Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

French and English Revolutions Q&A Part II
Q: Why did the French Revolution encounter such difficult headwinds?
Military crises, hunger crises, and a culture of paranoia and suspicion contributed to the violence and instability of the French Revolution.
French and English Revolutions Q&A Part II
Q: How much influence do you think the British Revolution was on the French?
The overall influence of the English Revolution on the French is probably less than is commonly assumed and much of it is indirect.
French and English Revolutions Q&A Part I
Q: Did Mary Antoinette really say, let them eat cake?
There is no evidence that Marie Antoinette said this phrase; it is attributed to an unnamed French princess and became associated with her long after her death.
French and English Revolutions Q&A Part I
Q: What if both monarchs had been more ruthless?
For Louis XVI, ruthlessness is not his biggest problem; his indecisiveness is more detrimental. For Charles I, it could have made a difference if he had been more ruthless in quelling dissent.
French and English Revolutions Q&A Part I
Q: When you think of Charles I, what are his defining characteristics?
Charles I is viewed as a tyrant with personal characteristics that make him both attractive and flawed; he is cultured, a good family man, but also arrogant and inflexible.
