概要

Kings ruled empires, commanded armies, and shaped the course of history.

Unfortunately, many of them were complete idiots.

Royal Idiots is a humorous history podcast exploring the most powerful bad decisions ever made by monarchs.

Each episode dives into the lives of famous kings and queens — from crusading warriors to scheming princes — uncovering the drama, betrayals, rebellions, and spectacular blunders that changed history.

Season One explores the legendary (and chaotic) Plantagenet dynasty, including:

  • "Henry the Young King — the king who never ruled"

  • "Richard the Lionheart — the crusader who ignored England"

  • "Geoffrey of Brittany — the forgotten schemer"

  • "King John — the monarch so bad he inspired Magna Carta"

If you enjoy funny history, medieval drama, and royal disasters, this podcast is for you.

Because history isn’t just about great leaders.

Sometimes it’s about royal idiots wearing crowns.
