This week in our 10th episode, we take a break from the scandalous private life of Henry VIII and instead look at the other ways he was a totally incompetent leader! From having too many guns to having too many weddings to printing fake money, we explore the King's immaculate ability to cause chaos for decades after he will die!! From there, we head down south back to Mainland Europe as France and Germany are about to fight again, but first Charles V has to totally shoot himself in the foot and goes a tad bit...overboard one could say!!
Come with Paul and Nolan as they learn how not to commit forgery, revel in awe of how terrible an emperor could be, and finally as we all learn about the economies of onions and slaves!!
