Podcast appearances and mentions of george iii

In the Declaration of Independence, signed on 4th July 1776, King George III is cast as a 'tyrant'. How fair is this representation?  In this episode, Kew Palace curator Polly Putnam is joined by Dr Rachel Herrmann, Senior Lecturer in Modern American History at Cardiff University, and Dr Robin Eagles, Editor at the History of Parliament Trust. Together, they explore George III's legacy in the United States of America, and whether this matches what we know about his reign. How much power did George have over the American colonies? Who is often left out of the story? And was he the 'tyrant' that he was made out to be?  Learn more about George III on our website.

Nous sommes le 4 juillet 1776, à Philadelphie. Ce jour-là est adoptée la Déclaration d'indépendance qui marque la naissance officielle des États-Unis d'Amérique. Cependant la rupture politique véritable a été votée, deux jours plus tôt, par le Congrès continental. Cette date du 2 juillet est considérée par John Adams, l'un des Pères fondateurs, premier vice-président, sous George Washington, puis deuxième président des Etats-Unis, comme le moment le plus mémorable de l'histoire de la nation. Nous sommes à l'aboutissement d'une crise de douze ans débutée en 1763, lorsque la Grande-Bretagne a tenté de reprendre en main ses colonies. Mais humiliations et lois répressives vont avoir pour effets de souder les colonies dans une solidarité inattendue. Un boycott économique est organisé en 1774. Le basculement vers le conflit armé se produit l'année suivante avec les batailles de Lexington et Concord, forçant le Congrès à organiser la défense des colonies. À l'automne, George III le roi d'Angleterre déclare officiellement les colonies en état de rébellion, rejetant toute perspective de réconciliation pacifique. Jusqu'à la proclamation du 4 juillet. L'année 1776 s'achève avec l'arrivée de Benjamin Franklin en France comme ambassadeur, scellant ainsi l'entrée irréversible des États-Unis sur la scène diplomatique internationale.

In this special on-location episode of the Anglotopia Podcast, recorded at the Chicago History Museum on the occasion of His Majesty the King's official birthday, Jonathan Thomas sits down with Richard Hyde — His Majesty's Consul General in Chicago and the senior British diplomatic representative across 14 states in the American Midwest. Speaking just before the British Consulate's King's Birthday Garden Party, Richard explains what a Consul General actually does, why Britain doesn't have a National Day, how he approaches representing modern Britain to the heartland of America, and what King Charles's address to a joint session of Congress meant for the Special Relationship. The conversation also uncovers a remarkable piece of Anglo-Chicago history: after the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, Queen Victoria and 8,000 British donors — including Disraeli, Tennyson, and John Stuart Mill — sent books to Chicago, directly founding the Chicago Public Library. Plus: the Beatles, Frank Lloyd Wright's Welsh roots, Abraham Lincoln's North Wales ancestry, and why Chicago is Richard's favorite city in the world. Note: We had originally planned to do a 100th Q&A for our 100th episode, but a much bigger opportunity arose last week, which we thought was more fitting. We'll do the Q&A soon! Links British Consulate General Chicago Website UK In Chicago on Instagram British Consulate General Chicago on X/Twitter British Embassy Washington DC UK Government in the USA Chicago History Museum Chicago Public Library Foundation Hawksmoor Chicago Celtic Crossings Chicago Chicago Shakespeare Theater America 250 Friends of Anglotopia Club Takeaways The United Kingdom is one of the only countries in the world without an official National Day — which is why British consulates abroad use the King's official birthday in June as their annual celebration, conveniently timed to coincide with Trooping the Colour. Richard Hyde covers 14 American states as Consul General — roughly 25% of the entire United States — including 105 members of the House of Representatives and 28 senators, making the Midwest a critical region for understanding where American politics is heading. After the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, Queen Victoria personally led a donation drive that saw 8,000 British donors — including Benjamin Disraeli, Alfred Lord Tennyson, and John Stuart Mill — send books to Chicago, directly founding the Chicago Public Library. Victoria's personally signed copy of a biography of Prince Albert is still in the library's special collection. King Charles's address to a joint session of Congress during his America 250 visit was, in Richard's assessment, a masterclass in diplomatic communication — speaking to shared values rather than political divisions and reminding both nations of the deep historical thread connecting Magna Carta to the US Constitution. Frank Lloyd Wright's family were Welsh; Abraham Lincoln's great-great-grandfather came from a small village in North Wales just 40 miles from Richard's hometown of Liverpool; and Anish Kapoor — who designed Chicago's Cloud Gate Bean — is British. Britain's cultural fingerprints are everywhere in Chicago. The British Consulate deliberately chose the Chicago History Museum and the Chicago Public Library Foundation as partners for this year's King's Birthday event to honor the Victorian book donation story — and encouraged guests to donate to the Foundation in the spirit of Queen Victoria's original gesture. Richard argues that British culture in America is simultaneously everywhere and invisible — so deeply embedded in American music, film, language, and history that most Americans don't register it as foreign. The Beatles are the perfect example: four working-class kids from Liverpool whose music plays in every country in the world, including a Chinese restaurant in Somalia in 1998. The Special Relationship, Richard says, is ultimately about 80% agreement — both countries share fundamental values on democracy, freedom, and human rights, and the disagreements, while loud, are at the margins. King Charles's Congress speech focused on that 80%. Richard's most unexpected discovery in Chicago: Midwesterners are the most authentically friendly people he's encountered in 10 overseas postings. They follow up. They text you. They actually become your friends — not just professional contacts. Richard's message to young Americans: spend time abroad. Not a two-week vacation, but a semester, a few months, living in someone else's culture. It will change how you see America — and make you appreciate it far more deeply. Soundbites "I like to joke that Chicago is one of America's two great cities with proper downtowns. Everywhere else is sprawl. But the difference is — in Chicago, the people are nice, the streets are clean, and the food's better." — Richard on why Chicago stands apart. "We're celebrating America 250. We're celebrating the fact that this is the greatest startup in history. We argued a little bit and there was some spilled tea — and despite all of that, 250 years on, no two countries do more together in the world." — Richard on Britain's approach to America 250. "Queen Victoria and 8,000 British donors sent books to Chicago after the Great Fire of 1871 — and that donation directly led to the founding of the Chicago Public Library. Victoria's signed copy is still there. It's a gesture from 1871 that still resonates now." — Richard on the Anglo-Chicago library story. "The King rises above the moment. He was able to come at a challenging time in our relationship and remind Americans — and remind Brits — that there are fundamentally more important things than the moment we're in. And that is our shared values." — Richard on King Charles's Congress speech. "I've been all around the world. I've never really been a great theater-goer. But Ed Hall at the Chicago Shakespeare Theatre has kind of infected me. I've become addicted to theater." — Richard on an unexpected Chicago conversion. "The flag in the United States is the symbol of their liberty. Our flag was created from existing countries we already had. So Scotland, England, Wales, Northern Ireland — the Union flag is basically a combination of four different crosses. We didn't have to fight for it." — Richard on why Brits and Americans relate to their flags so differently. "I've lived here almost two years. Of all the places I've lived, this is the easiest place in the world to actually build a network of friends. You can stand in a bar and someone starts talking to you about the Cubs and fundamentally how terrible everyone is at the moment — and they actually follow up." — Richard on Midwestern friendliness. "The longer I stay away and the more I've represented my country overseas, the prouder I am of that country. Warts and all. I'm proud of the history — even the complicated history. You have to understand it, not erase it." — Richard on representing Britain from a distance. "I have to say — I saw Hamilton recently and the best character in Hamilton is the King. Everyone agrees. He has the best songs." — Richard on George III stealing the show. "If you ever get a chance to travel — and I say this to a lot of young Americans — don't mean a two-week vacation. Go spend a semester abroad. Go spend a few months in somebody else's culture. And you'll understand A, that the country you love isn't perfect. But the longer you think about it, the more you'll appreciate what your country does." — Richard's message to young Americans.

