Podcasts about Walter Raleigh

Sir Richard Grenville (1542-91) Walter Raleigh’s cousin, was a celebrated Elizabethan Sea Dog—an informal name bestowed upon English privateers who were authorised by Queen Elizabeth I to raid England's enemies, even during times of peace. Carrying letters of marque issued by the English Crown, the Sea Dogs frequently attacked both enemy shipping at sea and enemy outposts on land... frequently targeting the Spanish in North American waters and ports.

One of the most notable figures of the Elizabethan era, Sir Walter Raleigh (1552-1618) played a leading part in English colonization of America and helped defend England against the Spanish Armada. He was an English statesman, author, soldier, explorer, and a favorite courtier of England's Tudor Queen, Elizabeth the First. He was the younger half-brother of American explorer Sir Humphrey Gilbert and a cousin of adventurer Sir Richard Grenville. In 1594, Raleigh heard of a "City of Gold" in the New World and sailed across the Atlantic Ocean to find it, publishing an account of his experiences in a book that contributed to the legend of "El Dorado". In 1595, Raleigh’s quest for the New World’s fabled ‘City of Gold’ led him on an exciting adventure in search of the legendary and mythical golden city of El Dorado.

El Dorado, más que un lugar, encarna la obsesión humana por la riqueza y el poder. Originado en rituales muiscas donde un líder cubierto de oro ofrecía tesoros al lago Guatavita, este mito inspiró expediciones que atravesaban selvas y ríos. Exploradores como Walter Raleigh dedicaron años a buscarlo, convencidos de su existencia en el Amazonas. Sin embargo, El Dorado nunca fue hallado, dejando un legado de exploración y de misterio que continúa fascinando a historiadores hasta nuestros días. Y descubre otras civilizaciones perdidas en la nueva serie ‘Tesoros Perdidos de Angkor: el antiguo Laos al descubierto'. ¿A quién pertenecía este tesoro? ¿Fue robado?

Hoy os traigo a Pedro de Zubiaur, un español tan olvidado como fascinante. Diplomático, espía y almirante. Pedro derrotó a finales del siglo XVI a Drake, Hawkins, Walter Raleigh y otros marinos ingleses en cuatro batallas navales, aparte de saquear la costa de Inglaterra. También rescató a muchos cautivos españoles que habían sido hecho prisioneros tras el fracaso de la Armada de Felipe II. Un personaje cuya vida daría para una película.

Walter Raleigh remains one of the most famous figures of the late-Tudor and early-Stuart period. His life epitomised Elizabethan energy and ambition - though many of his grand schemes ended in failure. Raleigh was a soldier, sailor, courtier, writer, politician, explorer, and colonist. Depending on who you ask, he was also a pirate and traitor, or a patriot and hero. So how did this perplexing figure rise from comparatively humble beginnings to become one of Queen Elizabeth's favourites? Did he embark on overseas adventures for the sake of his nation, or for his own gain? And should we consider him an enlightened imperialist, or a man who oppressed and exploited indigenous communities? This is a Short History Of….Walter Raleigh.

From Tudor to Stuart: The Regime Change from Elizabeth I to James I (Oxford UP, 2024) tells the story of the troubled accession of England's first Scottish king and the transition from the age of the Tudors to the age of the Stuarts at the dawn of the seventeenth century. From Tudor to Stuart: The Regime Change from Elizabeth I to James I tells the story of the dramatic accession and first decade of the reign of James I and the transition from the Elizabethan to the Jacobean era, using a huge range of sources, from state papers and letters to drama, masques, poetry, and a host of material objects. The Virgin Queen was a hard act to follow for a Scottish newcomer who faced a host of problems in his first years as king: not only the ghost of his predecessor and her legacy but also unrest in Ireland, serious questions about his legitimacy on the English throne, and even plots to remove him (most famously the Gunpowder Plot of 1605). Contrary to traditional assumptions, James's accession was by no means a smooth one. The really important question about James's reign, of course, is the extent of change that occurred in national political life and royal policies. Sue Doran also examines how far the establishment of a new Stuart dynasty resulted in fresh personnel at the centre of power, and the alterations in monarchical institutions and shifts in political culture and governmental policies that occurred. Here the book offers a fresh look at James and his wife Anna, suggesting a new interpretation of their characters and qualities. But the Jacobean era was not just about James and his wife, and Regime Change includes a host of historical figures, many of whom will be familiar to readers: whether Walter Raleigh, Robert Cecil, or the Scots who filled James's inner court. The inside story of the Jacobean court also brings to life the wider politics and national events of the early seventeenth century, including the Gunpowder Plot, the establishment of Jamestown in Virginia, the Plantations in Ulster, the growing royal struggle with parliament, and the doomed attempt to bring about union with Scotland.

Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007) centers on the plot to assassinate Queen Elizabeth I of England, the arrest and execution of Mary, Queen of Scots (Elizabeth's cousin), and King Phillip II of Spain's attempt to topple Elizabeth and install a Catholic monarch on the English throne, which culminates in England's defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588. The film also portrays the complex emotional triangle involving Elizabeth, the English statemen, soldier, and explorer Sir Walter Raleigh, and Elizabeth's lady-in-waiting, Beth Throckmorton, whom Raleigh marries and has a child with. (The film depicts Elizabeth as enamored with Raleigh). Directed by Shekhar Kapur, from a script by William Nicholson and Michael Hirst, the film is a sequel to Kapur's Elizabeth (1998). The cast includes Cate Blanchett (Queen Elizabeth I), Clive Owen (Walter Raleigh), Geoffrey Rush (Elizabeth's spymaster Sir Francis Walsingham), Samantha Morton (Mary, Queen of Scots); Abbie Cornish (Beth Throckmorton); and Jordi Mollà (Phillip II of Spain). In addition to dramatizing this critical and memorable period of English history (albeit with some notable historical inaccuracies), the film provides a window into important and timely legal issues around torture, trial for matters of state, and piracy in Tudor England.  I'm joined by Alka Pradhan, a leading human rights attorney, adjunct professor at the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School, and Tudor history buff.

