History is full of battles, inventions, and discoveries… but also some of the most ridiculous ways people have managed to meet their end. From kings and commoners to poets and peasants, some exits from this world were so strange they almost sound made up.

In this episode, two amateur historians share some of the most bizarre deaths through the centuries — part cautionary tale, part comedy of errors.

⚠️ Disclaimer: While we keep the tone light and humorous, this episode does discuss death, which may be sensitive for some listeners. Listener discretion is advised.