In this week's episode I am speaking with Adam Crymble and Rachel Rich about a really exciting piece of research looking at the complexities of feeding the households of King George III and his eldest son George who was Prince Regent whilst George III suffered from his “madness”, and eventually succeeded him as George IV. The focus of the research is the ledgers that still exist, listing the ingredients ordered, foods that were prepared and the people who ate them. Over 40,000 dishes were counted.They have analysed the ledgers from two royal palaces – George III's Kew Palace and the Prince Regent's Carlton House – with two other food historians Sarah Fox and Lisa Smith, and assimilated them to produce a book called The King's Dinner: Family, nation, and identity on the British table, 1760-1820, which was published by UCL Press on 11 June 2026. The book is available from wherever you buy your books, but it is also available open access as a free PDF. So is the data they used in their analysis.We talk about the differing characters of the two Georges and how these were expressed in the foods they ate, Georgian food identity, the concept of oeconomy, the exotic food cultures NOT appearing on royal dinner tables, French cuisine and famous French chef Careme's tenure in the Prince Regent's kitchens, as well as their fruit and veg suppliers, one of whom was called Savage Bear, amongst many other thingsThose listening to the secret podcast get some bonus material where we discuss the upper servant's fancy foods, the huge amounts of meat consumed, and the politics of wine.The King's Dinner: Family, nation, and identity on the British table, 1760-1820(open access)3000 dishes on a Georgian tableAdam's bio on the UCL websiteFollow Adam on social media: @adamcrymble.bsky.social (Bluesky); @dradamcrymble (Insta)Rachel's bio on Leeds Beckett University websiteFollow Rachel Rich on social media: @drrachelrich (Insta)Season 10 of the podcast is sponsored by Netherton Foundry, makers of high-quality kitchen and outdoor cookware.

Guest host David Horton interviews President Thomas Jefferson about his strong anti-royalist principles. In the Declaration of Independence, Jefferson lambasted King George III for his crimes against the American colonists. Jefferson did not go quite as far as Thomas Paine, who called George III "the royal brute of England," but he wanted to eliminate all echoes of monarchism in American public life. Jefferson met George III once in 1786 and came away even more disillusioned than he had been previously with the ways of kings. In France, he met Louis XVI several times and generally liked him, but found him woefully out of touch with the suffering of the great mass of French people. David Horton wondered how Mr. Jefferson would react to the American fascination with British royalty in our time. This episode was recorded on April 28, 2026.  

Een Franse tiener stortte zich met heel zijn enthousiasme, idealisme en aristocratische ponteneur 250 jaar geleden in de onafhankelijkheidsstrijd in Amerika. Hij werd – al in die tijd - een soort popster en kreeg de bijnaam 'held van twee werelden'. Het was het ongebruikelijke begin van een ongekend avontuurlijk leven tijdens revolutie, omwenteling en strijd voor democratie en mensenrechten. Marie-Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de La Fayette - een onvervalst Hollywood-epos waardig. Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger vertellen het verhaal over de meest vereerde Europeaan in de rebelse dertien koloniën. *** Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken.