Sir Walter Raleigh remains one of the most famous men of the Elizabethan era. He was a true Renaissance man - a statesman, soldier, writer, explorer and a favourite of Queen Elizabeth I.  In 1594, Raleigh heard about the legendary golden city of El Dorado and, the following year, explored what is now Guyana and eastern Venezuela in search of it.  In his account of the expedition, Raleigh made exaggerated claims as to what had been discovered, contributing to the enduring El Dorado legend, and his own celebrity. In this episode of Not Just the Tudors, first released in May 2022, Professor Suzannah Lipscomb talks to writer and historian Mathew Lyons about Raleigh, his dream of finding El Dorado, and the epic scale of his failure.This episode was produced by Rob Weinberg.Enjoy unlimited access to award-winning original documentaries that are released weekly and AD-FREE podcasts.

Embark on an enchanting voyage through time with Dr. Katrina Marchant, whose expertise in early modern literature and drama offers a unique vantage point into the world of handbags and their societal significance. In our latest episode, we unravel the intricate tapestry of fashion history, tracing the handbag from its humble beginnings to its crowning as an icon of style and status. Join us as we reveal the unexpected ways in which these accessories reflect our collective aspirations, and how they've been shaped by the practical needs of bygone eras. From the discreetly carried items of historical attire to the ostentatious displays of the elite, Dr. Marchant guides us through the fascinating anthropology of the fashion accessory we thought we knew.Prepare to be captivated by the British royalty tales of characters like Walter Raleigh and Bess Throckmorton, whose personal stories intertwine with the evolution of handbags in a way that history books often overlook. We explore the steadfast designs that have endured since medieval times, ponder the peculiar legacy of Raleigh's widow, and even entertain the possibility that the codpiece was the original secure storage solution. The conversation takes a vivid turn as we recount the existence of a red velvet bag with goldwork, linking us directly to the past's tangible reminders of love, loss, and the curious artifacts we carry.As we probe the impact of royalty on fashion trends, the ever-graceful Queen Elizabeth II comes into the spotlight. Her seemingly timeless choices in handbags have set the bar for what is classic and chic, raising questions about the power of royal endorsement and its legacy.

Rerun. Sir Walter Raleigh brought tobacco back to Britain from Virginia on 27th July 1586 - and, in so doing, triggered a craze for smoking, which at the time was considered a tonic for halitosis, and even a cure for cancer. Despite Queen Elizabeth I being an advocate for the new drug, it didn't take long for the anti-tobacco movement to kick into gear - with King James I writing a treatise against smoking by 1604. In this episode, Olly, Rebecca and Arion revisit the phenomenon of ‘Dry Drunkenness'; explain why Eton's schoolboys were prescribed tobacco with their breakfast; and reveal what happened to Raleigh's head after he was executed… Further Reading: • Bob Newhart's Walter Raleigh sketch (1962): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XDxAzVEbN4 • ‘“This vile custome”: a history of tobacco's medical interpretations' (Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh): https://www.rcpe.ac.uk/heritage/vile-custome-history-tobaccos-medical-interpretations • ‘Discovery of velvet bag may solve gory mystery of Walter Raleigh's missing head' (The Guardian, 2018): https://www.theguardian.com/education/2018/oct/28/walter-raleigh-bag-severed-head-gory-mystery ‘Why am I hearing a rerun?'

1492 marked the beginning of the Colombian Exchange - the transfer of people, goods, ideas and commodities across the Atlantic between Europe and the Americas. We hear a lot about the conquistadors, the settlers, Jesuit priests and colonisers from Spain, Portugal and Britain whose success in the 'New World' was built on the help and enslavement of indigenous people. But what of the indigenous peoples who made the journey in the opposite direction? Many travelled to Europe, some as slaves, others as courtiers, diplomats and even tourists.Author and Britain's only Aztec historian Caroline Dodds Pennock joins Dan to tell the stories of the Maya who first brought chocolate to the court of Isabella and Ferdinand, the Algonquin diplomats who travelled with Walter Raleigh and took residence in Elizabethan London and the Brazilian King who stopped by Hampton Court palace to see Henry VIII.Caroline's new book is called 'On Savage Shores: How Indigenous Americans Discovered Europe'Produced by Mariana Des Forges and edited by Dougal Patmore.If you'd like to learn more, we have hundreds of history documentaries, ad-free podcasts and audiobooks at History Hit - subscribe to History Hit today!Download the History Hit app from the Google Play store.Download the History Hit app from the Apple Store.

Sir Walter Raleigh (1552-1618) was an English statesman, author, soldier, explorer, and a favorite courtier of England's Tudor Queen, Elizabeth the First. One of the most notable figures of the Elizabethan era, he played a leading part in English colonization of North America and helped defend England against the Spanish Armada. He was the younger half-brother of North American explorer Sir Humphrey Gilbert and a cousin of adventurer Sir Richard Grenville. In 1594, Raleigh heard of a "City of Gold" in the New World and sailed across the Atlantic Ocean to find it, publishing an account of his experiences in a book that contributed to the legend of "El Dorado".

"'the barbarians have made me welcome'"

Sir Richard Grenville (1542-91) Walter Raleigh's cousin, was a celebrated Elizabethan Sea Dog—an informal name bestowed upon English privateers who were authorised by Queen Elizabeth I to raid England's enemies, even during times of peace. Carrying letters of marque issued by the English Crown, the Sea Dogs frequently attacked both enemy shipping at sea and enemy outposts on land... frequently targeting the Spanish in North American waters and ports.

