Professor Mark Stoyle (University of Southampton) joins me to discuss Rupert's dog, Boye, and belief & superstition of the time.

* How was Boye woven into witchcraft, superstition, and belief?

* What do we know of the real dog and his fate?

* Magical powers given to the dog in pamphlets

* The explosion of pamphlets and printing presses

This podcast looks at anything and everything to do with the Wars of the Three Kingdoms, which is very much an overlooked part of our history. Hopefully CavalierCast can help change that.

Fabulous series of podcasts that brings the late sixteenth and seventeenth century Civil War into detailed focus, bringing the period to life. Much more than simply battle diaries, these podcast detail the individuals, their families, thier beliefs, their day to day lives including in episode 45, Prince Rupert's dog Boye! Presentation is first class and the guest experts present in an easy to listen informal style. Highly recommend this series of podcasts.
