The pineapple - today a familiar tropical fruit, boxed in lunch kits and blended in cocktails - was once the most exotic and awe-inspiring delicacy known to Europeans. Its journey from the hands of Indigenous cultivators in the rainforests of South America to the hothouses of Georgian England is a tale of exploration, obsession, imperial rivalry, and horticultural espionage.In this first episode of a two-part series, John and Patrick trace the pineapple's origins to the Tupi-Guarani people, for whom the nana was a cherished crop. Then came Columbus, who encountered the fruit on the island of Guadeloupe and, dazzled by its flavour, brought it back to Spain as a trophy of the New World - presenting it to King Ferdinand as evidence of the riches ripe for conquest. From there, the pineapple set off on an extraordinary global voyage, becoming an object of fascination in courts and colonies alike.Within decades, the fruit had spread to Asia and Africa, and it wasn't long before European elites became obsessed. In England, King Charles II embraced the pineapple as a symbol of royal magnificence, commissioning portraits to cement its mythic status. Meanwhile, the Dutch, ever resourceful, mastered the art of growing pineapples using rotting tanners bark in heated greenhouses, setting off a botanical arms race. The English soon caught up thanks, ironically, to a Dutchman of their own.Join John and Patrick as they uncover the tropical fruit that ignited imperial rivalries, captured royal imaginations, and reshaped global agriculture. The humble pineapple was never just a fruit - it was power, prestige, and paradise incarnate.----------In Sponsorship with Cornell University: Dyson Cornell SC Johnson College of Business-----------Join the History of Fresh Produce Club for ad-free listening, bonus episodes, book discounts and access to an exclusive chatroom community.Support us!Share this episode with your friendsGive a 5-star ratingWrite a review -----------Subscribe to our biweekly newsletter here for extra stories related to recent episodes, book recommendations, a sneak peek of upcoming episodes and more.-----------Step into history - literally!

Waarom lopen Westerse zakenlieden in het kostuum van de 17e eeuwse Britse aristocratie? Arno Kantelberg neemt ons mee naar het hof van King Charles II, die verordeneerde dat zijn hof een drie-delig pak aan moest. Op de snit van de broek en de invoering van de rits na is er amper iets veranderd sinds die tijd. En hoewel Londen het tegenwoordig aflegt als modestad tegen Milaan en Parijs is de Britse invloed op de mode nog altijd duidelijk aanwezig. Dit is een speciale aflevering van Van Bekhovens Britten. Lia is met welverdiende vakantie, en dus gaat Connor in gesprek met gasten met een bijzondere kijk op, of link met, de Britten. Over Van Bekhovens Britten In van Bekhovens Britten praten Lia van Bekhoven en Connor Clerx elke week over de grootste nieuwsonderwerpen en de belangrijkste ontwikkelingen in het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Van Brexit naar binnenlandse politiek, van de Royals tot de tabloids. Waarom fascineert het VK Nederlanders meer dan zo veel andere Europese landen? Welke rol speelt het vooralsnog Verenigd Koninkrijk in Europa, nu het woord Brexit uit het Britse leven lijkt verbannen, maar de gevolgen van de beslissing om uit de EU te stappen iedere dag duidelijker worden? De Britse monarchie, en daarmee de staat, staat voor grote veranderingen na de dood van Queen Elisabeth en de kroning van haar zoon Charles. De populariteit van het Koningshuis staat op een dieptepunt. Hoe verandert de Britse monarchie onder koning Charles, en welke gevolgen heeft dat voor de Gemenebest? In Van Bekhovens Britten analyseren Lia en Connor een Koninkrijk met tanende welvaart, invloed en macht. De Conservatieve Partij leverde veertien jaar op rij de premier, maar nu heeft Labour onder Keir Starmer de teugels in handen. Hoe ziet het VK er onder Keir Starmer uit? En hoe gaan de ‘gewone’ Britten, voor zover die bestaan, daar mee om? Al deze vragen en meer komen aan bod in Van Bekhovens Britten. Een kritische blik op het Verenigd Koninkrijk, waar het een race tussen Noord-Ierland en Schotland lijkt te worden wie zich het eerst af kan scheiden van het VK. Hoe lang blijft het Koninkrijk verenigd? Na ruim 45 jaar onder de Britten heeft Lia van Bekhoven een unieke kijk op het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Als inwoner, maar zeker geen anglofiel, heeft ze een scherpe blik op het nieuws, de politiek, de monarchie en het dagelijkse leven aan de overkant van de Noordzee. Elke woensdag krijg je een nieuwe podcast over het leven van Van Bekhovens Britten in je podcastapp. Scherpe analyses, diepgang waar op de radio geen tijd voor is en een flinke portie humor.

