70 - Henry V (Henri, comte de Chambord)

Born as "the Miracle Child" who saved the royal family from extinction, Henri's abortive 7-day reign as a young boy was followed by a life of exile and uncertainty. We will also get into his mother Madame de Berry's scandalous attempted coup. There's a lot to admire about this guy, but did he really have to die on THAT hill? ⚜️ Visit our website ⁠for episode images, score summaries and more!
