Plausibly Live! - The Official Podcast Of The Dave Bowman Show

On this episode of *Dave Does History*, we are heading back to 1351 for one of the most curious, chivalrous, and downright cinematic episodes of the Hundred Years’ War—the Combat of the Thirty. Picture it: thirty knights loyal to England, thirty to France, meeting under a lone oak tree in Brittany for a fight to the death—not for land, not for gold, but for honor. Or so the story goes. Was it a noble duel or a public relations stunt wrapped in chainmail? Join me as we pull back the curtain on a battle that became legend—bloody, bold, and unforgettable.
