In this episode of French People Are Rude, Brandon and Sean dive into the wildest rulers history ever produced. From Popes who poisoned dinner guests to emperors who thought they were gods.
Meet the “hosts” of our imaginary awards show: Caligula and Henry VIII, celebrating the megalomaniacs who built empires, waged holy wars, and indulged in absolute madness.

This is the episode where you’ll walk away knowing:

• Absolute power doesn’t just corrupt—it makes people invent new ways to go insane.

• History’s wildest stories aren’t myths; they’re just old headlines.

• “Drunk with power” used to be literal.

Welcome to French People Are Rude, where history is stranger (and bloodier) than fiction. Produced by The Tour Guy, Europe's leading tour & experience marketplace.
