Marco Polo claimed to have spent seventeen years inside the court of the most powerful ruler in the world, travelling across China and the Mongol Empire on missions for Kublai Khan himself. It's one of history's most famous travel stories, and for centuries, serious historians have genuinely argued about whether any of it actually happened.Tonights Sleep History Story is of Marco Polo's journey along the Silk Road, his years inside Kublai Khan's court at Xanadu, the strange and wonderful things he claimed to have witnessed and the return journey that ended with him dictating his account to a cellmate in a Genoese prison.Human Narration is by myself Michael and is delivered in a relaxing, friendly way to help you drift off over some ambient rain soundHope you enjoy itMichaelTime StampsIntro 00:00:00Story Starts 00:01:14Ambient Rain 00:29:00

Henry VIII trusted one man more than almost anyone else at his court, and historians still can't fully agree on what that man did with the power it gave him. This is the story of Sir Anthony Denny, Groom of the Stool and the quiet force behind some of the most consequential moments of Henry VIII's final years.This compressed story covers Denny's interesting rise at the Tudor court, the real danger built into his position (his own predecessor as Groom of the Stool was executed in 1536), the night he broke the law to tell a dying Henry VIII the truth nobody else dared say, and the three days England spent not knowing its king had died. Most of all, it covers the question historians still argue over: was Henry VIII's final will genuinely his own wish, or shaped by the men closest to him in his last, weakened days, men who controlled the only copy of his signature?Hope you enjoy it!MichaelFurther ReadingE.
