11. The Mad King - The Assassination of Shaka, King of Zulu

In the baking heat of the South African sun, a warband trembles before an oncoming horde of Zulu warriors armed with new, devastating weapons of war. As they clash head on with their foe, the warband soon realises that two more hordes have flanked either side of them, cutting off all hope of retreat. And as his brothers fall one by one all around him, one warrior looks up to see a figure atop a hill looking down upon the battle - a king who would carve a bloody trail across South Africa in his pursuit of conquest.In this episode of the Cloak and Dagger Podcast, we explore the rise to power, bloody reign and eventual downfall of one of history's most infamous conquerors - Shake, King of the Zulu.Music:Positive Fat Bass Intro Loop by WinnieTheMoogLink: https://filmmusic.io/song/6093-positive-fat-bass-intro-loopLicense: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license
