About this listen

A whacky animal movie, in Medieval Europe? Greg and guest Nathan Coles talk about Abul-Abbas, the only elephant in mainland Europe for 1,000 years, a gift from the Abbasid Empire to Charlemagne. Along the way they discuss the "animal craze" of 1990s films, the trip from Bagdad to Aachen, war elephants and much more!