How did a working class illiterate woman become King Charles II's favourite mistress?Nell Gwyn was an incredibly talented comedy actor who came from a working class background, and was part of a group of pioneering women who were the first allowed to take to the stage to play women's roles.Her personality was huge, audiences loved her ability to swear, and she was described as "the wildest creature to ever be seen at court."

Charles II, King of England, Scotland & Ireland from 1660 to 1685 is one of the most notorious lotharios in history. He loved the ladies and took both noble women and commoner actresses to bed, sometimes multiple times a day. And the ladies were certainly up for it. In addition to enjoying the charming sovereign's company, they also enjoyed the gifts, estates, and noble titles he lavished upon them and their children. Last week we met Charles's 14 known mistresses. Today we'll meet the results of all that sensual behavior, the King's 13 recognized illegitimate children. To his sons he granted Dukedoms and Earldoms and for his daughters he arranged marriages to the wealthiest noble bachelors. The King personally populated a new generation of English peers. But despite his lusty libido, Charles didn't have a single legitimate child to inherit his throne. When he died and his unpopular brother became King James II many in the nation looked to his eldest illegitimate son as a possible alternative monarch and rebellion ensued. Let's meet King Charles II's 13 Illegitimate Children... James Scott, Duke of Monmouth Charlotte FitzRoy, Countess of Yarmouth Charles FitzCharles, Earl of Plymouth Catherine FitzCharles Anne Palmer, Countess of Sussex Charles FitzRoy, Duke of Cleveland Henry FitzRoy, Duke of Grafton Charlotte Lee, Countess of Lichfield George FitzRoy, Duke of Northumberland Charles Beauclerk, Duke of St Albans James Beauclerk Charles Lennox, Duke of Richmond Mary Tudor, Countess of Derwentwater Join me every Tuesday when I'm Spilling the Tea on History!

Charles II, King of England, Scotland & Ireland from 1660 to 1685 is one of the most notorious lotharios in history. The swarthy sovereign started early and continued making love, sometimes multiple times a day, until the week he died at 54. His court was famous for it's flagrant hedonism and he took both noble ladies and commoner actresses to bed. The women were certainly up for it. They took advantage of the charming King's affections to gain wealth and power they would never have had access to otherwise. Those who were fortunate enough to bare the King one of his 13 illegitimate children saw their offspring elevated to the peerage. Let's meet the 14 known mistresses of King Charles II: Christabella Wyndham Lucy Walter Jane Roberts Elizabeth Killigrew Catherine Pegge Barbara Villiers (Barbara Palmer) Winifred Wells Mary Bagot Mrs. Knight Nell Gwyn Louise de Kérouaille Mary ‘Moll' Davis Hortense Mancini Elizabeth Jones + Frances Stewart who managed to keep the King out of her bed Join me every Tuesday when I'm Spilling the Tea on History!

