About this ebook

John Randolph, known as John Randolph of Roanoke, represented Virginia in the House of Representatives and the Senate, and once famously stated, “I am an aristocrat. I love liberty; I hate equality.” Ideal for history buffs, Henry Adams’s biography of this prominent politician examines Randolph’s tumultuous career and disdainfully covers his preference for Jeffersonian policies rather than the Federalist politics of Adams’s own ancestors.

Episode 13 - Rogerios Rex: In the Spring of 1133 the new Norman Kingdom of Sicily seemed about to be shattered. Roger II, its creator and first king had backed the anti-Pope Anacletus II to gain his crown and in the process earned the hostility of most of Europe. Ranged against him were the emperors of both East and West, the most powerful cleric in Christendom - Bernard of Clairvaux, and the rightful Pope. Secular and papal armies were already on the march and Sicily's very survival was at stake. Through a mixture of Norman daring and southern cunning, Roger managed to stay one step ahead of his enemies, triumphing to become the equal of any of his ancestors. Join Lars Brownworth as he looks at the conclusion of the career of Sicily's greatest king.