Een weeskind uit een adellijke, puissant rijke en krijgshaftige dynastie in Auvergne. Hij kende iedereen en speelde waar hij opdook een hoofdrol in meeslepende gebeurtenissen. Als politicus, generaal, diplomaat, filosoof en bemiddelaar. Hij was een tijdgenoot van al die fascinerende mensen van Verlichting, Romantiek en revolutiejaren. Napoleon, Goethe, Germaine de Staël, Beethoven, de Humboldts en natuurlijk de founding fathers van Amerika. Op13 juni 1777 kwam het door Lafayette zelf betaalde oorlogsschip Victoire aan bij de kust van South Carolina. Zijn wapens, het kruit en onmetelijke rijkdom waren welkome geschenken. Maar wat moesten de Amerikaanse opstandelingen met die jongen vol esprit, maar zonder kennis van de Engelse taal? In enkele maanden veroverde hij de harten van de Amerikanen, misschien wel juist omdat zo'n uiterst elitaire, aristocratische persoonlijkheid zo’n enorm contrast vormde met de dagelijkse besognes en contacten in Philadelphia. En hij maakte indruk doordat hij oprecht was. Hij maakte alle ontberingen aan het front en in de ijzige winter van Valley Forge mee als trouwe adjudant van George Washington. "Ik ben hier om te leren, niet om lesjes uit te delen," zei hij bescheiden. Washington stuurde de 20-jarige terug naar Parijs om als influencer ook Franse harten én beurzen te laten kloppen voor vrijheid en democratie. Ook daarin bleek hij een succès fou. Terug aan de zijde van zijn idool Washington commandeerde Lafayette de troepen en speelde een hoofdrol bij de definitieve overwinning op de Britten bij Yorktown in 1781. In Parijs werd hij bejubeld. Hij onderhandelde mee aan de vrede waarmee koning George III zijn Amerikaanse imperium moest vrijlaten. Terug in het vrije Amerika trok hij door alle nieuwe 13 staten, als een popster gefêteerd. Geen wonder dat hij terug in Frankrijk een leidende aanjager werd van een verlicht koninklijk bewind en meer burgerlijke vrijheden. De ochtend na de bestorming van de Bastille werd hij benoemd tot commandant van de Nationale Garde en moest rust en orde en een correct functioneerde overheid garanderen. Hij schreef wereldgeschiedenis. Uit zijn pen kwam de Déclaration des Droits de l'Homme et du Citoyen – de Verklaring van de rechten van de mens en de burger - het fundament voor de formulering van mensenrechten sindsdien. Zijn coauteur was vriend voor het leven Thomas Jefferson. De radicalisering en uiteindelijk 'la Terreur' van de Revolutie hadden voor Lafayette's familie vreselijke gevolgen. Hij poogde te vluchten naar Amerika, maar werd opgepakt en zat jaren vast als gijzelaar in een Habsburgs kasteel in Slowakije. Napoleon kocht hem vrij, maar dat betekende allerminst dat hij voor zijn steeds dictatorialer wordende bewind. Lafayettte was de rest van zijn leven een principieel, vurig tegenstander van autoritair bewind, ook van de niet al te democratische koningen na l'Empereur. Het scheelde overigens maar weinig of hij was in 1830 zelf staatshoofd geworden. Amerika was hem nimmer vergeten. Ter viering van 50 jaar onafhankelijkheid, nu 200 jaar geleden, maakte hij een tournee langs alle 24 staten van toen. Het werd een triomf, met zijn verjaardagsfeest op het Witte Huis. Hij sprak als icoon van de vrijheid het Congres toe. En hij bezocht nog weer eens zijn vriend Jefferson, toen 81 jaar oud. Bij zijn dood in 1834 werd nationale rouw afgekondigd in heel de Verenigde Staten. President John Quincy Adams zei in zijn grafrede: “Lafayette staat hoog op de lijst van de pure en onzelfzuchtige weldoeners van de mensheid.” *** Verder kijken Filmtrailer Lafayette (1961) Tekenfilm: Lafayette, de Franse tiener die Amerika maakte Deel 1 Deel 2 Guns and Ships - Hamilton (Original Cast 2016 - Live) *** Verder luisteren 281 - Fourth of July: Amerika reisgids voor politieke junkies 382 - 250 jaar Verenigde Staten: de Boston Tea Party 519 - Thomas Jefferson, de revolutionaire schrijver van de Onafhankelijkheidsverklaring 459 – Rolmodel George Washington 397 - Benjamin Franklin, zijner majesteits meest loyale rebel 190 - Napoleon, 200 jaar na zijn dood: zijn betekenis voor Nederland en Europa 580 - Lenteboekenspecial met Germaine de Staël 57 - PG Kroeger over Alexis de Tocqueville 513 – Tanks rollen door Washington DC, 250 jaar US Army 570 - 250 jaar VS: leiderschap in het Amerikaanse Huis van Afgevaardigden 494 - Trumps aanval op de geschiedenis en de geest van Amerika 473 - 2025. 200 jaar John Quincy Adams president 475 – Trumps rolmodel Andrew Jackson 520 - De radicaaldemocratische erfenis van Pieter Vreede *** Tijdlijn 00:00:00 – Deel 1 00:26:28 – Deel 2 00:53:30 – Jean-Marc van Tol + Deel 3 01:13:35 – EindeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For centuries, Britain watched its king slowly unravel. George III, once seen as a dutiful, steady ruler, began to speak in torrents, pace through the night, and drift in and out of terrifying, incoherent episodes that baffled his doctors and horrified his court. Whispers of “madness” crept through the palaces and into Parliament, as ministers juggled a crumbling royal mind with the need to keep an empire running. Behind the polite portraits and powdered wigs lies a far darker story: a monarch trapped inside his own head, a family torn between love and power, and a kingdom forced to ask what happens when the person wearing the crown is no longer truly in control.

In this NBN episode, host Hollay Ghadery speaks with Janice Hadlow about her fascinating novel, Rules of the Heart (Henry Holt & Company, 2026). A beautifully evocative historical novel about the perils of all-consuming love, inspired by a real-life eighteenth-century love affair, from the bestselling author of The Other Bennet Sister“When I love at all, it is with my whole soul—my heart must be torn to pieces before it can forget or resign the objects of its affections.”England, 1794. Now in her thirties, Lady Harriet Bessborough, already the veteran of several liaisons, finds herself pursued by a much younger man. This isn't unusual in her circle, where married women often take younger lovers. No one minds much, provided they follow the rules of the game: Don't embarrass your husband, maintain complete discretion at all times, and never ever make the mistake of falling in love.So when Harriet meets Lord Granville—brilliantly handsome, insistently ardent, and twelve years younger than her—she's confident she can manage their affair. Until she finds herself falling uncontrollably under his spell.As she's plunged into an all-consuming passion, Harriet's worldliness and sophistication desert her. With each besotted step, she finds herself edging ever closer to exposure and ruin. She knows she should leave Granville but can't bring herself to do it—she loves him far too deeply now to escape the scandal that threatens to engulf her. Janice Hadlow worked as a television producer and commissioner for most of her career. She graduated with a first-class degree in history from King's College London and has always been fascinated by the eighteenth century.

In this NBN episode, host Hollay Ghadery speaks with Janice Hadlow about her fascinating novel, Rules of the Heart (Henry Holt & Company, 2026). A beautifully evocative historical novel about the perils of all-consuming love, inspired by a real-life eighteenth-century love affair, from the bestselling author of The Other Bennet Sister“When I love at all, it is with my whole soul—my heart must be torn to pieces before it can forget or resign the objects of its affections.”England, 1794. Now in her thirties, Lady Harriet Bessborough, already the veteran of several liaisons, finds herself pursued by a much younger man. This isn't unusual in her circle, where married women often take younger lovers. No one minds much, provided they follow the rules of the game: Don't embarrass your husband, maintain complete discretion at all times, and never ever make the mistake of falling in love.So when Harriet meets Lord Granville—brilliantly handsome, insistently ardent, and twelve years younger than her—she's confident she can manage their affair. Until she finds herself falling uncontrollably under his spell.As she's plunged into an all-consuming passion, Harriet's worldliness and sophistication desert her. With each besotted step, she finds herself edging ever closer to exposure and ruin. She knows she should leave Granville but can't bring herself to do it—she loves him far too deeply now to escape the scandal that threatens to engulf her. Janice Hadlow worked as a television producer and commissioner for most of her career. She graduated with a first-class degree in history from King's College London and has always been fascinated by the eighteenth century. She is the author of A Royal Experiment, a family biography of George III, Queen Charlotte, and their children.