This Day in Legal History: Last Quaker Executed for Religious Beliefs in USOn March 24, 1661, William Leddra was executed in Boston, becoming the last Quaker in the American colonies to be put to death solely for his religious beliefs. Leddra, a devout Quaker, had previously been banished from Massachusetts under the colony's anti-Quaker laws but returned in defiance of the order. His return led to his arrest, imprisonment in harsh conditions through the winter, and eventual execution by hanging on Boston Common. His death marked the culmination of a brutal period of religious persecution in Puritan-controlled Massachusetts, where Quakers were seen as heretical threats to civil and religious order.Between 1659 and 1661, four Quakers—Marmaduke Stephenson, William Robinson, Mary Dyer, and William Leddra—were executed under laws banning Quakers from the colony. Their trials and punishments drew condemnation from other colonies and even from England. Leddra's hanging, in particular, caught the attention of King Charles II, who soon after issued a royal order halting capital punishment for religious dissent in Massachusetts. This effectively ended the execution of Quakers in the colonies.The persecution stemmed from Puritan authorities' intolerance of dissent and fear of Quaker evangelism, which rejected formal clergy and embraced equality, pacifism, and direct spiritual experience. Quakers continued to face fines, whippings, and imprisonment, but the death penalty was no longer enforced. Leddra's martyrdom, like that of his fellow Friends, became a symbol of religious freedom's cost and the struggle for tolerance in early America. His execution helped galvanize early opposition to theocratic rule and contributed to evolving colonial attitudes toward religious liberty.Paul Weiss Chairman Brad Karp alleged in a firmwide email that rival law firms attempted to take advantage of the firm's vulnerability following a March 14 executive order from President Donald Trump. The order directed federal agencies to sever contracts with Paul Weiss clients, prompting the firm to negotiate a deal with Trump rather than pursue litigation. Karp expressed disappointment that instead of receiving support, competitors tried to poach both clients and attorneys during the turmoil.The deal Paul Weiss struck included backing off diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives and committing $40 million to pro bono work aligned with Trump administration priorities. Karp stressed that the administration is not selecting or approving the firm's matters. He acknowledged internal backlash and intense emotions over the firm's course of action but maintained that litigation would have likely jeopardized the firm's future, even with a legal victory.Perkins Coie, targeted by a similar March 6 order, has chosen to sue and has already lost clients as a result. On March 21, Trump issued an additional executive order directing Attorney General Pam Bondi to sanction attorneys and firms pursuing what the administration deems frivolous or vexatious litigation against the government.Paul Weiss Chairman Accuses Rival Firms of Pursuing Clients (1)Law firm Paul Weiss defends deal with Trump as lawyers sound alarm | Reuters23andMe Holding Co. has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Missouri as it seeks to restructure and pursue a sale of the business. Despite financial challenges, the company plans to keep operating during the court-supervised process. The move is intended to help reduce costs, address legal and lease obligations, and stabilize operations.Once valued at $3.5 billion after going public in 2021, the DNA testing company has since struggled financially. Court filings list $277.4 million in assets and $214.7 million in liabilities. It secured up to $35 million in debtor-in-possession financing from JMB Capital Partners to support its operations during the bankruptcy.Co-founder Anne Wojcicki, who attempted unsuccessfully to take the company private earlier this month, has stepped down as CEO but will remain on the board. Joe Selsavage has been named interim CEO. The board's special committee chair, Mark Jensen, expressed hope that the bankruptcy process will allow 23andMe to address its challenges more effectively.23andMe Starts Chapter 11 Process, Co-Founder Steps Down - BloombergAt a recent hearing, U.S. District Judge James Boasberg criticized Trump administration lawyers for being “intemperate and disrespectful” in filings related to a case blocking the deportation of alleged Venezuelan gang members. The administration used the rarely invoked 1798 Alien Enemies Act to justify removing alleged members of Tren de Aragua without immigration court orders. Boasberg issued a 14-day freeze on those deportations, questioning the administration's interpretation of the law and whether the individuals had any real opportunity to challenge their designation as gang members.The administration filed documents accusing Boasberg of a "judicial fishing expedition," prompting his public rebuke. Boasberg emphasized the importance of professional conduct in court and asked the Justice Department to explain by Tuesday whether it had violated his order by allowing two deportation flights to land in El Salvador after his ruling.Though Trump has said he would not defy court orders, the situation has raised constitutional concerns about executive overreach. Some deportees were reportedly refused by El Salvador's government for not fitting the criteria or being the wrong nationality or gender. Lawyers for the migrants argue the administration's reliance on the Alien Enemies Act could lead to broad and discriminatory applications.Judge in deportations case says Trump administration lawyers were 'disrespectful' | ReutersA U.S. federal judge in Chicago has approved a highly unusual class-action settlement against facial recognition firm Clearview AI that doesn't include an immediate cash payout for affected individuals. Instead, under the agreement, class members—estimated to number between 65,000 and 125,000—may receive a 23% equity stake in the company. This could eventually translate into monetary compensation if Clearview is sold, merges, or goes public.The lawsuit accused Clearview of violating Illinois' Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA) by scraping billions of facial images from the internet and using them without consent. Clearview denied any wrongdoing. U.S. District Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman called the settlement “novel” but fair, emphasizing that the equity share isn't speculative, given the company's estimated valuation of up to $225 million. Based on that figure, the fund could reach $51.75 million.As an alternative to equity, a court-appointed official may require Clearview to pay 17% of its post-settlement revenue in cash by 2027. The deal also drew criticism from 22 states and D.C., which argued that the plaintiffs' attorneys' fees—nearly 40% of the settlement value—were excessive. Coleman defended the fees, noting that such awards are typical in the 7th Circuit.The judge further noted that continuing the litigation would be complex, costly, and time-consuming, justifying the settlement's structure.US judge approves 'novel' Clearview AI class action settlement | Reuters This is a public episode.

