Welcome to Episode 2 of our series on the fight for the throne of England. This week we are discussing the life and rule of King Stephen I. Stephen of Blois was born into privilege and was, partly, raised by Henry I in England. He was also one of the wealthiest landowners in England at the time. During Henry's reign Stephen swore oaths to Matilda as Henry's successor. However, when Henry died, Stephen was the first to cross to London and take the crown. He ruled for almost 20 years, but he rarely saw a moment of peace. Join us we cover Stephen's life, rule, family, wars and death.

Fight For the Throne: Matilda Vs Stephen: Part 1
Hey there History Fans! We're back and starting our new year with a bang of a series. What happens when the King of England dies and has no male heirs? He tries to pass it to his daughter- or hopes that it would. In the 1100s there was an 18 yearlong feud between Empress Matilda and her cousin, Stephen, for the right to rule England. On the first part we are covering the life of Empress Matilda, from her first marriage to a Holy Roman Emperor, to her second marriage into the House of Plantagenet. We also discuss her relationship with her father, Henry I, as well as her children, the nobles of England and the English clergy.

Vlad Tepes: From Dracul to Dracula
On our last episode for Halloween, we are covering the Grandaddy of all Spooks: Vlad Tepes! His childhood was unusual as he spent it as a hostage in a Sultan's court. After being released he vowed to reclaim his throne and fight against the Turks. In total he would regain his throne 3 times. Along the way he implemented fear tactics and severe punishments; his favorite being impalement. No one was excluded from his path of destruction. During his lifetime poems, ballads and rumors were created about him. Since the publication of Dracula in the 1890s his legacy has grown to include being synonymous with vampires and the undead.
Disclaimer: This episode discusses themes of torture, maiming and impalement. This episode is not intended for children and listener discretion is advised.
