   #3 - KING JOHN

   S1:E36/30/2025

   Bad King John I - the Medieval Monster - was far worse in real life that the fictitious villain of the Robin Hood legend. Even before he was crowned King in 1199, he had a dreadful reputation. This was the Prince who, when he learned that his brother ‘Good King Richard’ the “Lionheart” had been imprisoned on return from crusade, decided to tell people he was dead so that he could rule instead.

   #4 - IVAN THE TERRIBLE

   S1:E47/7/2025

   Tsar Ivan IV Vasilyevich - Ivan the Terrible - was the first grand prince of Moscow from 1533 to 1547 and later ruled as the “Tsar of all Russia” until his death in 1584. Back in the 16th Century when the suffix Terrible was first bestowed on Ivan, it meant ‘awe-inspiring’, ‘powerful’ and ‘formidable’. By the end of his reign, most of his subjects probably felt the word as we understand it today was more apt.
