Send Me A Roguish Text Message

High fashion meets highway robbery with the seventeenth century's most lusted-after gentleman thief, Claude Duval.
It's a flamboyantly dressed tale of rampant flirting, lewd piccolo playing and an appalling French accent. 

  • Why was France full of posh Englishmen in the 1650s?
  • How many masked women can visit one man's prison cell?
  • Can you dance provocatively in stiff leather boots?
  • What was the content of the condemned man's secret final speech?

All these questions and more will be answered in episode  41 of Rogues Gallery Uncovered - The podcast of Bad Behaviour in period costume.

Thanks for listening. Stay Roguish!
