Hello everyone and welcome to the History of England.

You are probably expecting a comment on the result of the blood of innocent competition

groveling apologies.

I had to record this in advance.

So as you listen to this you can probably go to the website or the Facebook page and

see the result and also on Monday I will try to put out a quick announcement.

I won't, frogmarch any of my family to the shed this time there was universal outrage

at my behaviour.

I have spoken many times of the network I belong to, a Gora podcast network.

This month's featured podcast is Lans of Leviathan, a wide ranging podcast on political

science and international relations.

If you want to find out more, hop along to Lans of Leviathan.com or indeed download

it from iTunes or your normal pod catcher.

Now then this is episode 194, The Wars of the Roses.

The Wars of the What?

I hear you shout.

You made us listen to the better part of 30 episodes on the subject and now you're

saying we're starting again?

Well, I can imagine your outrage gentle listener if that was indeed the case.

But it's not, in fact, very much the reverse.

This week I think it's time for us to lower the curtain on the subject to put it all behind

us, fun as it's been.
