Why did the lords of Pamplona prefer paying tribute to Muslim Córdoba over submitting to the Franks? And how did the empire built by Charlemagne begin to fracture? In episode 32 I’ll tell you a story of shifting loyalties in Vasconia and the Carolingian world.

Today one of the last anarchists of the old era died. In the 1960s Octavio Alberola attempted to assassinate Franco to restore democracy in Spain and kidnapped a diplomat to commute the death sentence of a comrade. A true anti-fascist fighter. Rest in peace

@fhp.bsky.social hey Gary, I'm going to publish an episode on the Carolingian Empire, so I thought you may want to do a promo (less than one minute) since it is related to French history.
