Season 7 | 5. It’s a Wonderful Parliament
About this episode
The French are preparing for an all mighty invasion. The king doesn’t really seem to care — until the nobles use the parliamentary equivalent of a royal kick up the backside. And, will the French army even get off their coast, or backsides, before the portaloos are full?
If you want to find out more about the last French invasion of England, listen back to This Is History season three, episode twelve, and the accompanying bonus episode.
For this week’s bonus episode, hear about why this parliament was just so wonderful. Find that on our Patreon, where you can also vote on future episodes, share some spicy court gossip with fellow subscribers, and hear from Dan and the rest of the royal council.
