Summary

Here we are! In our first installment of what will be a rather considerable project - we unpack the war which raged between 1672-1678, but which began in fascinating circumstances and came to involve everything on the continent. Here we look at an unlikely starting point for the narrative: the Earl of Clarendon, Charles II's longtime minister and friend. Clarendon would come to encapsulate this new era, where old statesmen would be left behind, and the ambitions of new officials (and monarchs) would redefine where Europe went next. Let's investigate!Remember history friends, you can help this podcast and ensure that this is where history thrives!

0:57.5	we are doing a roundtable discussion on the piece of Westphalia, purely because I'm that
1:02.5	influential. Everyone thought it would be a good idea to go back to 1648 and see what else we