How did a lowly orange seller become the most famous actress of her time and mistress of King Charles II?In 1660, King Charles II ruled that female stage roles must be played by women, leading to the rise of the 'Covent Garden Goddesses'.

In 1672, the settlers of the New Jersey proprietary colony arose in a bloodless rebellion against Philip Carteret, appointed by the proprietors as governor. The wannabe rebels formed an illegal legislature, and installed Captain James Carteret as "president," putting them in conflict with Lord John Berkeley and Sir George Carteret, James's father. The conflict had to do with taxes, quitrents, and title to land. John Ogden, ancestor of your podcaster, emerged as a key player in the "popular party." By the summer of 1673, the proprietors, with the help of the Duke of York and King Charles II, had put down the rebellion. James, now virtually disowned by his father, fled to Carolina, but along the way would be captured by the Dutch captain Cornelis Evertson the Youngest, known to his many fans as "Kees the Devil." James, or one of his resentful allies, would describe the defenses of New York to Evertson, setting up the Dutch reconquest of New York.

In this episode we investigate the claim made by conservative Christians every year that Christmas is being threatened by forces they are weirdly shy about specifically naming. But of course the first and foremost piece of cognitive dissonance we must force our way through when examining the threat to Christmas is where it has ACTUALLY come from, historically. Christmas had been frowned upon and ignored in a lot of Protestant places throughout Europe for as long as the Protestant movement had existed. Their reasoning was pretty straight forward. Unbelievably straightforward and logical for Christians actually. The Christmas celebration is simply not Christian. The earliest mention of any Christmas celebration is from a Roman Bishop in 129ce. Long after the New Testament authors had passed. So while not celebrated by some Europeans, the first official state ban was introduced by the British Puritan Parliament in 1647. And that's where our story will start.

Explore the profound teachings of Ephesians 2 in this week's message, where we uncover the true meaning of life and death from a biblical perspective. Disobedience to God leads to spiritual death, much like King Charles II's tragic medical treatment. Paul explains that living in sin is akin to floating downstream, effortlessly carried by the world's current, leading to death. This condition affects everyone, regardless of religious practices. However, God's extravagant love and mercy offer us a way out. Ephesians 2:4-5 reveals that even though we were dead in our sins, God gave us life through Christ's resurrection. This new life comes with a new identity and purpose, positioning us in a place of honor with Christ. Salvation is a gracious gift from God, not something we can earn. As God's masterpieces, we are created anew to do good works and participate in His perfect plan.