3. Joseph Ellis, *The Cause: The American Revolution and Its Discontents, 1773 to 1783*. This narrative explores the tension between conservative and radical leadership, featuring John Dickinson, whose "Letters from a Farmer" framed the colonial constitutional position even as he hesitated to cross the "abyss" into war. Conversely, John Adams viewed continued trust in George III as "delusional" and advocated for an immediate end to the British connection. The text also critiques the "myth of the militia," noting that while amateurs were formidable behind defenses at Bunker Hill, their costly "victory" misled many into believing virtuous amateurs could easily defeat professional soldiers, a delusion that persisted for years. (3)1820 JEFFERSON FRANKLIN 

7. Joseph Ellis, *The Cause: The American Revolution and Its Discontents, 1773 to 1783*. The entry of France and Spain transformed the rebellion into a global war, forcing Britain to prioritize its Caribbean sugar islands. Despite political pressure, George III and George Germaineremained stubbornly committed to the war. Washington simultaneously faced internal threats, including the betrayal of Charles Lee, who shared secrets with the British while in captivity. On the frontier, Washington authorized a "dirty war" led by John Sullivan, which destroyed the Iroquois Confederation after they aligned with the British, who had incentivized them with "scalping knives" and payments for American scalps. (7)1780

DEFINING THE CAUSE AND THE MONARCH'S POWER Colleague Joseph Ellis. Ellis explains that colonists adopted the term "the cause" to describe their diverse opposition to British policy and eventual desire for independence, covering various interest groups under one verbal canopy. He describes George III as a powerful monarch who controlled Parliament through treasury funds, viewing American independence as a domino theory threat to the British Empire. Ellis also notes Benjamin Franklin's failed attempts to preserve a commonwealth relationship before British humiliation pushed him toward independence. NUMBER 11761

The Bible doesn't call them kings, nor that there were three of them. But tradition has come to call them kings, with their famous three gifts - gold for wealth, frankincense for divinity, myrrh for death. And there are other kings in the story. Herod is the tyrant king, the might is right king, the king who will do anything to retain power. And Bethlehem, where all the action takes place, is the City of King David, the harking back to the glory days king. And then there is the child in a stable king, the one who will be crowned with thorns, the one to whom the so-called three kings bow down. Epiphany is a reflection on what makes for a good king. It's an interesting coincidence that the feast of the Epiphany, on the 6th January, is also the date of that attempted insurrection in Washington DC, where thousands stormed the Capital building to try and overturn the results of the 2020 election. And last year the No Kings demonstrations brought millions of people out onto the streets in protest. American independence was gained by throwing off the authority of George III, which is why someone behaving like a king can feel like a threat to American identity. Back in Bethlehem two thousand years ago, a weak and pathetic baby gurgles in an out-house, surrounded by cattle. For Christians, this child is the presence of God Almighty, the king of kings. But he doesn't look like a king. “Mild he lays his glory by” we sing. Power and wealth, typically defining qualities of kingly rule, seem to have been set aside by this strange monarch. In adult life he will come to speak about a kingdom, but one quite unlike the kingdoms of the earth. Here the first shall be last, the poor will be robed in ermine, here peace will have more effect than violence, where human love is the battle cry and strength is made perfect in weakness. It is a curious programme of political action – except that over the centuries billions have pledged their allegiance to it. And whilst some have argued that kings have some God given right to rule, others have referenced the kingdom Jesus spoke about as one to whom all, even monarchs, should pay homage. “No King but Jesus” was the revolutionary cry of the Parliamentarians as they sought to bring down the regime of Charles 1st. In that stable in Bethlehem, those three kings cast their crowns before the Christ child. This is the template for genuine Christian rule, an acknowledgement that all are subject to that other kingdom, however glamourous and mighty they might think of themselves. And as for that last gift of myrrh for death, it is a reminder that no kingly rule can last forever. In the end, Christians believe that we will all have to give an account of ourselves. And the mighty of this world will be judged accordingly.

