Chapter 87- The lamentable death of Constantine FitzAnulf (1219-1225)

The Story of London by Saul

Episode notes

We kick off Book 4 with the story of a man executed for supposedly having a fight over a wrestling match… but his death could well have been the result of the chaotic aftermath of the recent Civil War. An episode about why Westminster started growing, a massive expansion of the Tower of London, the arrival of new orders of monks to London, and how the symbol of one of the men mentioned in this episode is seen on the streets of London to this day.