Two paths diverge in a wood. On November 5th, America will decide which it travels by. Some, like Christopher Caldwell, say America 1.0 ended with the passage of the Civil Rights Act. It was here where the freedom of assembly was truly lost, and our path from experiment in liberty to experiment in race communism began.Others, like Curtis Yarvin, will say America 1.0 ended with FDR. It was actually he who turned the government towards diet Communism.Many still will say that the entire appellation is silly because of course America 1.0 ended with the Civil WarAll perspectives are technically right, but in this video I offer a new one. American men still believe in the American system, even if we complain about it a lot. If Trump wins, which I predict he will, we take the blue pill. Democracy, for it's flaws, will have worked. We'll enter a decade long period of great prosperity, for America as a whole, but especially for those of us who have put skin in the game on nationalism and Trump. Based businesses will blow up, straight white dudes will get hired as fancy consultants, right wingers will get important TV deals. We'll all get rich and get laid like never before. It'll be a beautiful decade. Again, I think this is what will happen, and I think we'll find out night of, because Trump will win in too large of a landslide to “fortify.” But if Trump loses, something will happen to the psychology of the American male that has never happened before in the history of country—which is why I call it the real end of America 1.0. If Kamala Harris, deeply unpopular as a national Dem candidate and utterly incompetent as the literal border czar, and thus the overseer of the most pressing and present issue not just in American elections but every recent election in the Western world, is elected president via a freshly fortified voting system (an extreme form of democracy effectively amounting to a click-to-vote) that was overhauled after Trump won, ….well, just imagine if it were literally anything else? Let's take boxing, if an underdog won and then the favorite had the rules of boxing changed so that he won every subsequent rematch…even if those rules would agreed upon and there was no cheating, how would fans of the sport react? Their trust would be destroyed. It would be obviously illegitimate. They would have no choice but to lobby to fix it, or to abandon boxing altogether.In the political sense, this disenfranchisement will lead young men away from the distractions that have plagued us for nearly a century, which is to say towards the more natural statue of being politically engaged. The American male is perhaps the least political young male human in the history of the world. All prior generations for the past several centuries met in coffeeshops and pubs and dedicated their lives toward the formation of political parties and the participation in propaganda. Today's male holds his nose up at these activities, and perhaps, until now, justifiably so…better to focus on starting companies, innovating products, and getting rich. But all that changes if Trump loses. It's no coincidence that the UK is looking into banning “problematic drinking.” What they actually seek is to destroy the ability for young men to meet and plot and form political parties. “Coffeehouse Culture” was the precursor, in many ways, to the Age of Enlightenment that gave birth to America in the first place.“That mixture of news reading, discussion, sharing of ideas [was] absolutely crucial to the rapid spread of the coffeehouse during a period of rapid rise of knowledge,” Hawley explained. It was also the birthplace of periodical literature in England, whereby Hawley said “the coffeehouse was put on paper” in the form of essays. The periodicals Tatler and The Spectator were founded in 1709 and 1711, respectively, through collecting stories from the coffeeshops, which further forged them as the foremost place to learn the latest news.—— However, some thought this open sharing of news and political ideas was a threat to the monarchy. In 1675, King Charles II's ministers attempted to suppress and close down coffeehouses on the grounds of their “evil and dangerous effects”. The king feared that coffee may provoke instigation or the plotting of violence against the throne and ordered the “close of coffee-houses altogether”, although he later withdrew the ban two days before it was to be put into effect, Brian Cowan writes in The Social Life of Coffee: The Emergence of the British Coffeehouse.To be politically engaged is a less pleasant existence, to be sure. It's the red pill path. But it will also be a necessary correction, and will revert us to a more natural, purposeful state of being. Young men are built for power, not for powerpoint. Truly, the young man is purposeless without a hand in the destiny of his civilization. If Kamala wins, the illusions that have kept him uninvolved are broken for good. It's back to the coffeeshop we go.Eric Weinstein masterfully discusses the potential of breaking the spell of “Magician's Choice” here: I talk about this and more in above episode!The Carousel is a reader-supported publication.

