Welcome to the dark corridors of history.

Every kingdom is built on a foundation of bone. Every crown is bought with a currency of blood. We often look at monarchs through the safe, polished lens of museum exhibits. But if you strip away the gold leaf and the royal portraits, you are left with the raw, jagged truth of how power is actually won.

This is the story of a throne that never stopped bleeding.

In today’s episode, we look back at the violent past that forged an empire, where brothers slaughtered brothers, and the soil drank the ambition of tyrants.

Pull up a chair. Turn down the lights.

This is The Bleeding Throne.
