Welcome to Passed. The podcast about those who would never rule. I discuss the almost kings and queens of history.
If your brother has imprisoned you to steal you kingdom, or your uncle has usurped your throne using accent property law then you will probably feature on this show.
Please join me to find out about these fascinating people who are often little know to most.

The sons of Suleiman the Magnificent, part one. Welcome back, this week I begin the story of two of the sons of Suleiman the Magnificent. For this episode I will be covering a lot of Suleiman's life first, since it is the overarching narrative of this story. I will cover two of his sons, Mustafa and Bayezid in the next two weeks.

Welcome to the episode about a Cardinal who almost became a king. Charles, Cardinal de Bourbon is the younger brother of our last subject, Antoine de Bourbon. These two brothers were rather different men. He was far less active than his older or younger brother, but his life had an equally big impact. I hope you'll join me for this episode.

Welcome to my 2023 Christmas Special. This year I'll be covering a very special event that occurred on the 25th of December, 1066. This event, the crowing of William of Normandy as king of England, is a bit different than the event that I covered last year, the crowning of Charlemagne.

This week you will get to head me read the entirety of Martin Luther's Ninety-Five Theses. I though it would be good to share the ideas that motivated a great deal of what the Wars of Religion in France encompass.
On a more personal note, I have taken a break from recording for the last few weeks due to the death of my father. I do discuss that at the start of this episode. I will be in the US for a few weeks, during this time I won't be able to record, but I will continue reading and writing. Thank you in advance for you understanding of this break. This whole thing has been a shock and I am struggling, but I have plenty of help and I will recover.

Welcome to this fortnight's This Too Shall Passed, where I cover Parlements of France. While it may look like I'm spelling things wrong, which is entirely possible, this is one of the branches of government in France, at least at the time.

Welcome to a new miniseries. This will be spanning a huge time period and I'll be using it as an excuse to cover Salic Law and its impacts in a bit more detail. I'll be looking at three men whose fathers and brother's weren't kings, but whose sons were. Well, technically one was a king, but jure uxoris (meaning by the right of his wife). In addition I will also cover one woman who came the closest to ending Salic Law for royal succession. This first episode is a lot of genealogy, but worth it. I'm including detailed family trees on social media.

Generational names are something that have always been an interest of mine. It was something lovely to hear while I was teaching in Korea and something I thought I'd share with you.

Welcome to my fourth mini-series, this one will be properly mini, in that it only covers one subject, at least on the main feed. This first episode will give you a little look at the world our subject, Crown Prince Sado, lived in. This is the first series to take place outside of Europe, and I'm really looking forward to it. Korea is a place near and dear to me, and I'm really happy to have to chance to share a bit of it's history with you all.

I'll be avoiding anything this big for a while. I do hope though, that you'll enjoy this episode. Don't worry, I'll be back in a few weeks with the next mini-series. There's a question and answer portion for the second half of the episode, so I hope you'll all stay for that. I'm looking forward to doing more of these in the future!

Welcome to the first of four episodes covering the life of Lady Margaret Beaufort, a patron of the arts, learning, and a devoutly religious woman who also happened to be the mother of Henry VII. Yes, my goal is to cover Margaret, not as an appendage to the men in her life, but as her own person. I hope you'll join me for this episode where I discuss her early life up to her marriage to Owen Tudor, the father of her only child.
There is a trigger warning attached to this episode for suicide. It isn't discussed in great detail, but I feel it's important to bring up at 12:45 please skip ahead one minute if this is a subject you're not comfortable hearing discussed. If you are struggling with this topic please reach out to the organisations listed below or contact your healthcare provider. This is something that has sadly touched mine and many lives and it's not something I take lightly.

This week Richard will be his end and we will finish this long-than-expected subject. I think Richard is one of the more surprising Passed I've covered thus far. I like that he's more nuanced than expected and his story has cemented my decision to seek out different sources for each subject. He is a person who we'll never have a final answer for, but his story is fascinating.

A new This Too Shall Passed about Proximity of Blood, an option for passing inheritance that uses relation to the most recent previous holder of a title or land. It gets a bit complicated, but I hope this episode helps explain this practice.

I hope you're ready for the start of an amazing story, one that gets mentioned a lot, but I rarely told in full. This will be the first of four parts on Richard, 3rd Duke of York. Yes, FOUR! I knew this subject would be huge, but I didn't even realise how much I'd want to share about him and the events surrounding his almost-reign.
Richard was the only surviving son of Richard Conisbourgh, Earl of Cambridge (the younger son of Edmund of Langley) and Anne, Mortimer (the great-granddaughter of Lionel of Antwerp). His life is a fascinating lens into the events that will cause the Wars of the Roses.
I hope you enjoy!

Attainder, one of those words that comes up a lot in period pieces with next to no explanation of what it actually means. In this week's This Too Shall Passed, I take the time to explain this concept.

This week I'm joined by Ines and Andre from Cork Out History Podcast to discuss the life of Philippa of Lancaster, John of Gaunt's oldest daughter and the wife of John I of Portugal.

This week's episode is: John of Gaunt, Part 1. John of Gaunt was the third surviving son of Edward III, in his time he was accused of wanting to usurp his nephew, Richard II, but as you'll learn through the next few episodes he was a complex man. Highly educated, politically astute and fiercely loyal to his family, his story is one that I've really enjoyed working on. I hope you'll join me for this episode!

This week: Lionel of Antwerp and the Entail of Edward III. Probably the least well-known of Edward III’s surviving sons. Lionel tried to rule Ireland on his father’s behalf. Tried is the operative word. While his life wasn’t a huge story, the lives of his daughter and descendants will play a huge role in the Wars of the Roses. I discuss Edward III’s entail, which excluded the descendants of Lionel, not that it stopped any of them from trying or succeeding at claiming the throne.

For more than 300 years the French crown was passed from father to son. In 1316 this record came to an end. In this series I look at four women who might have been queen regnant of France, but we passed over in favour of a male. This series tells the story of these women, Joan II of Navarre, Joan III of Burgundy, Blanche of France, and Isabella of France, and explains the reasons they would never rule.
This series is a great pre-cursor to my next series, which starts those passed over during the Hundred Years War.