Everyone may be familiar with King James For authorizing the KJV of the Bible, but not much beyond that. Many don't know that he was the one who signed the first charters of the 13 Colonies along with his son King Charles I, grandson King Charles II and relative King George I. One of the best kept secrets is that they were all defendants of a Black Nobility bloodline, whose descendants were exiled to the Americas. Many of you are descendants of the exiled and carry their surnames, not the surnames of slave masters. 1608 King James VI / I signed the Virginia Charter. 1611 The King James Bible was published.

In August 1664, an English fleet acting under the orders of James, Duke of York, the brother of King Charles II, materialized off Manhattan and forced the bloodless surrender of New Amsterdam and New Netherland. It is easy - too easy - to conclude that this was inevitable because New England had roughly 17 times the population of New Netherland. It was in fact a foundational move in the construction of the English empire of the 17th century, and the product of the machinations of first cousins in conspiracy with each other: Sir George Downey, the "second" graduate of Harvard College and one of the most devious people in English politics ever, and John Winthrop the Younger, the pious Governor of Connecticut Colony, son of the leader of the Puritan Great Migration, and a stone cold operator of the first order. In the end, Peter Stuyvesant was out of moves.

In March 1663, after 97 years of failed attempts by first the Spanish and then the English to establish settlements in North Carolina, King Charles II granted eight aristocrats a vast territory extending from the coast of today's North and South Carolina to the Pacific Ocean. These eight Lords Proprietor - George, Duke of Albemarle; Edward, Earl of Clarendon; William, Lord Craven; John, Lord Berkeley; Anthony, Lord Ashley; Sir George Carteret; Sir William Berkeley, who was again the governor of Virginia; and Sir John Colleton - would almost unwittingly authorize in their new colony a remarkably free and democratic society of small farmers, rivaled only by Roger Williams' Rhode Island in its respect for individual liberty.

Legend has it that Queen Alexandra influenced the marathon's length to 26.2 miles, a distance that became official in 1921.The 1948 London Games, known as “The Austerity Games,” were the first since World War II and were opened by King George VI.Princess Anne made history as the first British royal to compete in the Olympics in 1976, participating in the equestrian event.

Who was King Charles II? As a controversial new drama-doc portrays him as a brutal avenger of his father's killers, Paul and Miranda go in search of the real Charles. With guest historians Linda Porter and Charlotte White as expert witnesses, we revisit Charles's childhood, his tumultuous experience of Civil War upheavals and years in exile, and his surprisingly conciliatory return to take the throne. Charles II is a larger-than-life figure renowned for his loose living and numerous mistresses. But he was also a champion of the sciences and patron of the arts. Perhaps more than anything else, this most enigmatic of kings was a true political survivor. Linda Porter has published many books on the period including ‘Royal Renegades', about the children of Charles I, and ‘Mistresses' about the women Charles II had relationships with. Charlotte White is an author and podcast presenter who wrote the chapter on Charles II for Iain Dale's recent ‘Kings and Queens' book and is currently writing about Barbara Villiers, Charles II's long-standing mistress. '1666 and All That' is presented by Paul Lay and Miranda Malins. The producer is Hugh Costello. Original music is by George Taylor. The episode was mixed by Sam Gunn.

