    32:32

    This week I'll be looking at Charles' middle years. It's interesting seeing his life divided up into three parts, mainly due to how long the reign of his brother was compared to the reigns of his nephews. I hope you'll join me for this episode. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Passed is the podcast about those who would never rule.
