Cameo 62 - King Ferrantino of Naples

Friday Jan 23, 2026
The third episode in our series A Month in Naples (Not as Nice as it Sounds).
His father has thrown the crown to Ferrantino and legged it to Sicily, leaving his son to face the French.
This one isn't as bad as the last two.....up to a point!

Maybe he didn't have the artistic flair of his dad, but he did have his own certain something....unfortunately it wasn't very nice.

The worst pope who ever poped? In Part Two we felt he was definitely in the running.
P.S. You will hear a new voice at the end of this episode. We will explain some impending changes in a special update episode. All good. But, in the meantime, meet David.

Henry's Kids

... and Elizabeth's, obviously, but that would have made for a less snappy title.
What sort of parents were Henry and Elizabeth? How did they cope with the inevitable child mortality? Does anything in Prince Henry's childhood explain.......anything?

Mother of two kings, grandmother of a king and a queen, great-grandmother of Henry VIII, and so close to becoming a queen herself. It's hardly surprising she had such an eventful life.

He should have been the Roman Emperor, but Sultan Mehmet put a stop to that when he sacked Constantinople. So how do you pass the time when you no longer have a role in life?
