Episode notes
A Chapter in two halves… firstly the story of the 8th Crusade, and how Edward I of England was to find himself in the Middle East; fighting off assassins, avoiding winter storms and furious at everyone seemingly all the damn time. But it’s also the story of one of THE biggest political arguments in London’s long history; two men claim to be mayor. One has the support of the people. The other? The Oligarchs. And with a dying King, who will prevail? Let’s find out in the tale of the years leading up to the coronation of Edward I.