King Charles II of Spain was GOATed
Revolutionary leader Oliver Cromwell was executed on 30th January, 1661 - despite having been dead for more than two years. His body was exhumed from its tomb in Westminster Abbey on the instruction of King Charles II, who sought retribution for those involved in the trial and execution of his father, Charles I. Along with other Regicides, Cromwell's corpse was disinterred and subjected to public abuse. On the anniversary of Charles I's beheading, Cromwell's head was mounted on a spike and stuck on the roof of Westminster Hall - where it remained for thirty years. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly track the illustrious history of Cromwell's head from that date forth; consider whether the crowd in attendance at the ‘execution' really hated their former Lord Protector as much as their jeering suggests; and explain how the intervention of a future Prime Minister prevented Cromwell's relic being put on public display as recently as the 19th Century… Further Reading: • ‘Oliver Cromwell: Hero or Villain?'

Do you like tea? I love trying different kinds, especially on cold days. Today, we'll talk about the British love for tea. And in a future episode, I'll show you how to make a British-style cup of tea. Hi! I'm Georgiana. Thanks for joining me for another episode of the podcast. My mission is to help you improve your fluency. And if you want to get the transcript, then visit my website: SpeakEnglishpodcast.com/podcast It's completely free! Ok, let's start! Once Upon a Time: Long ago, in the 1600s, tea debuted in the UK. This fancy beverage didn't magically appear; it came from Portugal. Catherine of Braganza, married to King Charles II, really liked tea and introduced this interesting new habit to the UK. Tea for the Elite: In the early days, tea was rare and expensive, like treasure! People kept their tea in special locked boxes called tea caddies. Back then, only people like the king and queen enjoyed it. Afternoon Tea Parties: In the 1700s, tea became more popular, but it was still costly. Then, Anna, the Duchess of Bedford, had a brilliant idea: afternoon tea parties! She invited her friends for tea and snacks in the afternoon, which became a stylish tradition. The Tea Trade: The British East India Company played a huge part in making tea famous in the UK. They established trade relations with China and brought boatloads of tea back. There were even big arguments and fights, like the Opium Wars, over tea and other trading. Tea for Everyone: In the 1800s, tea became more affordable, and people from all walks of life started drinking it. Tea became a daily treat for everyone, including workers and those with a refined taste. A Solution to a Big Problem: In the 1800s, in the UK, many people drank too much alcohol. And it caused a lot of problems. Luckily, some smart people thought tea was a better choice than alcohol. Here's why: Tea was cheaper: Tea cost less than alcohol, so more people could buy it. Easy to find: You could find tea in many places. It was easy to buy. No harmful effects: Tea didn't make you sick or misbehave, like alcohol. Good for friends: People liked to meet and drink tea together. It was fun and didn't make you drunk. Calming: Tea helped people feel calm and relaxed without alcohol. While tea did not solve all alcohol problems, it was healthier and cheaper for many. It went from being an exclusive drink to something everyone loves. And that's the short story of tea time in the UK! Enjoy your next cup of tea! In a future episode, I'll talk about the different types of tea. And I will teach you how to make a proper cup of tea.

In this episode, I'm visiting Bucklers Hard on the Beaulieu estate – just a short distance from Palace House, Beulieu Abbey and the National Motor Museum. The first Earl of Sandwich, the branch of the Montagu family which I married into, is known worldwide because he was head of the Admiralty and brought King Charles II back from exile. But it's now wonderful for me to visit Beaulieu and discover the rich maritime links of another branch of the Montagu family. I'll be meeting with the Hon. Mary Montagu-Scott who has a lifelong passion for the maritime history of Beaulieu and is a keen sailor. Mary shows me the replica timber framed shipwrights workshop which she masterminded. And my husband Luke and I will be cheering on our 17 year old son, William as he and Mary set sail on the Beaulieu river.To find out more about Palace House, Beaulieu: https://www.beaulieu.co.ukPlease support the production of American Viscountess and in particular our high production quality of the Historic Houses by becoming a Patron at https://www.patreon.com/americanviscountessHere you'll received all vlogs and Historic House episodes early and ad-free plus behind-the-scenes videos, American Viscountess merchandise and much more!