Het jaar eindigt, de winterkou slaat toe. Alle reden voor de jaarlijkse Winterboekenspecial! Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger nemen je mee naar het jaar 750 in Aken en Bagdad, naar Londen in 1940, het jacht van Onassis in 1958, het Wenen van 1740, Nederland in het Europa van 1920, Oberstdorf in Beieren in 1933 en decennia van dissonanten in het Concertgebouw in Amsterdam. *** Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken. Word ook vriend van de show! Heb je belangstelling om in onze podcast te adverteren of ons te sponsoren? Zend ons een mailtje en wij zoeken contact. *** Eerste boek: 'Hoe de wereld veranderde rond het jaar 750' van Herman Kaptein (Walburg Pers, 293 p.) Een fascinerende vergelijkende historie van mondiale veranderingen in economie, cultuur, governance en technologie in de periode die wij in Europa 'de Karolingische renaissance' noemen. Maar de schrijver ziet analoge ontwikkelingen elders in de wereld, van het Midden-Oosten tot India, de Zijderoute en China. Cruciaal was het opbloeien van een schriftcultuur die grote invloed uitoefende op de wijze waarop de heersers van de toen opkomende imperia konden regeren. Wetgeving, documentatie van besluiten en regels, communicatie, rechtspraak en sociale en religieuze ordening werden rationele gemaakt door deze vast te leggen in formele geschriften. Het feit dat met de katholieke kerk en de Islam grote, gemeenschappelijke normenstelsels over de nieuwe imperia werden gespreid versterkte deze ontwikkeling nadrukkelijk. Karel de Grote beschikte door zijn steun aan de kloosterordes over een grote groep geletterde, multinationale adviseurs en bewindslieden die bovendien in heel zijn rijk in dezelfde taal met elkaar konden communiceren en discussiëren: het Latijn. In Bagdad gebeurde hetzelfde, maar vanuit de gemeenschappelijkheid van de Islam en de rol van de wetenschappers die daar bijeen kwamen uit heel de Levant, maar in het bijzonder ook vanuit Perzïë en India. Door hen werden wiskunde en astronomie op het hoogste niveau beoefend. Onze 'Arabische getallen' hebben via Bagdad hun oorsprong in het India van die jaren. Tweede boek: 'When Lions Roar' van Thomas Maier (Crown, 784 p.) Ook dit boek gaat over dynastieën op meerdere continenten. De families Churchill en Kennedy konden nauwelijks meer van elkaar verschillen in achtergrond, politieke opvattingen en familiegeschiedenis, maar werden als magneten tot elkaar aangetrokken. Conflicten, politieke heibel, spionage, zakelijke deals, vriendschappen en liefdesaffaires vullen dit boek over die 'brullende leeuwen'. En als derde hoofdpersoon op de achtergrond speelt president Franklin D. Roosevelt een cruciale rol. Verrassende figuren komen in het boek naar voren, zoals Pamela Digby die van geliefde schoondochter van Churchill uiteindelijk via allerlei affaires en huwelijken een van de invloedrijkste politieke fundraisers werd voor de Democraten in Amerika. Haar 'ontdekking' was Bill Clinton. En de Griekse reder Aristoteles Onassis was een vriend en reisgenoot van de oude Winston Churchill en op zijn jacht reisde niet alleen Maria Callas mee, maar ook het jonge echtpaar JFK en Jackie. Later zou zij hem trouwen. Derde boek: 'Maria Theresa - Empress' van Richard Bassett (Yale University Press, 520 p.) Nog een dynastie en persoonlijkheid van de buitencategorie. De Habsburgse keizerin Maria Theresa - zij regeerde van 1740 tot 1780 - was een van de machtigste en boeiendste vrouwen van haar tijd. Zij moest als 23-jarige letterlijk vechten om haar vader te kunnen opvolgen en zijn erflanden te regeren. Daartoe behoorden Oostenrijk, Hongarije, grote delen van de Balkan, Bohemen, Moravië en Silezië, grote delen van Noord-Italië en het huidige België. Maria Theresa overleefde die strijd met panache en werd een belangrijk hervormer van het bestuur, de wetgeving, economie en financiën en zeer in het bijzonder het onderwijs aan haar onderdanen. Een van haar opvallendste eigenschappen was haar bijna onfeilbaar oog voor talent. En daarbij was zij allesbehalve eenkennig. Zelfs een Hongaarse wees die haar als roeier opviel, protegeerde zij en liet hem zijn talenten ontdekken, waardoor hij een van haar belangrijkste raadsheren werd. Haar politieke gevoel deed haar aan het eind van haar leven grote zorgen hebben over de Amerikaanse revolutie tegen koning George III. Indringend waarschuwde zij haar dochter Marie Antoinette voor wat zij in Frankrijk zag opdoemen. Had zij maar beter naar haar moeder geluisterd. Vierde boek: 'De Groote Vrede' van Wim de Wagt (Boom, 446 p.) Na de val van dynastieën als de Habsburgers en Romanovs werd Europa in Versailles geheel heringedeeld. Dit leidde tot grote onrust over de toekomst van die nieuwe staten en hun oudere buren. Dat werd de bron van een golf van idealisme om in die toekomst een verenigd Europa te laten ontstaan. Juist vanuit het neutrale Nederland werden vele impulsen daaraan gegeven. Opmerkelijk was de rol van captains of industry die zo'n eenwording als de oplossing zagen voor de economische ravage die Versailles had veroorzaakt. Hendrik Colijn was de meest gezaghebbende vanuit die kringen en werd nimmer moe wereldwijd te pleiten voor een douane-unie, afschaffing van handelstarieven en de belemmeringen van de nieuwe grenzen op het Europese continent. Een hoofdpersoon in dit boek is de Franse staatsman Aristide Briand, die vurig werkte aan verzoening met de Duitsers en een soort Interne Markt probeerde te vormen als een Jacques Delors avant la lettre. Het idealisme en de inzet werden niet beloond. Autoritaire heersers en wraakgevoelens zouden Europa nog een tweede keer verwoesten, maar na 1945 werden de lessen uit dat eerdere ideaal concreet gemaakt. Vijfde boek: 'A Village in the Third Reich' van Julia Boyd (Pegasus, 412 p.) Dat stadje is Oberstdorf in het zuiden van Beieren. Klassiek Alpendorp van boeren en burgers, behoudend, rooms en gehecht aan tradities. Maar dankzij de wintersport ook economisch, cultureel en menselijk verbonden met heel Europa, vooral de rijke toeristen. Hoe het nationaalsocialisme in die gemeenschap doordrong, de dictatuur ging overheersen en angst en wegkijken domineerden wordt in menselijke lotgevallen zichtbaar. De mensen leerden bidden "Lieber Gott, mach mich stumm, daß ich nicht in Dachau kumm.' Het stadje was niettemin ook trots op de overwinningen van zijn bergjagers in de Wehrmacht, al kostte hun alpinistische stunt in de Kaukasus hen bijna het leven, omdat Hitler woedend was. In Oberstdorf poogde men de dictatuur te overleven door elkaar waar mogelijk te beschermen, ook de joodse dorpsgenoten. Een unieke rol speelde daarbij een Nederlandse gravin, die verbonden was aan Koningin Wilhelmina. Haar kindersanatorium werd een schuilplaats voor vervolgden. Zesde boek: 'Dissonanten in het Concertgebouw' van Albert van der Schoot (Noordboek, 560 p.) Politiek en Klassieke Muziek, de luisteraars van Betrouwbare Bronnen zijn wel vertrouwd geraakt aan de innige relaties tussen die twee. Dit boek zit vol fascinerend verhalen, momenten, figuren en incidenten in die kunsttempel van onze hoofdstad. Want het gebouw wordt vaak benut voor alle mogelijke manifestaties, die ook recent nog tot heftig gedoe aanleiding gaven. Een paar voorbeelden slechts: de communistische herdenking in 1924 van Lenin bij zijn dood of het 25-jarig jubileumfeest om paus Leo XIII, de man van Rerum Novarum, in 1903 te vieren. De manifestatie voor de 70e verjaardag van Domela Nieuwenhuis in 1916 en die van de NSB in zomer 1944 om ‘trouwbetuiging aan den Führer’ te tonen na de bomaanslag op zijn leven. Ook de muziek zelf kon politieke heftige controverses opleveren. Zo weigerde het rode koor Stem des Volks in 1934 het Wilhelmus te zingen en was er een epische ruzie met Cosima Wagner die de opera 'Parsifal' van haar echtgenoot weigerde te laten uitvoeren in Amsterdam. Stalin had het niet van een vreemde toen Dmitri Sjostakovitsj' opera hem in 1936 niet beviel! *** Verder luisteren Bij boek 1 203 - Karel de Grote. https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/1f66b01c-d62a-44f3-98ba-5ef8684a81da 363 - Zomerboeken met Dan Jones over de globalisering in de Middeleeuwen https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/d834c464-00ed-45f6-9018-6ab7f8536e29 262 - India in de geschiedenis https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/8e738070-a079-4411-ab30-8546d29083fc 311 - De wereld volgens Simon Sebag Montefiore https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/caaa9aac-ea36-4633-9460-74da8adf4c2f Bij boek 2 479 - Winston Churchill.

