Uncover the untold power of female monarchs as Elizabeth Norton debunks myths and reveals hidden histories.Paul Bavill welcomes Elizabeth Norton, author of Women Who Ruled: 5,000 Years of Female Monarchy, to challenge the entrenched perceptions surrounding female monarchs throughout history. In partnership with the Gloucester History Festival, they dive into the complexities of queenship and the often harsh realities faced by women in power.The Struggle for Recognition:Elizabeth passionately discusses the historical bias against female rulers, highlighting how they have frequently been seen as a last resort rather than respected leaders. She argues that the treatment of reigning queens often reflects societal misogyny, with women unfairly blamed for political instability and dynastic failures.Unveiling the Rarity:While female monarchs may be rare in the patriarchal landscape of history, Elizabeth reveals that there have been numerous powerful queens across the globe. From ancient Egypt to the British Isles, she uncovers the stories of those who ruled in their own right, challenging the misconception that women in power are an anomaly.Redefining Queenship:Listeners will be introduced to the concept of 'female kings' as Elizabeth argues for a shift in terminology that better reflects the authority of these rulers. She discusses the nuances between regnant, regent, and consort roles, and why it's crucial to recognise the autonomy of women who have taken the throne.Powerful Examples:Throughout the episode, Elizabeth shares compelling stories of lesser-known queens, such as Wu Zetian of China and Charlotte of Cyprus, who faced immense challenges yet left their mark on history. Their legacies serve as a reminder of the resilience and capability of women in leadership roles.This episode is a rallying cry for recognising the strength and significance of female monarchs, encouraging listeners to reconsider their historical narratives. Join Elizabeth to unravel the complexities of queenship and celebrate the powerful women who have shaped history.Guest Information:Elizabeth Norton is speaking at the Gloucester History Festival on Friday 19th September at 10:00 am.

Professor of Medieval History David Carpenter passionately debunks myths about the Magna Carta, revealing its true impact.In this engaging episode of History Rage, host Paul Bavill is joined by esteemed historian and professor of medieval history at King's College London, David Carpenter, as they navigate the turbulent waters of 1215—a year marked by rebellious barons, a tempestuous king, and the historic signing of the Magna Carta. The Myth of the Signature:David passionately debunks the long-standing misconception that King John 'signed' the Magna Carta, clarifying that it was, in fact, sealed. He elaborates on the significance of this document, which for the first time formally subjected the king to the law, ensuring that no one could be imprisoned or stripped of their property without due legal process. Beyond the Barons:Listeners will discover that the Magna Carta is not merely a self-serving agreement for the barons, but a charter that encompasses a broader societal context, addressing the rights of the church, local governance, and even the rights of women, albeit with notable limitations. The Legacy of the Charter:As the conversation unfolds, David shares insights into the evolving interpretation of the Magna Carta throughout history, including its relevance in contemporary legal contexts. He highlights how key principles from the charter continue to resonate in modern legal frameworks, underscoring its enduring legacy. Exciting Discoveries:In a thrilling twist, David recounts his recent discovery of a previously overlooked original copy of the 1300 Magna Carta at Harvard Law School, sparking new interest and research into the document's historical significance and its impact on the rule of law. This episode is a compelling exploration of one of history's most pivotal documents, challenging listeners to reconsider the narratives surrounding the Magna Carta and its implications for freedom and governance. Join Paul and David as they unravel the complexities of a document that has shaped the course of history.

fWotD Episode 3020: Berners Street hoax Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Monday, 11 August 2025, is Berners Street hoax.The Berners Street hoax was perpetrated by the writer Theodore Hook in London in 1810. After several weeks of preparation he made an apparently spontaneous bet with a friend that he could transform any property into the most talked-about address in London. Hook spent six weeks sending between a thousand and four thousand letters to tradespeople and businesses ordering deliveries of their goods and services to 54 Berners Street, London, at various times on 27 November 1810. Several well-known people were also invited to call on the address, including the chairmen of the Bank of England and the East India Company, the Duke of Gloucester and the Lord Mayor of London.Hook and his friends rented rooms in the house opposite number 54 to view proceedings. Chimney sweeps began arriving at the address at 5:00 am on the day, followed by hundreds of representatives of several trades and businesses, including auctioneers, undertakers, grocers, butchers, bakers, pastry chefs and dancing masters; goods deliveries included organs, furniture, coal, wedding cakes, food, drink and a coffin. The police were called to try and manage the crowd but they were not able to clear the street until after the final influx of visitors at 5:00 pm: domestic servants who thought they were to be interviewed for a job.Hook was unidentified at the time, but admitted his involvement in a semi-autobiographical novel published twenty-five years after the event. The hoax was repeated across Britain and Paris, and was retold on stage, in song and by cartoonists.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:55 UTC on Monday, 11 August 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Berners Street hoax 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 generative Danielle.

