What are YOU looking at! - George "Fighting" Fitzgerald 1786Description
Be provoked beyond reason by 18th century Ireland's most quarrelsome and violent bully boy - George "Fighting" Fitzgerald.
Its a short tempered tale of animal disguise, head trauma, gratuitous musketry and good old fashioned insanity.
- What did Fitzgerald do to his father - twice!?
- How did he stand when facing an armed opponent?
- Should you avoid him on a narrow street?
- Why should you not try and seduce his female travelling companion?
All these questions will be answered in episode 33 of Rogues Gallery Uncovered - The podcast of Bad Behaviour in Period Costume.
A duellist, rebel and one of the most controversial figures in Irish history, he lived a life of scandal and violence among the Irish gentry. When he wasn’t duelling he was starting feuds, gambling and arguably murdering. If you like historic true crime with a hint of weirdness, buckle up for this episode.
Thanks for listening. Stay Roguish!
