This week Theresa kicks it off with the first Black samurai, Yasuke, in feudal Japan. This story has it all. It features Oda Nobunaga, the warlord who unified the country, Jesuit priests, and an African who becomes a samurai.

Angie covers Henry VIII’s thorn in his side, Mother Shipton. She is a soothsayer and prophetess. And at every turn, she’s annoying the king.

What a pairing…

This episode pairs well with:
Miyamoto Musashi
Lady Mary Howard