Leitura Bíblica Do Dia: 2 CRÔNICAS 21:4-7, 16-20  Plano De Leitura Anual: JEREMIAS 12–14; 2 TIMÓTEO 1  Já fez seu devocional hoje? Aproveite e marque um amigo para fazer junto com você! Confira:  No popular musical Hamilton, o rei inglês, George III, é humoristicamente apresentado como um vilão desvairado. No entanto, na nova biografia do rei, conta-se que ele não era o tirano descrito no musical ou na declaração da independência americana. Se fosse o déspota brutal que dizem que ele era, teria interrompido a busca pela independência dos EUA com medidas extremas. George foi contido por seu temperamento civilizado e bem-humorado. Será que ele morreu pesaroso? Teria o seu reinado tido mais sucesso caso tivesse sido mais duro com os súditos? Não necessariamente. Na Bíblia, lemos sobre o rei Jeorão, que solidificou seu trono quando “matou todos os seus irmãos e outros líderes de Judá” (2 CRÔNICAS 21:4). Jeorão “era mau aos olhos do Senhor” (v.6). Seu reinado cruel alienou seu povo, que não chorou pela morte horrível dele nem fez “fogueira em sua homenagem” (v.19). Os historiadores podem debater se George era muito brando; sabemos que Jeorão certamente foi muito duro. Uma maneira melhor é a do Rei Jesus, que é “cheio de graça e de verdade” (JOÃO 1:14). As expectativas de Cristo são firmes (Ele exige a verdade), no entanto, Ele aceita aqueles que falham (e estende Sua graça). Jesus chama os que creem nele a seguir a Sua liderança. Então, por meio da direção de Seu Espírito Santo, Ele nos capacita.  Por: MIKE WITTMER

What happens when luxury design meets the wild?Award-winning designer, Graeme Labe, Managing Partner and Chief Design Officer at Luxury Frontiers, shares how he's redefining hospitality by crafting experiences that connect people deeply to nature, while championing sustainability and community. Graeme shares his journey from traditional hospitality design to founding Luxury Frontiers, which focuses on creating unique, luxurious experiences in remote locations. The conversation covers topics such as the importance of experiential hospitality, the challenges of working in remote environments, and the role of sustainability and community engagement in their projects. Graeme also discusses the innovation culture within his team, their participation in the Radical Innovation Award, and the significance of site-specific design.Takeaways: Focus on creating unique, immersive experiences that connect guests to their environment, rather than just providing traditional luxury.Design experiences that gently push guests out of their comfort zones, allowing them to grow while still feeling safe and cared for.Integrate sustainability into every aspect of your projects: from site selection and building materials to community engagement and ongoing operations.Foster a culture of innovation within your team. Set up internal labs or competitions to encourage experimentation with new materials and ideas.Use natural materials and let the surrounding environment take center stage in your designs. Break down barriers between indoors and outdoors to enhance biophilic experiences.Thoughtfully integrate technology to improve comfort and accessibility, but also create opportunities for guests to disconnect and fully immerse themselves in the experience.Treat logistical, regulatory, and environmental constraints as opportunities to innovate and improve your designs.Quote of the Show:“ It's those moments that take you out of your comfort zone, when you're truly immersed in a place, that change your life. That's the kind of experience we try to design for.” - Graeme LabeLinks:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/graeme-labe-a0332b19/ Website: https://www.luxury-frontiers.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/luxury_frontiers/ Shout Outs:1:16 - Radical Innovation https://www.radicalinnovation.io/ 1:53 - AHEAD Awards https://www.aheadawards.com/ 5:26 - The Lion King https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lion_King 7:08 - Orient Express Hotels https://www.orient-express.com/hotels 9:47 - Volkswagen https://www.vw.com/en.html 9:48 - Coleman https://www.coleman.com/ 22:16 - Luca Franco https://www.linkedin.com/in/luca-franco-5507b311/ 28:18 - Blue Sky Award https://www.blueskyawards.com/en/ 30:41 - Anomien Smith https://www.linkedin.com/in/anomien-smith-73917715/ 35:02 - The Crown https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Crown_(TV_series) 35:05 - King George https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_III 35:09 - Queen Elizabeth https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_II 41:34 - Hirsch Bedner https://hba.com/ 41:45 - Michael Bedner https://hba.com/legacy/ 50:59 - Six Senses https://www.sixsenses.com/en/ 51:04 - Ritz Carlton https://www.ritzcarlton.com/ 51:06 - Marriott https://www.marriott.com/default.mi 51:07 - Four Seasons https://www.fourseasons.com/

Nous sommes le vingt juin 1837, jour de l'accession au trône de Victoria. La jeune reine a dix-huit ans, et la vieille monarchie anglaise est au plus mal. La dynastie des Hanovre a été discréditée par la folie du roi George III et par les vies dissolues de ses fils et successeurs, George IV et Guillaume IV. Sur le plan, économique et social, la Révolution industrielle a entrainé des mutations qui font souffrir la population A Londres, un quart des femmes se prostituent, le suffrage universel n'existe pas. C'est alors que s'ouvre l'époque que l'on nommera « victorienne », elle va durer près de soixante-quatre ans.

Have you ever considered that the key to leadership isn't just vision, but also preparation? Kevin sits down with Coach Matthew Mitchell to explore the role of preparation in leadership and in building winning teams. Matthew shares his five levels of preparation: casual, cursory, compliant, committed, and constant. He believes leaders need to reach levels 4 and 5, where thorough systems, discipline, and introspection take precedence. Using Coach John Wooden's approach, he explains that most preparation should focus on your systems, only delving deeply into the competitor's game when necessary, such as during critical “special situations.” Listen For 00:00 Introduction 00:36 Welcome to the podcast 01:06 About Kevin's book “Flexible Leadership” 01:33 Guest introduction: Coach Matthew Mitchell 02:27 Overview of Coach Mitchell's coaching career 03:44 How he got into coaching and writing 06:16 Why return to coaching now? 07:35 Focus of the book: preparation 08:32 Why preparation matters 10:23 Casino analogy: "the house always wins" 13:00 The five levels of preparation 17:01 Where organizations typically fall on the preparation spectrum 18:36 Peyton Manning's quote on preparation and work ethic 20:19 Attitude and effort: what we can control 22:17 Coaching insights that apply to business 24:22 The importance of identifying your “bread and butter” 25:03 Constant preparation and the power of systems 26:22 Preparing for strategy vs. reacting to the competition 30:27 Special situations in games and business 31:06 The danger of perfectionism vs. pursuit of excellence 32:11 What Coach Mitchell does for fun 33:03 What he's currently reading 34:39 Where to learn more about Coach Mitchell 35:24 Final thoughts and action steps for listeners 36:34 Closing remarks and next episode teaser Matthew's Story: Matthew Mitchell is the author of Ready to Win: How Great Leaders Succeed Through Preparation.

