Recently, on Patreon, we've been looking at Russia, and particularly the life and times of Grand Prince Ivan III of Moscow.   To give everyone a taste of this fascinating history, and to hear from someone who really knows a lot about Russian history, we've invited Roberto from Tsar Power to tell us all about Early Modern Russia.   Why must Russian rulers be so ruthless? What makes 19th century Russian novels so rich and fascinating? And what exactly is the difference between a bow and an affectionate bow? Find out all this and more...   Hear more from Roberto on Tsar Power, The History of Saqartvelo Georgia... and Quest for Power!    You can find images and a full bibliography on our website - Episode Information – Tudoriferous Join our Patreon family for yet more episodes and to join our Discord - Tudoriferous | creating a Podcast discussing the great, good and mad Tudor Era | Patreon

Here is a man who thinks that when it comes to marriage you should keep it in the family.  More exploration, more upsetting the good folk of Calicut and an elephant.   Join our Patreon family for yet more episodes and to join our Discord - Tudoriferous | creating a Podcast discussing the great, good and mad Tudor Era | Patreon   Relevant Episodes - Cameo 72 - Vasco da Gama | Tudoriferous Cameo 71 - King Joao II of Portugal. | Tudoriferous

Listener discretion is advised.  Da Gama was a terrible individual who did terrible things.  That said, he's also fascinating.   Join our Patreon family for yet more episodes and to join our Discord - Tudoriferous | creating a Podcast discussing the great, good and mad Tudor Era | Patreon
