What are YOU looking at! - George "Fighting" Fitzgerald 1786

About this episode

Be provoked beyond reason by 18th century Ireland's most quarrelsome and violent bully boy - George "Fighting" Fitzgerald. 
Its a short tempered tale of animal disguise, head trauma, gratuitous musketry and good old fashioned insanity.

  • What did Fitzgerald do to his father - twice!?
  • How did he stand when facing an armed opponent?
  • Should you  avoid him on a narrow street?
  • Why should you not try and seduce his female travelling companion?

All these questions will be answered in episode 33 of Rogues Gallery Uncovered - The podcast of Bad Behaviour in Period Costume.

 A duellist, rebel and one of the most controversial figures in Irish history, he lived a life of scandal and violence among the Irish gentry. When he wasn’t duelling he was starting feuds, gambling and arguably murdering. If you like historic true crime with a hint of weirdness, buckle up for this episode.
