A Goodly Sum – The Renaissance #240
About this episode
The episode discusses a royal edict from the King of France blaming lepers for poisoning wells while conveniently ignoring the Jews who had recently paid him a large sum of money.
The King of France issues a royal edict blaming the lepers for poisoning the wells…. conveniently leaving out the Jews, who had just paid him 150,000 livres – roughly a third of the entire royal annual revenue. Pure coincidence. We also get a forged letter from the future, a secret room full of incriminating ram-skin, and a dragon that God apparently sent to signal it was time to murder somebody.
