In honour of #WomensHistoryMonth, we're spotlighting 2 hotels impacted and inspired by women.
Incoming turd bomb of the highest order! Dr Sandbrook is a history-shitter of the dirtiest kind. White cock & balls empire-loving diarrhoea sprayed down the toilet bowl of the past. Sit back and admire the stench! Flies all over this podcast!
Just recorded an absolutely epic new @TheRestHistory series, beginning next week - the controversial story of Christopher Columbus and the first European voyages to the New World. Four episodes of narrative and debate. Don't miss it!
Delicious #HistoryShit here. Knows nothing about the period, hasn’t read the book, but puts his faith in the perspective of a 20th century specialist who left academia under the cloud of plagiarism accusations. Keep squeezing out these stinking history logs, white men!
So many ‘so-called’ historians squeezing out some hefty History Shit this week. Laying down some mighty knee-jerk tread in the toilet bowl of historical discourse. Impressed they can lay these logs whilst simultaneously beating their empire-engorged meat. Old white dudes rock!
This is exactly the kind of shit history that I’m all about. Absolutely honking with flies buzzing round and everything. Love it. *vomits into own hands*
On this day in history in 1431, the English burned Joan of Arc’s steak at Rouen. Thankfully this is a rare occurrence nowadays. #OTDIH
Like what I said, but less translatable to TV.

On this day in 1642, Charles I attempted to raise standards in Nottingham. And so began the Great English War of Civility. #OTDIH
On this day in 1415, Henry the Navigator woke up to find himself 8 years in the future. Pursued by scientists & the authorities, he had a goofy coming-of-age adventure with an alien spaceship called Max, before leading Portuguese forces to victory at the Battle of Ceuta. #OTDIH
On this day in AD 14, the Emperor Augustus had his only biological grandson murdered Postumusly. #OTDIH
The first mention of the town was as "Lucteburne" in the 1086 Domesday Book, named after its Saxon tenant-in-chief who was widely considered to have led a particularly charmed life.

On this day in history in 1208, King Eric X of Sweden was the Greatest Man in history, and the very first X-Man in recorded history. #OTDIH #GreatestManInHistory
On this day in history, someone gave my collapsing veins a real history hit.

On this day in 1185, Thessalonica was sacked by the Normans. Left with 3rd and long on their 17 yard line, the Byzantine Empire replaced quarterback Andronikos I Komnenos with Isaac II Angelos, who quickly drove into the Norman’s end zone for a decisive touchdown. #OTDIH
On this day in 851, Erispoe, Duke of Brittany, defeated Charles the Bald, King of West Francia, at the Battle of Jengaland. The battle was in the balance for much of the day, before Charles overreached himself and the Frankish army collapsed. #OTDIH

#OTD in 2001 Canadian post-grunge beige-rockers Nickelback released their single ‘How You Remind Me’, the 4th best-selling song of the decade. It was - quite literally - the day the music died.
I do hope @BBC6Music are aware of this important date in history.
On this day in 1821, the crew of the ship Eliza Frances discovered Jarvis Island. Captain Brown noted in his journal that the land was inhabited by nothing but palm trees and Cocker-nuts. #OTDIH