Hij schreef de Onafhankelijkheidsverklaring met de beroemdste Amerikaanse zinsnede, de Grondwet en de dollar. Hij was acht jaar president, een radicaal revolutionair én een man van aristocratisch, elitair leven. Hij was ook slavenhouder, uitvinder, architect, filosoof, tuinier en regelde met Napoleon de grootste onroerend goed transactie ooit. Thomas Jefferson leefde van 1743 tot 1826. Hij was heel veel en er wordt over hem nog steeds fel gedebatteerd, bijna 200 jaar na zijn dood.Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger en Amerika-kenner Pirmin Olde Weghuis nemen je in deze aflevering van onze serie over 250 jaar Verenigde Staten van Amerika mee in zijn avontuurlijke leven waarin heel jong al het leergierig genie en de open blik op de wereld werd gewekt. ***Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken.

De complete tekst plus linkjes en een overzicht van al onze eerdere afleveringen vind je hier***Het Congres van de dertien rebelse Britse koloniën zette de revolutionaire politiek-filosoof aan het werk. Met zijn briljante pen moest hij het manifest schrijven dat koning George III voorgoed zou afzweren en een Republiek stichten.Het werd een tekst waarin hij universele waarden combineerde met vlijmscherpe juridische aanvallen op de vorst en zijn repressie. Volgens zijn vriend Benjamin Franklin zou de 'Declaration of Independence' als gevolg hebben 'dat we nu samen moeten strijden of een voor een zullen hangen'.De jonge republiek stuurde hem als ambassadeur naar Parijs, hoofdstad van de belangrijkste bondgenoot. Daar dacht hij actief mee met de revolutionairen daar. Het dwong hem - ook als getuige van de 14e juli 1789! - de gruwelen in deze jaren te analyseren en het leerde hem essentiële lessen in politiek leiderschap en geopolitieke visie. Toen hij in Amerika terugkwam kreeg hij functies op het allerhoogste niveau en zijn ervaringen in Frankrijk drongen zo door in het politiek debat in het Congres en George Washingtons regering.Jefferson bleef revolutionaire idealen steunen, terwijl anderen zoals John Adams en Alexander Hamilton zeer argwanend waren tegen 'mob rule', zoals ze in Frankrijk zagen heersen. Uit hun conflicten ontstonden de twee grote politieke partijen die we nu nog kennen in Amerika.Na een buitengewoon smerige campagne versloeg hij in 1800 president John Adams. Als leider van zijn land was Jefferson een krachtig bestuurder. Hij deed iets wat de toekomst van Amerika voorgoed zou veranderen. Hij dealde met Napoleon en kocht de Franse kolonie Louisiana voor 15 miljoen dollar zodat de jonge staat Amerika in een klap bijna heel het continent zou omvatten. De wereldmacht van de toekomst, iets wat Jefferson zich toen al zeer bewust was.Uniek in de wereldgeschiedenis is een samenwerking die door toeval ontstond. Alexander von Humboldt bezocht Jefferson en met diens ervaringen als ontdekker en wetenschapper als inspiratie ontwierp de president de strategie om 'Louisiana' te verkennen en te gaan exploiteren voor komende generaties.In de lange jaren na zijn presidentschap werkte Jefferson aan zijn juweel Monticello en de tuinen en natuur eromheen, stichtte zijn universiteit en verzoende zich uiteindelijk met rivaal John Adams. In hun uitzonderlijke correspondentie klink het besef door, dat met alle verschillen van mening en ervaring ze allebei toch een leven en loopbaan hadden meegemaakt die in de wereldgeschiedenis een unicum waren geweest. Van verlichtingsdenker, rebel, stichter van een nieuwe wereldmacht, diplomaat, president en zelfs collega van het genie Von Humboldt. Een 'life' dus van grote 'liberty' en gekenschetst door een 'pursuit of happiness' voor hemzelf en de hele natie.***Verder kijkenThomas Jefferson, documentaire uit 1997 van de Amerikaanse publieke omroep PBS***Verder luisteren513 – Tanks rollen door Washington DC, Donald Trump geeft een feestje185 - De Amerikaanse Burgeroorlog (1): Black Lives Matter en George Floyd, hoe de burgeroorlog op de VS nog altijd zijn stempel drukt228 - De Amerikaanse Burgeroorlog (2): hoe Abraham Lincoln onvoorbereid de strijd in ging263 - De Amerikaanse Burgeroorlog (3): de overwinning van Abraham Lincoln en Ulysses Grant459 – Rolmodel George Washington397 - Benjamin Franklin, Zijner Majesteits meest loyale rebel363 - Extra zomeraflevering: PG tipt boeken!

Zaterdag 14 juni wordt president Donald Trump 79. Hij houdt een militaire parade in Washington DC ter viering van de 250e verjaardag van het nationale leger, de US Army. En daar beginnen de problemen al. Want klopt dat wel? En past een parade echt bij die historie? Wat weten we eigenlijk van die rijk geschakeerde geschiedenis? Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger praten hierover met Amerika-kenner par excellence Pirmin Olde Weghuis.***Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken.

