Knights and Intrigue: The Tales of the Second Crusade

The Pithy Chronicle

Saddle up for a historical escapade as we, Caroline and Erika, regale you with the lesser-known sagas of the Second Crusade, peppered with our trademark wit and a dollop of cheek. Step into the time machine of your imagination, because we’re whisking you away to the 12th century—a time of knights, conquests, and yes, a dash of family drama akin to the modern soap opera. Our episode uncorks the tale of Eleanor and Louis on their crusading journey, with a side of intrigue featuring a rather dashing uncle—our affectionately termed "Hunkle."
Get ready to chuckle and gasp as we paint the vibrant historical canvas of Edessa, the city whose fall set the crusade into motion three years later. You'll feel like you're right there in the hustle and bustle of the medieval world, amidst the clanking armor and chivalrous quests that feel oh-so-romantic yet were anything but. We’re serving up the story with our special blend of sarcasm, ensuring that your history lesson is anything but dry. Join us for an episode that promises to be as enlightening as it is entertaining, without any of the dusty cobwebs you might associate with ancient chronicles.
