For those living in Britain in the early 19th Century a long shadow of religious turmoil lay thick over society. Memories of papist plots, civil wars and the religious roller coaster of succesive Tudor monarchies may have been more than a century in the past but they had dominated the conversaion leading to stigmatisation and the exculsion of Catholicism on a government sanctioned scale. But what, if anything did this mean for the British Army? Catriona Kennedy returns to the podcast the soulsearching, the challenges and the barriers facing Irish Catholics in the British Army.…

Whilst Napoleon lauched his disastrous invasion of Russia, at the other end of the European continent his 'Spanish Ulcer' which was the Peninsular War began to bleed. As the Allies won key victories at Ciudad Rodrigo in January, Badajoz in April and Salamanca in July it opened up an opportunity that had not even been a dream for three years, the liberation of Madrid. Maintaining that liberation would be more challenging than it first appeared. Allied troops marched into Madrid, stayed an Autumn and then left, how were they treated by the locals? Gavin Daly returns to the podcast to discuss all this and more.
