We are your hosts, self-proclaimed European Lore masters, Scott & Michael. Our quest is to rate & review all the European Monarchs from the collapse of the Western Roman Empire to World War I.
WARNING: This is not your grandfather’s history! Be prepared for spicy affairs, brutal bloodbaths, shocking betrayals, horrible decisions, devious religious leaders, puppet kings, and so many assassinations.
Get pulled back in time to witness the power struggles between rival factions, empires, kingdoms, and families as they battle, marry, assassinate, ally, and betray each other for power, glory, and the royal crown.
Chlothar of House Merovingian, the First of his Name, Kinslayer, King of Incest, King of Soissons, King of Orleans, King of the Eastern Franks, King of Paris, King of the Burgundians, King of all the Franks.
Welcome to the epic finale of the battle royale for dominance over the Frankish Empire! Being the youngest son of Clovis, Chlothar had an uphill battle against his brothers. Witness how far he will go to achieve supreme power. Hear about a runaway queen, literal sister-wives, a horrific way to punish your rebellious child, and a marriage which was so repulsive that the church got involved.

Childebert, the First of his Name, Kinslayer, Relic Hunter, King of Paris, King of Orléans, Co-King of Burgundy
If you have been paying attention to the past few episodes, this is not a happy story. Hear how Childebert ruthlessly orchestrates the murder of two children for land and power. You decide whether or not he had a hand in the death of another close family member.
