Podcasts about Duchy

In the 18th century, modern Germany continued to be a patchwork of various duchies, which kept German nobles in the marriage rotation throughout Europe. So it was that two brothers - Ernst and Leopold - came into the world in the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld in 1784 and 1790. One would become the King of Belgium, and one would be the legal father of Prince Albert, later the husband of Queen Victoria. We say "legal father" because apparently it's not 100% clear that Ernst's estranged wife, the long suffering Princess Louise, wasn't comforting her brother-in-law after the death of his wife, England's Princess Charlotte, whose death in childbirth prompted the Hanoverian race to reproduce that gave the world Queen Victoria.  It is, as they say, complicated.

Duchy, demony czy byty nie z tego świata są powszechne. A z pewnością można je odnaleźć w niemal każdym systemie religijnym: od tych archaicznych, po największe religie świata. Czasem kontakt z tymi istotami ma bezpośredni charakter. Wtedy człowiek, jak wierzą wyznawcy, staje się miejscem, w którym duchy mogą się zagnieździć - dochodzi do opętania. Zjawisko to od lat badają antropologowie i etnolodzy. Nad problemem pochyla się też współczesna psychologia oraz neurologia. Jakie są wnioski płynące z tych badań? I jaki wpływ na zbiorową wyobraźnię ma “Egzorcysta”, horror Williama Friedkina z 1973 roku?(00:00:00) Powitanie(00:00:45) Rozmowa(00:47:08) Podziękowania✅ Wspieraj Brzmienie Świata na Patronite:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://patronite.pl/brzmienie-swiata⁠⁠⁠⁠FB:⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.facebook.com/brzmienieswiata⁠⁠⁠⁠IG:⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.instagram.com/brzmienieswiata⁠⁠⁠⁠

Hooked FM #522 - Blades of Fire, Anno 117, Deliver At All Costs, Drop Duchy & mehr!

After the death of Jane Seymour in 1537, Henry VIII was once again single and looking to mingle. But he was a man with a bit of reputation by then, and perhaps the daughters of England weren't in a hurry to roll those particular dice. Artist Hans Holbein was dispatched to Europe to paint the portraits of eligible royals and nobles for Henry's consideration. In the Duchy of Cleves (part of modern Germany), Henry found both his next bride and a Protestant ally against increasing pressure from a French-Spanish Catholic alliance. But it's Henry VIII, so you know the relationship didn't go as was expected. Though Anne of Cleves came to England and was wed to the king, she committed a faux pas in their first bizarre meeting, which hurt Henry's feelings. Henry never recovered, the marriage was annulled after six months, but for whatever reason, the famously vengeful king gave his would-be wife an extremely generous settlement. Anne of Cleves, notably among Henry's wives, was able to live her best single life well into the reign of Queen Mary I. Listen ad-free at patreon.com/trashyroyalspodcast.

Keir Starmer has said that “nothing less than the complete re-wiring of the British state” is needed for the public sector – and in particular the civil service – to deliver the government's agenda. So what should this transformation look like – and how can it be made to last?   As the government's former lead Non-Executive Director, Michael Jary CBE worked closely with the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, the Cabinet Secretary, the Civil Service Chief Operating Officer, as well as other senior civil servants across government, and has an unparalleled view on what works in Whitehall – and beyond – and what needs to change.

fWotD Episode 2917: Initial campaign of the Breton Civil War Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Wednesday, 30 April 2025, is Initial campaign of the Breton Civil War.The initial campaign of the Breton Civil War took place in 1341 when a French royal army intervened in a dynastic dispute between two claimants to the Duchy of Brittany. Brittany was a province of France, but although the dukes of Brittany were vassals of the French kings they governed the duchy as independent rulers. When Duke John III (r. 1312–1341) died on 30 April 1341, title to the duchy was claimed by both his niece, Joan of Penthièvre, and his younger half-brother, John of Montfort. Joan's claim was exercised through her husband, Charles of Blois, a nephew of the king of France, Philip VI (r. 1328–1350). A complicating factor was the ongoing Hundred Years' War between France and England that had broken out in 1337. A truce was in place which was due to expire in June 1341 but was extended to June 1342.It was generally assumed that Joan's claim would prevail and that Charles would become the new duke. But John acted quickly and installed friendly garrisons in most of the towns and castles of Brittany by August. He discussed the possibility of a military treaty with English emissaries but made no move towards effecting one. Rumours of these discussions reached Philip, causing him to turn against John and in September Charles was recognised as the new duke. John refused to give way and Philip sent an army to Brittany to impose Charles.Within a month John had been defeated and was a prisoner. His wife, Joanna of Flanders, sent the ducal treasury west to Brest, took command of her husband's field army, stormed the town of Redon and moved to the small but strongly walled town of Hennebont. She despatched a senior counsellor to encourage English military intervention, set up her two-year-old son, also named John, as the faction's figurehead and heir to his father's claim to the duchy, and waited on events. The war lasted 24 years, frequently as a part of the Hundred Years' War.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:48 UTC on Wednesday, 30 April 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Initial campaign of the Breton Civil War on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Gregory.

