwood and Agatha Christie, only 19% of their readers are men. We hear from Kate Mosse a best-selling novelist, playwright and founder director of the Women's Prize for Fiction. What's it like to be a female bouncer? With the industry saying staff shortages are impacting their ability to keep people safe, they are making plans to hire more women. Michael Kill is CEO of the Night Time Industries Association and Carla Leigh is a Door Supervisor and is setting up her own security business focusing on getting women in to the industry. Tahmima Anam is an anthropologist and a novelist. She's a big fan of silence and believes it can be harnessed to challenge sexism and expose bad behaviour.

And behind every queen, the whole court watches on.... Over the years of his reign, six different women took their place beside King Henry VIII of England as his wife and queen. But the real stories of the six Tudor queens belong to those who lived among them.

Andrew Marr discusses the writing of history with Peter Englund, Norman Davies Alison Weir and Boris Johnson. Norman Davies turns to the vanished kingdoms of Europe to explore an alternative history of the continent and to reclaim the stories of the vanquished. While the Swedish historian Peter Englund puts the lives of ordinary people throughout Europe at the heart of his re-telling of the First World War, the London mayor Boris Johnson celebrates the vitality of the capital through the lives of the great and good. Tudor specialist, Alison Weir who has published both academic history and historical fiction, argues against the blurring of these very distinct genres.Produced by Katy Hickman.
