There are hundreds of places in Britain named after the Devil, many with their own explanatory folktale.  We look at the question, given that surely the Devil is a very scary concept, why did people make up stories that made him look a fool?

A truly extraordinary story of survival.  They set off for Florida with 610 people and 80 horses, in the end there were just four people and no horses    ...   so maybe survival isn't the word.   Join our Patreon family for yet more episodes -  Tudoriferous | creating a Podcast discussing the great, good and mad Tudor Era | Patreon

Columbus' third and fourth voyages.  Within very few years of finding the Indies, the Spanish are tearing themselves apart.  Columbus has an ignominious journey home followed by a lengthy stay on a paradise island.

Columbus' second voyage.  Please be warned, this is a very sad subject and the episode involves some distressing scenes.  Please make sure you're in the right frame of mind before listening.  We felt that it was important to show the whole grim story.

We now see what happens when Columbus and his men arrive at the Indies and meet the local inhabitants....and I am sure that it is all good!   Join our Patreon family for yet more episodes -  Tudoriferous | creating a Podcast discussing the great, good and mad Tudor Era | Patreon

This is the first of ten episodes on the ramifications of Columbus' voyage. Columbus.  A famous - infamous - name.  A man who splits opinion ... although on this podcast we were unanimous in our opinion of him.  This episode was so long we split it into two. P.S. I later found out why Columbus called the people he met Indians.  Answer in Part Four.   Related Episodes S1 - 007 - John Cabot | Tudori...
