À propos de cet audio
Colonial Virginia spiraled into chaos after Governor Berkeley’s death. Plans for stability collapsed, and the colony was thrown into turmoil under a carousel of short-lived governors.
Governor Jeffreys clashed bitterly with the Assembly before his sudden death left his widow thrown into debtors’ prison by vengeful lawmakers. Henry Chicheley briefly took the reins, but peace was nowhere in sight.
And over the horizon loomed the most dangerous figure yet: Lord Culpeper—a pampered aristocrat sent from England whose rule promised more upheaval.
This is an immersive story of betrayal, instability, and the seeds of revolution, told with rich narration and relaxing visuals.
