The History of England

121 Counter Revolution

After Richard had broken the revolt in London at Smithfield it was time to tackle the chaos outside London. The Counter Revolution took something between 1,500-7,000 judicial executions, and did nothing to solve the breaches in a divided society. Also this week, a look at the state of the nation of the medieval English church, as we approach the story of John Wyclif and the Lollards.  <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheHistoryOfEngland?a=w90-ZCccgh4:asfpOwCc27Q:yIl2AUoC8zA"></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheHistoryOfEngland?a=w90-ZCccgh4:asfpOwCc27Q:63t7Ie-LG7Y"></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheHistoryOfEngland?a=w90-ZCccgh4:asfpOwCc27Q:qj6IDK7rITs"> Hosted on Acast.

This my retelling of the story of England, which is a regular, chronological podcast, starting from the end of Roman Britain. There are as many of the great events I can squeeze in, of course, but I also try to keep an eye on how people lived, their language, what was important to them, the forces that shaped their lives and destinies, that sort of thing.