Born into a world of treachery, violence and death, William of Normandy defied all expectations, forging a legacy that lasts to this day. Born out of wedlock and dismissed as an upstart, he was originally known as William the Bastard. Inheriting the Duchy of Normandy at just eight years old, William was faced with betrayal, bloodshed, and anarchy. From the restless Normans, who expanded across Europe as mercenaries and horsemen, to the growing threat of Anjou, the early years of his reign were blighted by power struggles. Following the brutal murder of his guardians, and with Normandy on the brink of collapse, William was forced to survive in a world without loyalty, where ambition was the ultimate currency. Meanwhile, across the Channel, the English throne was in turmoil, as the sons of Æthelred the Unready fought for survival and power… Join Tom and Dominic as they trace William's rise from a vulnerable child to a formidable young duke, setting the stage for the ultimate confrontation: his claim to the English crown. _______ Twitter: @TheRestHistory @holland_tom @dcsandbrook Producer: Theo Young-Smith Assistant Producer: Tabby Syrett + Aaliyah Akude Executive Producers: Jack Davenport + Tony Pastor Learn more about your ad choices.

Following weeks of interviews and much speculation, Sir Chris Wormald has been confirmed as the new cabinet secretary. After a long civil service career, including stints as permanent secretary at the Department of Health and Social Care and the Department for Education and Skills, Wormald will succeed Simon Case and begin work as the country's most senior civil servant. Keir Starmer has said that it “will require nothing less than the complete rewiring of the British state to deliver bold and ambitious long-term reforms” – so how can Wormald meet that challenge? What is the best way for the new cabinet secretary to work with Keir Starmer and other senior ministers? How does a strong cabinet secretary add to the effectiveness of a government? How can Wormald change the way the civil service works so that it can best deliver the government's priorities? What steps can he take to restore civil service morale? And how might his experiences leading government departments help him approach the job of cabinet secretary? This special IfG webinar answered these questions – and yours – with a brilliant panel featuring: Dr Catherine Haddon, Programme Director at the Institute for Government Sir David Lidington, Cabinet Office minister and Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, 2018–19 Alex Thomas, Programme Director at the Institute for Government The event was chaired by Emma Norris, Deputy Director of the Institute for Government.

This is Talking Royals - our weekly podcast about the royal family - with presenter, Charlene White and ITV News' Royal Editor Chris Ship and Royal Producer Lizzie Robinson.This week, Chris and Lizzie are joined by Channel 4's Alistair Jackson to discuss Channel 4's Dispatches on The King, The Prince & Their Secret Millions...The Duchy of Lancaster comments: “Over 87% of all duchy-let properties are rated E or above. The remainder are either awaiting scheduled improvement works or are exempted under UK legislation." And that “His majesty the king voluntarily pays tax on all income received from the duchy.”

Charles and Prince William's estates are under scrutiny after a report revealed they're raking in millions from public services and charities through the Duchies of Lancaster and Cornwall. The estates are expected to earn millions from leasing land to UK public services and charities. Together, the estates control over 5,400 leases and, with exemptions from business taxes, are projected to bring in at least £50 million. This includes revenue from the NHS, schools, and the Ministry of Justice, such as an £11.4 million lease to the Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Trust and £37 million from Dartmoor Prison.Notably, some estate properties rented to charities, like Marie Curie and Macmillan, are now vacant due to rising costs. Despite a focus on environmental concerns, about 13-14% of residential properties under the duchies have low energy ratings, below the legal rental minimum of E. This has fueled calls for increased transparency and tax compliance, with critics urging that the estates pay corporation tax and operate similarly to the Crown Estate, which redirects its profits to the government.The investigation has cast a chilly spotlight on Prince William's inherited estate, revealing that dozens of his rental properties reportedly fail to meet minimum legal energy standards. The probe, conducted with Channel 4's Dispatches, found that 1 in 7 rentals in the Duchy of Cornwall estate are at the lowest Energy Performance Certificate ratings, F or G, which fall below legal requirements. Tenants in these properties reported struggling with mould, damp, and inefficient heating systems, pushing many into fuel poverty.One tenant shared that they can only afford to heat two rooms in their home with coal and wood, explaining, “It gets miserably cold, especially in the winter.” Another described drafts so severe that curtains move with the wind. Despite the Duchy's £91 million in recent profits, the report found that necessary upgrades like double glazing and insulation were largely neglected, with some tenants fearing eviction or steep rent hikes if they asked for improvements.Prince William, now the Duke of Cornwall, inherited management of the estate from his father, King Charles, a staunch environmental advocate, who oversaw it until 2022. In response, the Duchy asserts its commitment to improving properties and pursuing net-zero status by 2032. But critics argue this royal estate's policies on energy efficiency have left tenants in untenable conditions, exposing them to undue health risks and highlighting broader flaws in the UK rental system.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media!
