Episode 5 of the podcast is now available in the series No plan like yours to study history wisely. Having covered the Lancastrians in previous podcast we have now arrived at the house of York, descended thrice over from Edward III. This week we cover Richard of Consiburgh and Richard of York – not to mention assorted Earls of March before progressing to Edward IV, Richard III and the Princes in the Tower.
I’m relaxing a bit more but am aware that I can still improve the quality of the presentation – none the less I hope that you’re enjoying the podcasts. I’ve actually started to enjoy making them, not least because I now feel much more confident with the software…and am enjoying the sound effects!

Those of you on my class mailing list or the History Jar Facebook page will already know about this. Thank you for the very kind feedback that I’ve received. The first episode is a sprint through Norman monarchs. There’s also a mnemonic included for those folk who are delving into their historical knowledge to do some home history schooling of younger school age children.
The school history curriculum in England and Wales includes the Norman Conquest in Year 7 (first year of secondary school) and it can also appear at Key Stage One or Two. The rest of the Norman period is unlikely to be covered until Key Stage 4 which may include Anglo Saxon society, the ways in which Edward the Confessor’s death was problematic and Norman government amongst other things.
Mnemonic’s are sentences that help you to remember a list. You take the first letter from each word in the phrase or sentence to help recall the list: e.g. Richard of York Gave Battle in Vain is the best known mnemonic which helps you to remember the order that the colours appear in the rainbow.

You should see the History jar and on the right hand side an arrow. Click on the arrow to listen. I can only apologise about the sound quality – I’m amazed the mic worked and as its the first one I’ve ever done I don’t think that I’m going to win any prizes for delivery. In future I shall position Paddington Bear in the front row before I start recording as a substitute for my lovely ladies and gentlemen. Hopefully I shall get better with an audience – even a solitary furry audience with a blue duffel coat and red wellies.
