About this episode

The episode discusses Curthose's journey to Rouen and the political climate following events in Caen.

Curthose and his attendants, what remained of them, were rushing as quickly as they could to Rouen… and he was, presumably, crossing his fingers hoping that the people of that city would welcome him. And, honestly, after Caen I’d say it was even odds at best. The post 503 – The Holy Ghosting first appeared on The British History Podcast .
