- Not so boring history!
Not so boring history! Excellent storytelling over multiple chapters, covering everything Medieval (focus on France). Gently Sleep inducing while simultaneously interesting. Covers an assortment of esoteric and mundane aspects of Medieval History - all new to me. A fun listen.