Comedian Brandon Hackett is here for the story of Walter Raleigh, namesake of Raleigh, North Carolina: a great explorer, so we’re told, but really – did he get a single thing right? Or was he really famous because Queen Elizabeth I had the hots for him?

Sir Walter Raleigh remains one of the enduring names from the Elizabethan era. He was a true Renaissance man - a statesman, soldier, writer, explorer and a favourite of Queen Elizabeth I. In 1594, Raleigh heard about the legendary golden city of El Dorado and the following year, explored what is now Guyana and eastern Venezuela in search of it. In his account of the expedition The Discovery of Guiana, Raleigh made exaggerated claims as to what had been discovered, contributing to the enduring El Dorado legend, and his own celebrity. In this episode of Not Just the Tudors, Professor Suzannah Lipscomb talks to writer and historian Mathew Lyons about Raleigh, his dream of finding El Dorado, and the epic scale of his failure.Keep up to date with everything early modern, from Henry VIII to the Sistine Chapel with our Tudor Tuesday newsletter >If you would like to learn more about history, we have hundreds of history documentaries, ad-free podcasts and audiobooks at History Hit >To download, go to Android > or Apple store > See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Milli Vanilli, Marilyn Monroe and Henry VI are amongst the people pored over in this preview of Olly's new comedy-history podcast series 'The Retrospectors' put together especially for Answer Me This! listeners. You can find the show at podfollow.com/Retrospectors In each daily ten-minute episode, Olly and his co-hosts Rebecca and Arion look back at a curious moment from that day in history. Previous topics have included the birth of Ladybird books, Walter Raleigh bringing tobacco to Britain, and the launch of the board-game Twister. In this special compilation, Olly introduces three of his favourite episodes of the show so far:  • In 'Marilyn's Birthday Surprise', the team look back to 19th May 1962, when Marilyn Monroe delivered her breathy, flirtatious rendition of ‘Happy Birthday' to JFK, and columnist Dorothy Kilgallen remarked, 'it seemed like Marilyn was making love to the President in front of 40 million Americans.'  • Then, in 'The Death of Kissing', they look back to 16th July, 1439, when Henry VI issued a decree imploring his citizens to stop kissing his ring, to hold back the spread of the bubonic plague - a deadly disease that had been rampant for a century. • Finally, in 'The Outing of Milli Vanilli', it's time to journey back to 21st July, 1989 - the day German pop duo Milli Vanilli first exposed a shameful secret: their vocals were sung by someone else.

The year is 1566. Pedro Menéndez de Avilés has founded St. Augustine and ejected the French from Florida. In this episode, we are going to look at the next Spanish moves in the region, all of which were designed to secure Spain's treasure fleets and interdict French and English incursions into North America. These include Pedro Menendez's exploration of Florida proper, which we will only touch upon, the expeditions of Juan Pardo into the Carolinas and Tennessee from 1566 to 1568, and the catastrophic failure of a Jesuit mission to the entrance of the Chesapeake Bay, not far from the future site of Jamestown.  None of these succeeded, but they provoked England's anxiety and fueled her ambitions, which in turn catalyzed Francis Drake's almost unbelievable mission of 1577 to 1580, Walter Raleigh's failed colony at Roanoke Island on the Outer Banks in 1587, and even the settlement at Jamestown in 1607.  It all ties together! #VastEarlyAmerica https://subscribebyemail.com/thehistoryoftheamericans.com/?feed=podcast References for this episode Gonzalo Solís de Merás (Author), David Arbesú (Translator), Pedro Menéndez de Avilés and the Conquest of Florida: A New Manuscript Anna Brickhouse, The Unsettlement of America: Translation, Interpretation, and the Story of Don Luis de Velasco Chester B.