De complete tekst plus linkjes en een overzicht van al onze eerdere afleveringen vind je hier***In 1775 was er nog geen US Army, de Verenigde Staten zélf bestonden nog niet eens. Wel was er een bende ongeregeld, vaak zonder uniform en schoenen, die onder generaal George Washington de 'Continental Army' vormde. Deze rebellen vochten tegen het machtige leger dat wereldwijd in vele koloniën de dienst uitmaakte. Het Britse leger van koning George III.Washington en zijn mannen wonnen die opstand. De rebellen maakten daarmee de stichting van een nieuwe Republiek van vrije burgers mogelijk. Hun legertje werd ontbonden en aanvoerder Washington moest heel zijn gezag inzetten om muiterij te voorkomen. De helden waren eigenwijs én ontevreden. De politici van die Republiek braken zich het hoofd over 'hoe nu verder?' Pirmin Olde Weghuis vertelt hoe zij een groot staatsrechtelijk en strategisch dilemma moesten ontwarren: géén leger zoals George III dat had, geen krijgsmacht zonder controle door burgers, maar wel een effectieve bescherming van de nieuwe natie.Eén van hun vondsten was het fameuze ‘tweede amendement op de Grondwet', dat elke burger het recht gaf voor de militie van de nieuwe Republiek een wapen te dragen. Zo werd de US Army een tijdelijke krijgsmacht, die door vrijwilligers gevormd werd in tijden van plotselinge nood of gevaar voor de natie.Heel anders was de Navy. De marine was de trots van Amerika en vertoonde zich niet zachtzinnig op de wereldzeeën. Het leger was vooral een grenspolitie in de enorme wildernis van het westen van het continent. PG vertelt over Fort Davis in zuidwest-Texas, waar de boeiende, maar prozaïsche realiteit van dat cavaleristenleger van toen nu nog te beleven is. De US Army was zo klein dat bij het uitbreken van de Burgeroorlog in 1861 maar 16.000 troepen dienden, onder wie vele ambtenaren in Washington en buitenposten. Geen wonder dat president Abraham Lincoln af en toe wanhopig was over zijn manschappen, hun incompetente generaals en de bloederige confrontaties met de zuidelijke slavenstaten. Pas toen hij Ulysses Grant ontdekte, vond hij een militair professional die de overwinning kon afdwingen. Na de Burgeroorlog werd - zoals al eerder na elke militaire confrontatie - de US Army onmiddellijk gedechargeerd. De krijgsmacht verdampte tot een papieren organisatie. Wel liet deze oorlog iets heel nieuws achter. De meest geduchte politieke lobbyclub van Amerika, de belangenorganisatie van veteranen en hun weduwen en wezen. Ook bij de Eerste Wereldoorlog gebeurde dit. De US Army was kleiner dan het leger van Portugal.Franklin Delano Roosevelt zette vanaf 1938 een revolutie in gang. Als een soort militaire 'New Deal' begon deze president een herbewapening, waarmee hij Amerika en de hightech en industriële macht in zijn natie in recordtijd tot een supermacht uitbouwde. Inclusief de eerste kernwapens. Zijn opvolger Harry Truman reorganiseerde dat reusachtig apparaat zeer fors en die ingreep is ook nu nog het fundament van Amerika's militaire dominantie. Een Republikeinse generaal werd president in 1953. Hij analyseerde wat sinds 1938 was gebeurd en Dwight Eisenhower besloot bij zijn afscheid in 1961 te waarschuwen voor de impact van die combinatie van technologie, economie en militaire macht op een Republiek van vrije burgers. Het ‘militair-industriële complex' moest aan banden gelegd en het toezicht nadrukkelijk bij de burgers. Het is een visie die we bij de Republikeinse partijgenoot Donald Trump nimmer horen. Hij wil zo'n parade al sinds hij op 14 juli 2017 eregast was bij president Emmanuel Macron in Parijs. 14 juni, zijn eigen verjaardag, is geen toevallige datum.Overal in de Verenigde Staten zijn op die dag protestbijeenkomsten onder de pakkende titel 'No Kings'. Het achttiende-eeuwse, principiële besef en de visie van Eisenhower slaan de handen ineen. 250 jaar na George Washington en met de lessen van Lincoln, FDR en Eisenhower voor ogen, staan de Amerikanen opnieuw op een tweesprong.

Happy birthday Mr. President! Today for George Washington's birthday we invited Washington scholar Craig Bruce Smith to talk about why we still don't have a biopic of the First American, plus Craig's top five presidents ever.About our guest:Craig Bruce Smith is an associate professor of history at National Defense University in the Joint Advanced Warfighting School (JAWS) in Norfolk, VA. He authored American Honor: The Creation of the Nation's Ideals during the Revolutionary Era and co-authored George Washington's Lessons in Ethical Leadership.Smith earned his PhD in American history from Brandeis University. Previously, he was an associate professor of military history at the U.S. Army School of Advanced Military Studies (SAMS), an assistant professor of history, and the director of the history program at William Woods University, and he has taught at additional colleges, including Tufts University. He specializes in American Revolutionary and early American history, specifically focusing on George Washington, honor, ethics, war, the founders, transnational ideas, and national identity. In addition, he has broader interests in colonial America, the early republic, leadership, and early American cultural, intellectual, and political history. 

George III's mental incapacitation was formally recognised by Parliament on February 5th, 1811, when The Regency Act handed power to his son, the future George IV.  Though George III had struggled with bouts of illness for decades, his periods of lucidity made it difficult to decide when, or even if, he should be replaced. He resisted the idea of ceding power, particularly to his son, with whom he had a notoriously difficult relationship. Parliament wasn't thrilled about George IV either, seeing him as indulgent, irresponsible, and politically aligned with the opposition. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly examine George III's "mad spells"; discover the shockingly cruel treatments contemporary medicine offered up - including blistering his skin with arsenic, dunking him in freezing water, and using leeches to "suck out the madness" - and explain how he kept the love of his people even as his health declined… CONTENT WARNING: mental health trauma, infant mortality.

Queen Charlotte went from minor German country gentry to Queen Consort of Great Britain and Ireland. She and George III had a happy marriage and an astonishing 15 children. Charlotte stayed out of politics as her husband lost the American revolution, and she lost her dear friend, Marie Antoinette in the French revolution. Charlotte made numerous cultural contributions including introducing the Christmas tree to Britain and throwing the first debutante ball. In her later years she had to watch as her husband slipped into mental illness and her children struggled to produce a new generation of royals.

It's a fascinating book (and podcast!) covering lots of fascinating characters - from Henry VIII and George III to chocolatiers and the Romanovs. For more on Gareth, you can find him on Twitter (https://x.com/garethrussell1) and Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/_garethrussell) Learn more about your ad choices.

In 1760, George III succeeded to the throne of the United Kingdom at the age of 22, becoming the third king in the House of Hannover.  His reign would become one of the longest in British history, and he was monarch during some of the most important events in history including the American Revolution, the Industrial Revolution, and the Napoleonic Wars.  However, his reign was also marked by a serious illness that eventually rendered him king in name only.

Historian Andrew Roberts is the author of more than a dozen major works of history, including Napoleon: A Life, Churchill: Walking with Destiny, and The Last King of America: The Misunderstood Reign of George III. His latest book, coauthored with General David Petraeus, is Conflict: The Evolution of Warfare from 1945 to Ukraine, which provides the basis for this interview. Roberts discusses the differences in the way nations and allied forces prosecute wars in the twentieth century vs. today. Roberts also discusses his strong support for Israel in the current conflict in Gaza both in the media and in the House of Lords, where  he is now a member. Roberts also explains (with some understandable exasperation) why Ridley Scott (the director of the recent film biography of Napoleon) is wrong —really wrong—when he says that historians are not to be trusted because “they weren't there” when they describe historical events.
