England’s greatest warrior-king is ready for his close-up. In Season 8 of This Is History: A Dynasty to Die For, acclaimed historian Dan Jones charts the rise of Henry V—a monarch who didn’t just wear the crown, he redefined it.

Was once great, now too many ads to relax and get into the content. Ruins it.
I am in the middle of season 1 and am obsessed! I love how it’s told like a story but is real history. Narrator is interesting and fun to listen to! You have a solid fan here! Can’t wait to keep listening! Don’t ever stop the show!