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ http://www.bastabugie.it/it/articoli.php?id=6652LA MONARCHIA INGLESE HA SEMPRE AVUTO PROBLEMI CON LE DONNE di Rino CammilleriLa monarchia inglese ha sempre avuto qualche problema con le donne. Enrico II il Plantageneto ne ebbe con sua moglie, Eleonora d'Aquitania, la quale gli portò in dote mezza Francia e la cosa fu all'origine della Guerra dei Cent'Anni. Quest'ultima fu risolta da una donna, santa Giovanna d'Arco, ma a sfavore degli inglesi. Quell'Enrico litigò con la Chiesa, e finì con l'assassinio del primate san Thomas Becket.Sei Enrichi dopo, l'VIII della serie meritò da papa Leone X il titolo di Defensor Fidei (che poi Paolo III, per via dello scisma, gli ritirò; e che ancora i re inglesi portano, ma a difesa dell'anglicanesimo) per aver difeso la fede cattolica contro Lutero. E pure lui era sposato con una gran donna, Caterina d'Aragona, che ripudiò per l'insignificante Anne Boleyn di cui si era invaghito (per lei scrisse una bellissima canzone, Greensleeves, ancora oggi eseguita). Qualcuno gli fece notare che non c'era bisogno di divorziare per farsi l'amante, ma lui voleva un figlio maschio e Caterina gli aveva dato solo Mary.Forse credeva che, avendo meritato come Defensor Fidei, il papa avrebbe chiuso un occhio e accettato la gabola della consanguineità (tutte le teste coronate sono in qualche modo parenti, e per forza di cose). Ma Caterina era zia dell'imperatore Carlo V, che era molto più Defensor Fidei di Enrico, visto che combatteva contro i protestanti e i musulmani. Così, il papa, tra l'incudine e il martello, scelse la giustizia. Ed Enrico si scatenò, imitando il predecessore II col trucidare un altro san Thomas di rilievo, il More, dando il via a un'ecatombe di cattolici che andò avanti per un paio di secoli. Ma con le donne continuò a sbagliare, impalmandone altre quattro di seguito e mandandole quasi tutte al patibolo. Il figlio maschio lo ebbe, ma questo durò poco e, ironia della sorte, fu giocoforza dare il trono a una donna, sua figlia Elisabetta I.Questa avrebbe potuto sposare chi voleva, soprattutto Filippo II di Spagna, ma quest'ultimo era ancora più Defensor Fidei del padre, e si opposero i nobili inglesi che dalla nazionalizzazione dei beni della Chiesa avevano tratto gran profitto. Per giunta, c'era una rivale, un'altra donna: Mary Stuart, figlia della sorella di suo padre, erede legittima perché Elisabetta era figlia di Anne Boleyn. Così, Elisabetta fece quel che neanche il padre aveva osato: processare e condannare a morte una regina unta dal Signore. A quel punto restava un'ultima cosa da sradicare negli inglesi, il culto della Vergine (l'Inghilterra si considerava il regno più mariano della Cristianità: Mary Dowry, «Dote di Maria»). E al di Lei posto mise se stessa, la Regina Vergine (nel senso di nubile), tanto che il suo corsaro preferito, Walter Raleigh, chiamò Virginia in suo onore la colonia americana che fondò. Ma anche lei dovette capitolare, perché tutti moriamo. E lasciare la poltrona proprio al figlio di Maria Stuarda: non c'erano altri.Non ci soffermiamo sui problemi di coppia degli altri regnanti inglesi, perché il gossip in tal senso è applicabile a tutte le teste coronate di ogni tempo. Ma la monarchia inglese è speciale perché è quella che, partendo da un'isola defilata, è riuscita a creare l'impero più esteso di tutti i tempi. E l'Impero Britannico fu inaugurato da un'altra donna, Victoria, che diede addirittura il suo nome a un'epoca e uno stile quantunque a occuparsi di politica fossero altri, soprattutto Disraeli. Lei si limitò a fare un sacco di figli, che maritò con mezza Europa (anche il Kaiser era suo nipote). Fu solo sfiorata dal caso di Jack lo Squartatore, che per molti ancora oggi andava ricercato nella famiglia reale britannica.Ma poi inventarono il cinema e i rotocalchi, e i riflettori si accesero su Edoardo VIII, che pur di sposare Wallis Simpson, una divorziata americana, rinunciò al trono. Anche a lui fecero notare che non c'era bisogno di abdicare se voleva convivere more uxorio con l'americana, purché in modo discreto. Niente, come Enrico VIII, voleva un matrimonio in piena regola. Così, il trono andò a suo fratello Giorgio VI, padre dell'attuale regina. La quale pare l'unica con la testa sulle spalle di tutta la real casata. Sua sorella Margaret volle sposare un fotografo. Dei figli di Elisabetta II, Carlo, Andrea, Anna e Edoardo, solo quest'ultimo non ha divorziato, e per le relative vicende basta andare in Internet. Adesso tocca a Meghan, ed è il turno dei nipoti. God save the Queen.

In the 16th century, Queen Elizabeth the First of England was locked in a battle for global dominance with Spain. She picked her favorite advisor, Walter Raleigh, to claim land in North America. In the coming years, Raleigh's men made several voyages and explored the area known as the Outer Banks, in what is now North Carolina. There, they identified one island as a promising site for a future colony: Roanoke.But as relations with the area's indigenous people soured, and a drought brought famine to the region, England's first attempts to establish a permanent base on Roanoke ended in failure. Still, the Queen knew that success on the new continent was key to her empire. Soon, she would send 117 men, women, and children to establish a permanent colony in the New World. But none of them could possibly imagine the hardships that lay ahead.Listen to new episodes 1 week early and to all episodes ad free with Wondery+.

Ubicadas en una posición estratégica en el mismo corazón del océano Atlántico a caballo entre tres continentes, las islas Canarias se convirtieron desde el descubrimiento de América en un punto de paso obligado de la flota de Indias en la ruta que comunicaba el puerto de Sevilla con el emporio americano. El archipiélago, conquistado por los españoles a lo largo del siglo XV, tuvo que resistir durante cientos de años numerosos ataques piráticos patrocinados por las potencias europeas de la época y por los Estados berberiscos del norte de África. Los principales piratas de los siglos XVI y XVII, corsarios como los británicos Francis Drake, John Hawkins o Walter Raleigh, franceses como Jean Fleury o François Le Clerc, y holandeses como Pieter van der Does atacaron las Canarias sembrando el terror entre la población de diferentes islas. Eso obligó a la corona española a tomarse en serio la protección de su archipiélago más preciado y, sin duda, del más estratégico de todos. Los sucesivos monarcas ordenaron fortificar las islas y convertir a algunos de sus puertos como Santa Cruz de Tenerife en plazas prácticamente inexpugnables desde el mar tal y como pudo comprobar el contralmirante Horatio Nelson en 1797 cuando trató de apoderarse de la isla. El inglés perdió el brazo y la Royal Navy toda esperanza de hacerse con Tenerife. Pero los piratas no sólo atacaban los puertos insulares, a menudo se limitaban a merodear en alta mar cerca de las Canarias como manadas de lobos en espera de que alguna flota española mal defendida proveniente de América cargada de tesoros enfilase el tramo final de su viaje antes de embocar el río Guadalquivir. Ese triángulo formado por las Canarias, Madeira y las Azores se transformó en un lugar infestado de piratas de todas las nacionalidades, también piratas españoles como Amaro Pargo, un canario con patente de corso concedida por Felipe V de España para que limpiase el Atlántico de corsarios ingleses y holandeses hostiles al comercio español. De Amaro Pargo y otros muchos piratas que hicieron de las aguas de Canarias un campo de batalla de todas las potencias europeas vamos a hablar hoy en La ContraHistoria. Lo vamos a hacer de la mano de Carlos Pérez Simancas, un gomero de armas tomar que conoce a fondo esta historia de piratas que en nada tiene que envidiar a la del Caribe.

