  • More Heads Will Roll: Executions Pt 2
    Apr 21 2025

    You thought the scaffold was silent after last time? Think again.

    In this follow-up to Heads Will Roll, we return to the blood-soaked stage of Tudor justice—where fear was policy and death was performance. This time, we uncover the executions you weren’t taught in school. Forgotten figures. Suppressed trials. Brutal ends that slipped through the cracks of history.

    From abbots hung on the heights of Glastonbury… to rebels, servants, and traitors whose stories were nearly erased—we bring them back.

    These were more than punishments. They were messages. And in Tudor England… messages were carved in flesh.

    🎧 The Lion and the Rose Keep your sword sharp—and your history sharper.

  • The Princes In The Tower
    Mar 30 2025

    Two princes. One tower. No answers. In 1483, Edward V and his younger brother Richard, Duke of York, vanished behind the cold stone walls of the Tower of London—and were never seen again. Was it murder? Political strategy? Or a cover-up that still echoes through history?

    In this episode of The Lion and The Rose, I dive deep into the disappearance that has haunted England for over 500 years. From Richard III’s rise to power, to the chilling theories surrounding Henry VII and the Duke of Buckingham, we leave no stone unturned.

    Was it really as simple as history wants it to be? Or is the truth darker—and closer—than we think?

    🎙️ Join me as we investigate bones in the staircase, royal paranoia, pretenders to the throne, and the cold case that just won’t die.

    ⚠️ Side note: if I sound a bit tired in this one—it’s because I’m still recovering from knee surgery. But nothing keeps me from chasing down royal conspiracies for you.
