S1 Ep. 5 - George Villiers: The Dancer That Stole England

Season 1 Episode 5

Welcome!

This week, we discuss George Villiers, the lover of King James I of England. In this outrageous episode, we discuss the famous Gunpowder Plot of 1605 (if you've seen V for Vendetta, you're already ahead), rich boy issues and mommy problems, and, of course, a female serial killer from Hungary. So strap in as we tell stories that sometimes redefine history. Enjoy!
