From Touching to Ships: How the Crown Shaped Britain

from The Proper British History Podcast: Kings, Queens, Wars, Empire, Politics, Revolutions, Royalty and the Historical Great Britain · host Podily

This episode follows three strands of British history: how medieval monarchs used the royal touch to project divine healing, an 18th‑century naval engagement off India that illustrates the reach of British maritime power, and the early kings who laid political foundations for England. Each thread shows a different facet of the crown’s influence on politics, war, and identity. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