And right as it seemeth to us that they be under us, right so it seemeth to them that we be under them.'   Hello, welcome to the History and Folklore podcast, where we look at different folk beliefs through history and how these beliefs shape people's perceptions of nature. Today we're looking at historical maps and the strange creatures and the mythical races found within them. This is a huge subject, so I am only going to be able to really give an overview of the subject, but am happy to make more indepth episodes on any of the different topics if there is any interest.   I find this topic really fascinating as maps, despite what we like to tell ourselves, very rarely show the world how it actually is. Instead they are excellent sources to show us the preconceptions, assumptions and prejudices of the map maker and the society the map is made in.    It has also been claimed that maps can affect the perception of people who view the map. We like to tell ourselves that maps are entirely neutral records of landscapes and settlements but this is not entirely true. Even today there are issues with our world map that are believed to affect  the way we see the world. The most well-known example is the Mercator Projection, invented in 1569 as a way of displaying a globe on a 2D surface. Because of the way the projection works, countries at the top are distorted to become larger, while those closer to the equator appear smaller. The creator of this method, Gerardus Mercator, also chose to orientate the map with North at the top, which is the way we still orientate maps today. It has been argued that, while this map is useful for navigation, the location and relatively large size of northern countries gives them a more prominent place in the mind of the viewer.   While there is still a lot of discussion as to whether this is actually true, it is clear that maps have traditionally been used as a means of communicating ideas and values to the viewer. The earliest maps that survive today depict very local places that highlight sites of interest. There were no real conventions in cartography yet and so the layout and orientation of these maps was pretty much all over the place.    While it seems normal and obvious to us, it is only really quite recently in human history that maps have been oriented with North at the top. In Europe, East was often placed as the highest point as in early Christian tradition heaven was located in the east. This is an idea that was likely borrowed from ancient Jewish traditions which saw the east as a particularly holy direction. Likewise, South was often seen as a desirable direction as it was associated with warmer, more hospitable weather. North, on the other hand, was considered a dark and sinister direction.   Ancient Egyptians also tended to orientate maps with east at the top, as this is the direction in which the sun rises. Early Islamic cartographers often placed south at the top of the map, as these mapmakers often resided in countries that were north of Mecca and they envisioned they were looking up towards it when they prayed. In Ancient China, compasses were oriented to point south, which was considered a more desirable direction as it was believed to be where the winds came from. However, maps in ancient China tended to place north at the top as the Emperor resided in the north of the country and the people were expected to look towards him. So it appears that there is a tendency among people everywhere to place that which they consider the most important at the top or centre of the image.    The oldest surviving world map is the Imago Mundi, which was created between 500-700 BCE in a town called Sippar in Iraq. This map placed Babylon in the centre, as this was probably the most important city to the map maker. The Euphrates is also shown and circles surround Babylon to show other cities and districts, including Assyria, Der and Habban. These cities are surrounded by a circular ‘bitter river' in which other districts are located. These represent the unknown or unexplored world, and are labelled with descriptions such as ‘where shamash (the sun deity) is not seen, reflecting the belief that the sun does not pass through the northern lands. The map is accompanied by accounts of Babylonian myths, written in conform script, with the corresponding locations in which they happened.    Early medieval maps are remarkably similar in design to the Imago Mundi. Known as TO maps, they show the world as a round disc. Inside this disc the known world is split into three segments, with the East orientated at the top. Asia fills up the top half of the circle, and is separated from Europe in the bottom left quarter and Africa in the bottom right quarter by a river that starts as the Don or Tanais in the left and turns into the Nile half way through. Europe and Africa are separated by the meditteranean sea, depicted as a line that meets the rivers at the half way point to make a T shape. The rivers and continents are surrounded by a circle of sea, the O of the TO map.    It is unclear where this style of map originated from. Similarities can be drawn with the Imago Mundi, but some historians think that they may originate in the Ancient Greece or Rome. Others argue that they probably have a Judaic origin, due to the habit of labelling each continent in association with one of Noah's sons - Asia often has the label of Shem, Africa is labelled with Ham and Europe tagged with Japhet.    TO maps are only concerned with recording areas of the world that were known to be habitable. Maps that showed all habitable and uninhabitable land on the globe were portrayed in a different way, based on the subdivision of the world created by Ptolemy in the second century and built on by Macrobius in the fifth century. In this, the world was divided into five latitudinal zones that varied in climate. The poles were the two frigid zones and considered to be too cold to sustain life. The fiery zone was located at the equator and was too hot to sustain life. Between these two extremes were the temperate zones, which were both theoretically habitable although it was believed that the southern temperate zone was uninhabited by humans.    The subdivision of the world in this way was still being used as late as the fifteenth century. It was also used as the basis for maps created by influential Islamic geographers and cartographers, such as al-Muqaddasi and al-Biruni, who developed this technique and further broke the inhabited world down into seven climes, which differed by half an hour each. These cartographers also believed that only the northern part of the world was inhabited and was separated by the rest of the globe by inhospitable climates that could not be crossed by humans. Islamic scholar Abu Rayhan al-Biruni claimed that the ‘sea separates the inhabitable world from whatever continents or inhabitable islands there may be beyond it, both towards West and East; for it is not navigable on account of the darkness of the air and the thickness of the water.'   This method of dividing the world was used in what was the most influential map of its time, the Tabulana Rogeriana, translated in English as the ‘Book of Roger', which proves that everything sounds more impressive in Latin. This was created by Muhammad al-Idrisi in 1154 for King Roger II of Siciliy in a book containing 70 smaller regional maps which, when put together, created a huge rectangular map of the world. This incredibly detailed map was broken down into seven different climatic zones and ten geographical sections. As well as this al-Idrisi was able to calculate the circumference of the globe within ten percent of its actual size. To achieve this, al-Idrisi poured over Arabic, Latin and Classical records, as well as conducting extensive interviews with contemporary travellers, endeavouring to dismiss the fantastical and include only what could be corroborated or proven. While this technique was not foolproof, and popular mythical elements such as the islands of Gog and Magog were still included, it was by far the most accurate world map of its day, and was used and distributed for three hundred years after its creation.   Despite the creation and popularity of the Book of Roger, new maps continued to be made and distributed. One of the most well-known today is the Hereford Mappa Mundi, which was created around the year 1300. This was created at a time when European maps were becoming more complex, showing serrated coastlines and individual islands. Despite these details, it still keeps the early ‘TO' format with Asia at the top, Europe on the bottom left and Africa on the bottom right. Christ sits above the world, looking over God's creation, and paradise and the garden of Eden can be found just below him. Jerusalem sits prominently in the centre of the inhabited world.    As well recording existing cities and landscape elements we would expect to see on modern maps, the Hereford Mappa Mundi also depicts stories from the bible such as Eden, Noah's Ark and the Tower of Babel, all located in the top half of the map, as well as stories from Classical Greece and Rome. The columns of Hercules, the golden fleece and the labyrinth can all be seen on the map. This reflects a method of map making that leaned more towards symbolism than accuracy. The purpose of maps such as this was not to create an accurate geographical record to assist travellers. They were instead created the greatness and expanse of God's creation and the viewers place within it spatially, culturally, temporally and spiritually. Medieval maps were created to measure time and culture as well as space.    For this reason the anomalies in early maps can give a real insight into the mindset, worldview and values of the time. We already know that places like Eden and the Minotaur's labyrinth were placed on maps due to their spiritual, cultural and historical importance. But some other elements are less easily explained. Strange islands and creatures pepper the seas and the margins of early maps.    Sometimes these were recorded through simple error, especially non-existant islands and land formations. Other times weather conditions such as low forming clouds could appear to sailors as an island, which would later be recorded on maps. Anomalies were sometimes included on purpose as a type of copyright protection. If an incorrect detail was found on a different map, the original cartographer would know they had been plagiarised.    