Kings

How can you talk about the people of medieval times, if you don’t include the most important people in them, the kings.

We discuss three kings that we all think we know everything about, but few folks actually do. In part because one of history’s most famous writers, turns out not to have been too truthful when he wrote about them. But it isn’t his fault as we’ll see, he just believed all the things everyone said about them and then wrote it down. And that’s why even the one he didn’t write about was still mistreated by those who did write about him.
