THIS IS HISTORY — A DYNASTY TO DIE FOR
Season 10, Episode 4: The Kingmaker Strikes Back
It’s a gorgeous, calculated provocation.
In the summer of 1469, in Calais, the Earl of Warwick, marries his daughter Isabel to George, Duke of Clarence, brother and heir to King Edward IV.
It’s another shot across the bow to Edward, who doesn’t seem to understand that the kingmaker wants him out. Within weeks, Warwick's rebels crush a royal army at Edgcote and the Kingmaker imprisons the king himself in the Tower of London.
England collapses into anarchy.
Warwick, humbled, is forced to release Edward. Astonishingly, he is pardoned. More astonishingly, he rebels again. Defeated at Losecoat Field, he flees to France, where he finds an unlikely ally.

And don’t forget to listen to this season’s accompanying bonus episodes for this miniseries, where Dan and Producer Al discuss the "congenital shitbird” that is George, Duke of Clarence. Plus, Dan settles the rumours about whether Edward IV was really illegitimate after all.

A man is walking down the street one day, and as he's walking comes across a penguin. The man confused at this looks around and sees a police officer down the street sitting in his cruiser. Not knowing what to do he takes the penguin to the police officer and says "Officer, I found this penguin, I'm not sure what to do with him". The officer shrugs and says "Take him to the zoo". The next day the officer is driving down the street when he sees the man he saw yesterday with the penguin walking down the street. Now the officer confused pulls up along side the man, rolls down his window and says "Hey there mister, didn't I see you yesterday? And didn't I tell you to take the penguin to the zoo?" The man looks over at the officer and says "Yes sir I did, he loved it! Now I'm taking him to the movies".
