Adam Jackson takes a dive into world history, exploring topics such as the Crusades; the number of people to hold presidential office before Donald Trump; the major city in South America that temporarily became the Portuguese capital in 1808 during the Napoleonic Wars; odd sports at the 1908 Summer Olympics in London; the antipodean colony of Van Diemen's Land; King Henry VIII's sixth wife; the fate of a nineteenth century Japanese playing card manufacturer; a city state that broke away from Malaysia in 1965; a possible conflict between the British Empire and the United States triggered by a very naughty pig; and the haunting last words of an English monarch.
