The Louis XIII of Alexandre Dumas's "The Three Musketeers" is a comically naïve and easily manipulated do-nothing king, dominated by his scheming chief minister Cardinal Richelieu. But as we're about to learn, the history is a little more complicated when you consider that Louis did have military victories, he struggled against debilitating chronic illness, and France owes a lot more than expected to his partnership with the cardinal. But is this enough to spare Louis XIII from the guillotine? ⚜️ Visit our Wordpress for episode images, score summaries, contact details and more!

We talk about unpopular truths and I'm pretty sure I'm right (Hi, I [Nick] edited this one so it's me writing the description, how are you?) about which hand the Statue of Liberty is holding her torch in but while editing I had a crisis of confidence and have become very doubtful, but never looked up the answer.

And who escaped the guillotine?Spoilers incoming, obviously!Our outro music is Hildegard von Blingin's cover of "We Didn't Start the Fire" by Billy Joel.
