Podcasts about Anjou

Tournaments were more than an excuse for knights to whack each other with sticks, they were elaborate court events filled with splendor, ritual, and the careful exercise of violence. Perhaps nobody in Burgundy exemplified the Tournament as much as Jacques de Lalaing; through his skill in the lists, Jacques won fame on par with modern star athletes.Time Period Covered: 1430-1453Notable People: Jacques de Lalaing, Philip the Good, Rene of Anjou, Pierre de Bauffremont Count of Charny, Philippe de Ternant, Jean de Boniface, Juan de Merlo, Galeotto BalthazarNotable Events/Developments: Rise of Pas d'Armes, Pas of Charlemagne's Tree (1443), Tournament of Nancy (1444), Pas of the Fountain of Tears (1449-1450)

From mutilations to executions, Michael VIII violently imposed the Union of Lyons, while at the same time successive popes raised demands on the Orthodox, while Charles of Anjou waited in the background.

Royal favourites, we want your voice notes in our new miniseries on historical failures. Look out for Producer Al's callout post on patreon.com/thisishistory.  There you can also listen to this week's bonus episode, where we discuss the Duke of York's super-royal credentials, and why the Duke of Somerset fails upward.  Henry VI's royal court breathes a collective sigh of relief — Queen Margaret of Anjou is pregnant. It's a welcome addition to what remains of a vanishingly thin Plantagenet dynasty.  Aside from Henry, this is the first royal birth in 50 years.  The celebrations don't last long. As 1453 rolls on, two prominent nobles are fighting to rule on behalf of an impotent king. Edmund Beaufort, Duke of Somerset is the king's favourite… but he's also the man who lost Normandy. At his heels is Richard Plantagenet, Duke of York, a man feared by the nobility but loved by England's increasingly frustrated populace.  The realm will soon have to make a stark choice, because a catastrophic blow to English power is imminent.  – A Sony Music Entertainment production.  Find more great podcasts from Sony Music Entertainment at sonymusic.com/podcasts  To bring your brand to life in this podcast, email podcastadsales@sonymusic.com  Learn more about your ad choices.  Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices  – Written and presented by Dan Jones Producer - Alan Weedon Senior Producer - Dominic Tyerman Executive Producer - Simon Poole  Production Manager - Jen Mistri  Production coordinator - Eric Ryan  Mixing - Amber Devereux Head of content - Chris Skinner Learn more about your ad choices.

Evet “Cahille sohbete girdim”. Bunun tuzak bir başlık olduğunu düşündüyseniz darılırım. Şimdi anlatınca bana hak vereceksiniz."Cahiller: Karşılıklı Bir Aydınlanmanın Hikayesi", çizgi roman sanatçısı Étienne Davodeau'nun 2011 yılında yayınlanan 270 sayfalık otobiyografik bir eseri, bir çizgi roman. Hikaye, Davodeau'nun Anjou bölgesinde, evine yakın yerlerde yaşayan komşusu Richard Leroy ile başlattığı bir yıllık karşılıklı öğrenme macerasını anlatıyor.Size önce kitaptan bahsedeceğim ardından bu kitabın ilham olduğu oluşumu ve benim buradaki rolümü anlatacağım.Dediğim gibi bu bir otobiyografik eser. Etienne Davodeau, 2010 yılı başında arkadaşı şarap üreticisi Richard Leroy'a bir teklifte bulunuyor.Bir yıl boyunca arkadaşının bağında çalışma karşılığında onu çizgi roman dünyasıyla, hatta yazarlarla ve başka bağcılarla tanıştırmayı teklif ediyor. Bu karşılıklı öğrenme deneyimini de bir çizgi roman haline getirmeyi istiyor.İki adam, birbirlerinin "cahili" olarak, birbirlerinin dünyasına dalıyorlar. Şüphesiz kitabın önsözünü yazan Vedat Milor'un sözünü ettiği gibi onları bu özverili paylaşıma iten iki şey; mükemmelliyetçilik ve merak olsa gerek. Beni de bu kitapta yakalayan tam da bu oldu.Support the show

She is known, thanks to Shakespeare as the “She Wolf” of France, an evil queen who bullied the men around her, personally authorised the execution of the duke of York and laughed as a paper crown was nailed to his head. I am speaking of Margaret of Anjou, the wife and queen of King Henry VI. The question is, was Margaret in any way like the infamous caricature Shakespeare created? Well to help answer that question for me, I am pleased to welcome back onto the podcast the amazing Dr Elizabeth Norton, who will share her take on this fascinating woman who has for far too long been unfairly maligned.

Forget that boring Provence Rosé everyone else is grabbing for Valentine's Day. We are exposing a secret from the Loire Valley that offers amazing flavor and higher value for your money, and will impress your significant other. It might help you spice things up a bit, too! If you think all pink wine is created equal, think again... because not all Rosés are born the same. In this episode, we dive into Rosé d'Anjou, a "tender" style of wine that is perfect for those who want a hint of sweetness. You'll learn how the Grolleau Noir grape creates a unique experience that pairs perfectly with spicy Asian cuisine or even a Galentines cheese board. We also get into the "mad scientist" side of winemaking, discussing how some producers use reverse osmosis to concentrate their juice and to make a top quality wine. We put two affordable bottles to the test to see if this Loire Valley underdog is the ultimate QPR (Quality to Price Ratio) win for your next date night. Wines reviewed in this episode: 2024 LaCheteau Soupçon de Fruit Rosé d'Anjou and 2024 Famille Bougrier Rose d'Anjou.Send us a Text Message and we'll respond in our next episode!Contact The Wine Pair Podcast - we'd love to hear from you!Visit our website, leave a review, and reach out to us: https://thewinepairpodcast.com/Follow and DM us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewinepairpodcast/Send us an email: joe@thewinepairpodcast.com

Royal favourites, we want your voice notes in our new miniseries on historical failures. Look out for Producer Al's callout post on patreon.com/thisishistory   England's grip on France is collapsing. After more than a century of brutal conflict, English forces across the Channel are exhausted, bankrupt, and beaten down. In London, hopes rest on King Henry VI — now an adult and expected to rescue his father's dying empire. But Henry is no warrior king, and the French are dismantling England's hard‑won gains with shocking ease. Then, a new force enters the fray: Margaret of Anjou. Young, formidable, and newly crowned Queen of England, she becomes a lightning rod for ambition, fear, and bitter factional rivalries. Some believe she can save England's fortunes in France; others fear she is about to upend the entire balance of power at court. As defeat looms and alliances fracture, this episode traces how Margaret of Anjou steps into a failing war — and begins reshaping the fate of the Hundred Years' War, the English crown, and the violent political battles still to come. – And don't forget, you can now WATCH every This Is History episode on YouTube.

Distinguished actor and educator SHIRINE BABB joins host Nathan Winkelstein for a conversation about inhabiting the formidable Margaret of Anjou from Shakespeare's Henry VI and Richard III. Babb delivers the iconic “molehill” speech from Henry VI, Part III, Act I, Scene IV — “What, was it you that would be England's king?” — and unpacks her process: a rigorous cross-examination of Margaret's historical reality alongside Shakespeare's portrayal, tracing their points of alignment to arrive at a deeply rich and fully realized character.

Host Natalie Grueninger speaks with Dr Michelle Seah about the economic lives of medieval and late 15th-century English queens, focusing on Margaret of Anjou, Elizabeth Woodville, and Elizabeth of York. They explore how queens raised and managed income—through lands, cash allowances, port customs and the tradition of “queen's gold”—how their households were organised, and how financial resources shaped their public role, patronage and power.