In this thought-provoking episode of History Rage, host Paul Bavill engages in a lively discussion with historian and author Tessa Dunlop, whose latest work, Lest We Forget: War and Peace in 100 Monuments, challenges our perceptions of commemoration and the stories behind the monuments that dot our landscapes.Commemoration Under Scrutiny: Tessa delves into the complexities of memorialisation, particularly in relation to significant figures like Alan Turing and the overlooked contributions of women during wartime. She shares her experiences interviewing veterans, including 99-year-old Ruth Bourne, who served at Bletchley Park and offers a unique perspective on the legacies of those who fought for freedom.Revisiting the Past: The conversation explores how our understanding of historical events, such as the Boer War and World War II, has evolved over time. Tessa highlights the importance of recognising the voices of those who experienced these conflicts firsthand, while also addressing the uncomfortable truths that often accompany our national narratives.The Role of Monuments: Tessa discusses the significance of monuments in shaping collective memory, questioning why certain figures are celebrated while others are neglected. The episode challenges listeners to reflect on what these structures represent and how they influence our understanding of history.The Gloucester History Festival Blackfriars Talks run from 13th September through to 21st September and Tickets are available at https://www.gloucesterhistoryfestival.co.uk/Tessa will be speaking with Bletchley veteran Ruth Bourne on Tuesday 16th September at 4:00pm and tickets are available here: https://www.gloucesterhistoryfestival.co.uk/events/bletchley-park-remembering-world-war-two/Guest Information:Follow Tessa on social media on X and Bluesky: @tessadunlop and on Instagram @tessa_dunlopBuy Tessa's books:Lest We Forget: https://uk.bookshop.org/a/10120/9780008713140Bletchley Girls: https://uk.bookshop.org/a/10120/9781444795745Army Girls: https://uk.bookshop.org/a/10120/9781472282118Support History Rage on Patreon for exclusive content and early episode access at www.patreon.com/historyrage.For more historical insights, visit our website www.historyrage.com.Follow History Rage on Social Media:Twitter: https://twitter.com/HistoryRageInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/historyrageStay Angry, Stay Informed - History Rage Hosted on Acast.

Welcome to a previously untested podcast format (for us!) - a walk and talk. Kenton recorded this episode with adventurer, writer and super-mum, Anna McNuff, whilst walking on Leckhampton Hill in Gloucestershire, and it really is a cool conversation! Anna and her husband, Jamie McDonald (another adventurer), have recently decided to sell their house in Gloucester and live a more nomadic lifestyle with their three children. As you will hear, Anna has undertaken many adventures and she wants her children to experience life a bit differently. Kenton and Anna discuss her thinking behind this big change, and they also cover a broad range of subjects including Madagascar (the film!), squats, Mum duty, trains, unschooling, mini-adventures, big adventures and Gloucestershire geography... You're in for a treat! This conversation is interspersed with dog chats, hellos to other walkers, and some wind noise - we hope you don't mind. Let us know what you think of the format!
In King Lear, Shakespeare has the king cry out, “Break, heart; I prithee, break!”—a line rich with sorrow, and one that may have held deeper meaning for Shakespeare's audience than we often assume. Modern medicine identifies Takotsubo Syndrome—also known as “broken heart syndrome”—as a temporary dysfunction of the heart triggered by emotional distress. Incredibly, this concept may have had early roots in the Renaissance understanding of how emotion and the body were intertwined.In this episode, we explore the 17th-century medical beliefs that made room for literal heartbreak, and the evidence in Shakespeare's plays that suggests he was engaging with those very ideas. From Lear and Gloucester to Enobarbus and Cleopatra, Shakespeare's characters don't just feel emotion—they suffer from it physically, sometimes fatally.Our guests this week, Dr. Bríd Phillips and Dr. Claire Hansen, are here to unpack their research connecting Shakespeare's portrayals of heartbreak with modern cardiology, showing us how the science of the heart may have been hidden in plain sight on the Renaissance stage. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
I would say that there are 2 maybe 3 cases in modern UK true crime that are household names even to this day both of which I vowed I would never cover on this podcast. And yet here we are, in Gloucester in 1994 at the home of Fred and Rose West, dubbed in the media at the time as the 'House of Horrors'. I have left out the majority of the details of what actually happened to their victims as I don't think its necerssary to go into it. The suffering was prolonged and horrifying. But becasue I am going on holiday and didn't like to leave you with nothing, here we are at part 1 of the story of 25 Cromwell Street.

