Historian Dan Jones made the documentary of #medievalcastles in #GreatBritain sound more exciting and intriguing than #DowntonAbbey. I'm not kidding.
This made me more interested in this era that I went online and bought a biography on #QueenElizabethI of England and The Children of #KingHenryVIII, both by Alison Weir. Along with Lives of the Stoics: From Zeno to #MarcusAurelius by Ryan Holiday. Can't wait to read them!

Having Dan Jones walk me through the scandals and secrets of the great castles in Britain in the early centuries made me curious about one topic in particular - the Plantation of Ulster in 1609.
I downloaded the Kindle version of that historic event to read it one day.

Watching The Secrets of Great British Castles narrated and co-written by Dan Jones on Netflix is teaching me more medieval history than my own country ever did.
Downloaded The Wars of the Roses, Essex Dogs, Wolves of Winter, and Powers & Thrones by historian Dan Jones. Coincidentally, I'm also watching The Secrets of Great British Castles which is narrated by Dan Jones 🧐 🤷🏻♀️