I think the most amusing incidents were when islands were included on a whim. In 1659 Peter Helyn recorded a story about the explorer Pedro Sarmiento when he was captured by Walter Raleigh. Raleigh asked him about a particular island that was depicted on one of his maps, which Raleigh had never seen but which may have had some tactical advantage to him. Sarmiento explained that that island was known as ‘painters island' because when the painter was drawing the map, his wife asked him to add an island for her, so that in her imagination she could have an island of her own. A really lovely story, but not very helpful to people trying to actually navigate.   I think that the monsters and so called monstrous races that were recorded in maps, bestiaries and encyclopedias of the time are even more interesting than mysterious island stories as they raise so many questions about medieval assumptions of the foreign, otherness and humanity itself.    Strange creatures were also often believed to be found in far flung lands. Dragons fought elephants in India, hyenas mimicked and ate humans in Africa, leopards were the ferocious offspring of lions and pards and birds the colour of fire and with razor sharp wings soar through the air in Asia. These creatures all give an impression of foriegn countries as strange and dangerous places to be, as though the further you get from the known world the more fantastic and deadly nature becomes, a reflection of understandable anxieties and real dangers involved in travel during this period.    Probably the most fascinating are the so called ‘monstrous races' that are depicted on the edges of world maps, reflecting their perceived status as being just on the edge of civilisation.  Many of these races were taken from the writings of Pliny the Elder and were even further embellished over the years by explorers and traders, missionaries and pilgrims who would come back with tales of the strange lands, creatures and people they had seen on their travels.  Monstrous races that were commonly recorded included the Blemmyes, a warlike people found in Africa, notable in that they had no head but whos faces were instead located on their torso. Sciapods could be found in India. They had only one leg which they would use to hop about, and would use their one giant foot to shade them from the sun. Panotti had long ears that they used to wrap around themselves to keep warm at night. The Astomis were found by the Ganges river, they had no mouths but gained nourishment through pleasant smells. The cynocephalli were humans with the heads of dogs that were widely recorded from Scandinavia to Syria to India. In some accounts they were depicted as bloodthirsty fighters, while other writers claimed they were relatively shy and kept to themselves in peaceful communities.    While some believe that these people were solely the creation of overactive imaginations and tall tales spun by travellers, others think that there may have been a grain of truth in the stories, filtered through the perceptions of reporters trying to understand what they saw through the filter of a very ethnocentric worldview. For example, the Sciapods may have simply been people practicing yoga, lifting their feet above their heads as though to shade from the sun. While the true origins of these stories is not known, the fact that the stories exist at all raise a lot of interesting insights into the medieval European worldview.   There was a fair amount of contemporary discussion as to whether any of these races could be considered human, or whether they were closer to animals. This debate was based on the medieval Christian worldview that God created three different types of living spirit. Angels, which are not bound to a physical body, humans which are bound to a physical body but do not die with it and animals, which are bound to a physical body and who die with the body. It was believed that what separated humans from animals was their rationality. The issue then lay in defining and identifying rationality in the behaviour of the monstrous races.    The answer to this question had practical as well as theological implications. In the ninth century a missionary in Scandinavia wrote to a monk named Ratramnus asking whether he should preach to the dog headed people in order to win human souls for Christ, or whether it would be wasted effort, akin to trying to convert mice or birds. Ratramnus responded by stating that the dog heads should be viewed as human. He claimed that while certain elements of their behaviour, such as their barking speech, pointed more towards the animal, other behavioural aspects placed them firmly in the realms of the human. The fact they covered themselves with clothes showed they had a sense of shame and decency. They could farm and make tools and, according to Ratramnus, ‘knowledge of technical skills is granted only to the rational soul.' The main point in their favour though was that they lived in communities and therefore had laws and were able to create and keep to the rules of society.   Personally I find Ratramnus' answer unstatisying when looking at perceptions of other mythical creatures. Trolls, for example, were considered different from humans as they were not Christians and were, in fact, often believed to be angels that had remained neutral in the war between God and Satan and so fell to earth. Trolls could be killed and it was not believed that they had the promise of eternal life, as humans did. However, like other hidden people, they were portrayed as rational, they lived in societies that mimicked humans, wore clothes and used tools. It was not rationality or mortality, but lack of Chritian belief and immortal soul that separated the trolls from humans or angels, but Ratramnus made no suggestion of this possibility for the cynocephalli.   During the twelfth century Europe and Asia became linked in a way that it had never been before, largely due to the expansion of the Mongol Empire that spanned from Korea to Persia, Poland to Vietnam. This overarching administration facilitated merchants trading across borders and was also a tempting target for Christian missionaries, as the Mongols were not originally Muslim and appeared to be widely accepting of Christianity - employing Asian Christians as advisors and administrators.   As such a greater number of Europeans than ever before began travelling to places that they previously had either non-existent or very weak contact with. You may think that as explorers, traders and missionaries came to be more familiar with distant lands, and as travellers from across Asia came to be a more familiar sight in European cities, that medieval Europeans would quickly realise that the monstrous races on maps and monsters in bestiaries did not exist. In some cases doubt did begin to creep in. In 1253 William of Rubruck recalled a conversation he had with a group of Mogul people during his travels in India saying ‘I asked about the monsters or monstrous humans but they had never seen such beings, wherefore we wonder very much whether it were true.'   But belief in monsters and monstrous races was surprisingly tenacious amongst the general population. This was partly because returning travellers could not resist telling fantastic tales of ferocious and strange beasts to impress people back home. However, even when travellers wanted to present a more realistic view of the world their efforts could be undermined. Marco Polo's Travels, for example, was published in 1298 and presented a fairly subdued and down to earth picture of Asia that was somewhat sabotaged by illustrators who added monsters and wonders to the margins, likely trying to meet the expectations of the readers.   In other cases, when monsters were not found where they were expected to be, it was sometimes assumed that they did exist but their location had been recorded wrong. As European travellers became more familiar with the wider world the monstrous races were pushed further, always pushed the edges of the known world, and those that were once believed to reside in India were later thought to reside in the habitable southern hemisphere, where humans did not live. An early example of this was the Panotti people with long ears. Around 43 CE Roman writer Pomponius Mela claimed they lived on the Orkney islands. When the Orkney islands became part of the civilised world they were recorded as living in Scythia and later, when Scythia was no longer considered particularly distant, it was believed that they resided in southern Asia.    It is probable that the belief in monstrous races reflects a need in people to create a recognised ‘other' against which they can define themselves. Through these stories, they were able to explore what it meant to be civilised, what it meant to be human and understand and define their place in the world.    It is also apparent that this belief in strange and monstrous races was not just limited to Europeans. John de Marignollis  travelled extensively through China and India in the 1330s. Although he was originally sent by the Pope he extended his travels in order to search for the monstrous races he had heard about. He wrote ‘I travelled through all the provinces of India with great curiosity. . . never was I able to track down such peoples in the world in reality; instead people asked me whether there were such creatures.'    As well as giving the impression that medieval Asia was filled with people wandering round asking each other if they knew where the dog-heads were, de-Marignollis statement, and the quote from John Mandeville at the beginning of this episode, suggests that people around the world created their own kinds of strange and monstrous people, living in far away lands. I think it is likely that such stories were important in helping people strengthen their identity at a time of increased travel and exploration. Through these tales people could examine who they were, who belonged to their group, who were outside it and why. They could even be used to examine what it meant to be human at all.    Thank you for listening to this episode of the History and Folklore podcast. I hope you enjoyed it and found it interesting.

