  • The 'Unruly' British Monarchy (with David Mitchell)

    The 'Unruly' British Monarchy (with David Mitchell)
    Nov 19 2024

    Comedian, writer, and actor David Mitchell joins the podcast to discuss his newest book, Unruly: The Ridiculous History of England's Kings and Queens. The book is an overview of the monarchs from King Arthur to Elizabeth I, but it's also a cultural analysis of how the stories we tell ourselves about kings inform who we are. The book is available now in paperback.

    Lorenzino de Medici killed his cousin, the Duke of Florence, 11 years ago. Still, he's constantly looking over his shoulder, worried that justice might come at any moment.

Such an amazing story!

I completely loved the story. I love all of Dana's Noble Blood episodes but this one for some reason really resonated with me. I have only admiration for the Texas princes and will be definitely find out more about her life. Thanks for this amazing episode and for all the others. I enjoyed them very much!
