Episode description as stored
<p>He's known as one of history's most murderous kings, but was he always a monster? Or was he acting in ways expected of a king during his time.</p>
<p>Joining Anthony as special guest co-host is author and historian Gareth Russell, to explore the theories that support the latter.</p>
<p>Did the break from Rome set him off on a violent spiral? Did a fall from a horse in a jousting tournament really start his descent into darkness?! Or is there just no justifying what he did?</p>
