Well, you've made it. This is the penultimate episode of Season 8 of This Is History,

A Dynasty to Die for. And, well, strap yourself in for a twist. I don't think even Henry

the 5th saw coming. Now, over the centuries, scholars have split hairs over the history

you're about to hear. And remember, at the end of this episode, you can split the

historical hairs with our band of history-loving royal favourites on Patreon. That's a place where

you can delve deeper into the history behind each episode, chat with me and the team, and watch

exclusive videos, like my latest Ask Me Anything.

It's a lot of fun.

I'd love to see you there.

Now, off to France, after this short break.

When I was a little boy in the Middle Ages, I loved window shopping at the market,

the sharp clink of the

blacksmith making the day's most fashionable armour plates. But the next week, the stall disappeared.

I was devastated. If only I had a magic portal to help me retrace my steps. Thankfully, Shopify

does just that. If you've ever found yourself scrolling an online store with that purple

shop button glowing in the corner, that's Shopify. It's an online commerce platform that

makes buying and selling super easy. Shopify gives everyone that extra push to make that final

purchase with one magic button. It saves all of those last minute details, like payment and shipping information,

so you don't have to plug them in every time. So if you want fewer people abandoning your cart,

give Shopify a try. Sign up for your £1 per month trial and start selling today at shopify.com.uk