Colin Pearce presents: 'G.I.DEON: The successes of a reluctant entrepreneur' I've given this presentation to countless audiences at business conferences, youth camps, teacher conventions, retail convention dinners, family church services, both in Australia and the USA. It is an adaptable story, always delivered in – I confess – my wacky narrative style – ridiculous in parts – generally inspiring faith and the enthusiastic pursuit of purpose in the hearers. On this occasion, I'm speaking to one of my largest audiences; 7,500 members of the IDA group members at the Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne. You can tell they loved it. You should too. I was having a great time. You see, the presentation captures the fundamentals of human endeavour where people are involved. Many of us suffer from imposter syndrome. The man in this story did. He had no idea people would follow him at the start. Then he experienced sudden growth. Then he lost 90% of his audience/followers. He, like many people (maybe you as well as me) often expect large numbers and a big following to bring us through to fame riches and glory. We hear of people with 1,000 Facebook followers of 10,000 or 100,000 and think we will never come to anything unless we push hard for that kind of number ourselves. The story illustrates that working with a select audience – a contained following – using a clear strategy, will give us a very satisfactory result. Sure, you can cite Alexander the Great, Artaxerxes, Augustus Caesar, Christopher Columbus, Walter Raleigh, Henry Ford, the Rockerfellers, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and other mass leaders and marketers who had (or have) millions of followers and customers. They are there in your history books. I know. But consider this: there have been 108 billion of us since the year dot and only a few hundred have reached that mega status. A few hundred - maybe a few thousand. About a poofteenth of a percent. You might be the next one, but the facts and the mathematics show us that the other 107,999,998,021 of us, are, and will only be legends in our own life-times at best and we need to work out how to get to that status at least. So listen to hear how Divine help, a bit of faith, a small crew and a simple plan worked out for a run-of-the-mill farm boy – and will probably satisfy your expectation for life too.

