The British History Podcast
Summary: The BHP is a chronological retelling of the history of Britain with a particular focus upon the lives of the people. You won’t find a dry recounting of dates and battles here, but instead you’ll learn about who these people were and how their desires, fears, and flaws shaped the scope of this island at the edge of the world. And some of those desires are downright scandalous. Click subscribe to view all the episodes.

23 – We’re In Between Emperors at the Moment
Things are changing rather quickly on our little island. (History of Britain, History of England, History of Wales, History of Scotland, Celtic History, Roman History) So the Gallic Empire has been defeated and now Britannia was back within the folds of Rome. That was probably more than a little disheartening for the Romano-British. Once again, its rulers were on the other side of the world rather than just on the other side of the channel. The Romano-British were probably getting used to having the attention of Emperor Postumus. After all, Britannia was almost certainly the little jewel in his empire considering how stable and prosperous it was. And now he was dead and the empire was gone.... and they were going to get neglected once again. Support the Show

21 – The Dim Ages – Part 1
Someone turn on the light! (History of Britain, History of England, History of Wales, History of Scotland, Celtic History, Roman History) Alright, we are entering the third century. And as we enter it, we cannot help but have the feeling that a profound change has come to the Roman Empire. We will see run away inflation, military insurrection, nearly constant regicide, tyranny, and simultaneous war on both the east and west. Rome is deeply in trouble. Support the Show

Ok, this one is pretty heavy on Roman intrigue. But it's necessary to get us to the all the fun stuff in the next one. And besides, while much of what occurs in this episode is on the continent, it is still heavily influenced by the legions in Britannia. So it still counts as British History, right?