After his defeat at Worcester, the young King Charles II is in enemy territory. He has to escape England, all while Oliver Cromwell's troops scour the countryside for him. If he's caught, he will almost certainly be executed like his father. For this episode, I found the following publications particularly useful: Charles Spencer, To Catch a King. Philip Baker, 'The Regicide', in Michael J. Braddick. The Oxford Handbook of the English Revolution Ian Gentles, The English Revolution and the Wars in the Three Kingdoms, 1638-1652.

(Samantha) In the summer of 1678 a defrocked preacher named Titus Oates claimed to have knowledge of a Catholic plot to kill King Charles II and to replace him with his crypto-Catholic brother. At first the story gained no traction, reported as it was by a man of dubious reputation, but when Sir Edmund Berry Godfrey (the man who had first investigated Oates' story) was found dead people started listening. This week we'll lay it all out for you: who was Titus Oats? What's the deal with Godfrey's death? And what happened when people came to believe that there was a plot against Charles?

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for July 31, 2023 is: ancillary AN-suh-lair-ee adjective Ancillary is an adjective used in formal speech and writing as a synonym of supplementary to describe things that provide something additional to a main part or function of something else. Ancillary can also mean "of lower or secondary class or rank." // One ancillary benefit of Beatrice's job at the movie theater is the ability to catch an early glimpse of new releases. // Her job is to oversee the flagship store and its ancillary outlets. See the entry > Examples: "... The Mitre is a gorgeous Grade II-listed boutique hotel, set on the banks of the River Thames. Rebuilt in the mid-18th century, the building dates back to 1665 and was originally used as an ancillary accommodation for guests of King Charles II." — Joanne Shurvell, Forbes, 28 Dec. 2022 Did you know? If you're already familiar with ancillary, pull up a chair and help yourself to a side dish of trivia. The word comes from the Latin word ancilla, meaning "a female servant," which also gave us the rarer English word ancilla, meaning "an aid to achieving or mastering something difficult." While the English ancilla (which made its debut a couple of centuries after ancillary) is unlikely to be encountered except in very specialized contexts (such as philosophy or quantum computing), ancillary picks up on the notion of providing aid or support in a way that supplements something else. In particular, the word often describes something that is in a position of secondary importance, such as the "ancillary products in a company's line."

In today's episode, the guys discuss the English writer, John Bunyan. His most famous book, The Pilgrim's Progress, has been printed 250 million times. He was born in 1668 in Elstow, England. Married at 21, and was brought to Christ through the Christian books his wife brought into their marriage. He recounts the many overwhelming temptations he felt to let go of his faith. Charles Spurgeon was radically impacted by Pilgrim's Progress and quoted it often in his own sermons. In Pilgrim's Progress, Bunyan stresses that no matter who you are, you can exercise faith in God. For anyone listening who has the desire to create, there is an opportunity to reach out into the Heavenly realm and bring back something which displays the glory of God. This same calling which John Bunyan exercised to write his books is still prevalent in our lives today. He wrote 9 books while imprisoned. After four years of being saved and becoming a minister, his sermons began to draw huge crowds. Though he was a very poor man, Bunyan became popular during the restoration of King Charles II, during which time those who would not conform to the church of England were arrested. In January of 1661, Bunyan was thrown into jail with the opportunity to be released if only he stopped his preaching, which he declined. In a stunning reversal, by the age of 59, Bunyan had become one of England's most famous authors. In 1688, while riding through heavy rain to reconcile a father and son, he became ill and died. Much of the greatness Bunyan produced was born out of times of great difficulty and struggle. We are reminded that God has a plan for each of our lives. We must trust in Him and learn to not despise the difficulty He places before us. Then, the guys touch on prayer as one of the most difficult practices of Christians. We are reminded that God is a God who both listens and speaks. In closing, listeners are urged to run to Jesus and be forgiven. Thanks for listening!