"O paradosso! Il nero è l'emblema dell'Inferno, il color delle carceri, la scuola della notte, il cimiero del bello tocca invece a un bel cielo" in questo verso di Shakespeare si cela uno dei misteri dell'Inghilterra Elisabettiana: la Scuola della Notte. Scuola di ateismo (o forse anarchia), società segreta composta da corsari, avventurieri, maghi, filosofi e artisti, da Walter Raleigh a Christopher Marlowe.

Walter Raleigh è stato un membro di spicco dei Sea Dogs, i corsari elisabettiani, ma anche un filosofo, un artista, un alchimista e un avventuriero. Le sue imprese sono legate a molti misteri, da Roanoke a El Dorado, ma anche nel losco mondo dello spionaggio e delle società segrete, delle scuole misteriche di ateismo e anarchia.

Välkommen till "Film till fikat"! Där vi varje vecka diskuterar en ny film vi sett, på ett lättsamt sätt till en fika i glada vänners lag. I detta specialavsnitt tittar vi närmare på inte en, utan två filmer! Detta är inte allt, vi gästas idag av Anders och Ante ifrån den eminenta Kungpodden! Filmerna vi kommer ta en närmare historisk inblick på idag är Elizabeth från 1998 & Elizabeth the golden age från 2007. Director: Shekhar Kapur Stars: Cate Blanchett, Geoffrey Rush, Clive Owen Handlingar: Elizabeth 1998: England 1554. Henry VIII är död. Nationen är delad av hat - katoliker mot protestanter. Henrys äldsta dotter Mary, despotisk katolik, är drottning och styr nationen med järnhand. Men hon är barnlös och katolikernas största fruktan är tronföljden av Marys protestantiska halvsyster - Elizabeth. När Mary dör besannas deras farhågor och Elizabeth kommer till makten. Nationen står nu inför ett makt- och religionsskifte präglat av falskspel, förräderi och mord. En farlig och omvälvande tid där förutsättningen för att klara sig är enkel: Fullständig makt kräver fullständig lojalitet... Historiskt drama som förärades hela 7 Oscarsnomineringar! Elizabeth the golden age 2007: Berättelsen om en kvinnas korståg för att kontrollera kärleken, försvara sitt imperium och säkra sin ställning som älskad ikon i västvärlden.

La vida de Walter Raleigh le llevó a librarse en dos ocasiones de pasar por manos del verdugo. Hasta que hizo algo que no gustó nada al monarca Jaime I de Inglaterra y VI de Escocia, que tomó cartas en el asunto

It had been a century of national preparation. It had started as a general vision with Henry VII, It was honed and expanded in scope by Henry VIII, against a recognized threat from France. It was put to the ultimate test by Elizabeth against her recognized threat, Spain. Against the backdrop of the Reformation, the emergence of the Nation State, the beginnings of European Colonization around the world, and the interactions and intermarriages between Europe's leading monarchies, the English throne built not only an elaborate system of land defense against invasion, they reinvented the concept of naval warfare. Nationalizing a permanent navy, and rethinking what a navy should be used for. Not so much the traditional grappling and troop transport, but repelling an invasion through speed, skill, and distance shelling. The event remembered as The Spanish Armada still captures the imagination to this day. We have traced the origins and provocations that lead to the Armada. Now it's time to expand the narrative to include the actual destruction of the Spanish fleet. The question above and beyond the poor planning of the invasion by Spain, is a matter of degrees as to whether the Armada was defeated by England (which it was, soundly), or simply disintegrated as time went by...In this episode we leave the Henrys (all five from our larger narrative), and the Marys (three from the narrative) behind and focus on the rise of men like John Hawkins, Francis Drake, and Walter Raleigh. With all the events, heroes, and villains, Elizabeth still emerges as the catalyst and cauterizing figure of the age. Audio Production by Podsworth Media.

In the very first episode of Myth and Moor we talk about our interest in Dartmoor, the supernatural and focus on some crazy tales from Francis Drake, Walter Raleigh and a cast of strange and mysterious characters.

Born on 13th July 1527 to Roland and Jane Dee, John Dee became an immensely influential figure within the Elizabethan world. If Dee had lived at a time other than the turbulent period that spanned the Tudor and Stuart monarchies in England, then it is very likely that we would now acknowledge him as one the greatest minds England ever produced. Dee’s peers acknowledged his skills as a philosopher, astronomer, scientist, cartographer, and mathematician and - further observed that he was as skilled in medicine as any other of the period. Dee’s pursuit of knowledge, in all forms and from all sources, was true to the great philosophical enquiries of antiquity, yet it went beyond the limits which others deemed appropriate in an age of superstition, during the prime period of the witch-hunts in continental Europe – with England on the cusp of its own pandemic of such witch-hunts. That Dee openly embraced the occult arts of Hermetic philosophy, Qabalah, alchemy, and angelic dialogue have been used to discredit his genius and legacy by both his peers and those that succeeded him. His work within the field of occult philosophy reveals however that that Dee was the prominent exponent of Hermeticism in England and it is to Dee that we can trace the origins of the Victorian revival of Hermetic magic in for of The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, Aleister Crowley and the later work of Israel Regardie. Dee was also the major influence for the development of the Rosicrucian movement that in turn influenced early speculative Freemasonry and the founding of the United States of America.Join Ansir & Sophia as they discuss, as briefly as is possible for such an immense life and body of work, the genius of the man -- John Dee.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/InquirersintotheStrange)
