The Gallimaufry
Two lovers of the past look at the weird, the wonderful and often overlooked bits of history. Gallimaufry means a confused jumble or collection of things and that basically sums us up. Crafted lovingly in a carpet shop basement. New episodes every month.

He came to the throne later than most but would have a major impact on the development of England, calling himself the "king of the whole of Britain." Was this really the case? Find out in the pod.
