What with listening to @gregjenner.bsky.social host a podcast about run up to British Civil Wars and @battleroyale.bsky.social doing Louis XIII, I'm basically reliving my History A Level about 20 years later. I keep remembering things I made notes about just as someone says key phrases.

This was certainly an interesting one to rate... Do you agree with our verdict? ⚜️⚜️⚜️ #history #france #frenchhistory #historypodcast #17thcentury #frenchmonarchy #kingsoffrance #mariedemedici #bourbon #bourbons #louisxiii #baroque #frenchmonarchy #louisxiv #louvre #versailles #richelieu
