<p>Matt Lewis journeys into the world behind the latest story from the <em>Game of Thrones</em> universe, <em>A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms</em>, to discover how it illustrates that medieval history is far more colourful and spectacular than you might think.</p><br><p>After nerding out about the world created by George R.R. Martin<em> </em>with Dr. Eleanor Janega, Matt is joined by Dr Hugh Doherty, the show’s historical advisor, who worked with its writers to build a believable world of knights, codes, and clashing swords, bringing authentic medieval life to Westeros. They discuss what the show gets right — and why it matters.</p><br><p><strong>MORE</strong></p><p><strong>Dragons: From Eden to Middle Earth</strong></p><p><a href="podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/dragons-from-ede…; rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen on Apple</a></p><p><a href="open.spotify.com/episode/05PDdzvDlc8Q9DpApn7Hz…; rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen on Spotify</a></p><br><p><strong>Tolkien: Middle Earth & the Middle Ages</strong></p><p><a href="podcasts.apple.com/nz/podcast/tolkien-middle-e…; rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen on Apple</a></p><p><a href="open.spotify.com/episode/1rW33f34c4lMmFMA3GeLA…; rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen on Spotify</a></p><br><p>Gone Medieval is presented by Matt Lewis.
