Whew. What a couple of stories we’ve gathered for you. Angie shares the delightfully unhinged tale of Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher. This dude (1742-1819) has zero chill and is why Wellington won the Battle of Waterloo.

Theresa must have known what Angie was bringing and matched the unhingedness with her telling of Erasmus of Lueg. This 15th-century knight survived a year-long siege in Predjama Castle and died when he was shot with a cannon while on the toilet. 

This episode pairs well with: 
The Lafitte Pirates
The Battle of New Orleans