WBZ NewsRadio's Emma Friedman reports.
Chef Kyle Perkins has found his culinary home at Salt & Meadow inside The Tides Inn in Irvington, Virginia, where the breathtaking waterfront views and local seafood inspire his cooking. "I came and I walked through the front door at the Tides Inn. I saw the view, and I said, 'Yep, sign me up,'" Perkins said. Before joining The Tides Inn as executive chef, Perkins worked at Twin Farms, a boutique resort in Vermont that he describes as "a true definition of escaping reality" with no phone service and a secluded woodland setting. The Vermont native's journey to The Tides Inn came after a stint in San Francisco during 2020, when the pandemic made city living unaffordable and limited opportunities. He returned to Vermont, briefly worked in landscaping, then joined Twin Farms under chef Nathan Rich, who provided "an excellent platform for me to excel and grow." When the opportunity at The Tides Inn presented itself through Tanzerra Resorts, the property's parent company, Perkins was immediately drawn to the unique coastal setting. The transition from Vermont to Virginia's Northern Neck brought significant changes to his culinary approach. At Twin Farms, Perkins served about 28 guests and could change menus at will. At The Tides Inn, he feeds up to 300 people daily and focuses on consistency. "Making sure that recipes are extremely consistent, because I don't have the ability every single day to change the menu," Perkins said. Being on the water has also influenced his menu, with seafood playing a prominent role. Perkins has even worked on an oyster farm to better understand the local industry. "I've worked out on an oyster farm for a couple of days, and they were 12-hour back-breaking days. It's no joke. I have a lot more respect for what they're doing out there on the water," Perkins said. To source local ingredients, Perkins explores the area and builds relationships with producers like Young Overholt in Gloucester, which raises cattle on seventh-generation family land. "He's pushing for quality. He's not pushing for quantity. And that's something that we want to promote," Perkins said. "As we kind of reverse back in time, and we go back to this farm to table, which used to be the norm, and we go back to buying things from your neighbor and not buying it from a supermarket." The Tides Inn offers guests a unique experience on a peninsula that feels secluded yet welcoming. The property features a boardwalk showcasing their living shoreline, a marina, croquet lawn, bocce court, and the more casual Fish Hawk bar. While the restaurant is "a little more upscale" with a dress code, Perkins aims to create an inviting atmosphere with elevated home-style cooking. "We want them to feel welcome. We want them to feel at home, but like whoa. This tastes like home-cooked food, but it doesn't look like it. It's a level up," Perkins said. The Tides Inn continues to add unique experiences for guests, including crab feasts on boat rides and, most recently, seaplane tours that depart directly from the property.

Secrets of the hoax – real & imagined beastsOur first guest Simon Lea had two close encounters with a large black panther at his farmholding in Oxfordshire. He later created the life-size metal panther that was positioned in Charlbury in a large garden close to the station. The ‘panther' was spotted by train passengers and sometimes got reported as a real big cat, as previously discussed on ep 93 of the podcast. We hear the full story behind the Charlbury Panther from Simon.Simon has just made a replica Charlbury Panther for the coming event, Depicting Britain's Beasts – the art of British big cats, at Nature in Art gallery, Gloucestershire, 12-22 August, 2025. https://natureinart.org.uk/event/depicting-britains-beasts-the-art-of-british-big-cats/?instance_id=977#:~:text=With%20evidence%20from%20DNA%20and,been%20moved%20to%20illustrate%20them.Our second guest Andy Council is a Bristol based mural painter and graffiti artist.

The Story this week focuses upon several things- fighting between lawyers and butchers over by the Fleet River; the massive attack upon Calais by the French; the political intrigues between the Duke of Gloucester and Cardinal Beaufort as the 100 Years War dragged itself to its inevitable conclusion… but mostly we focus upon the greatest political scandal of the 1440's; the downfall of the Duchess of Gloucester. But more than that… we go beyond the public acts of contrition undertaken by this woman, to focus on the story of an overlooked figure; a woman who lived on the outskirts of the city, and whose story illuminates dark aspects of London life- this is the story of the Witch of Eye.
