Charles XII: Shot in the Dark
-
Narrated by:
-
By:
Charles XII: the teenage warrior king who couldn't lose — until he lost everything. Gaz and Degsy tell it, and Degsy's mam Brenda is still here, mothering the memory of a 36-year-old who never came home.
Tonight's history (all true):
- Narva, 1700 — the fifteen-year-old king routs a Russian army of nearly forty thousand with eight thousand men, in a blizzard.
- - Poltava, 1709 — he marches into Russia, Peter the Great burns everything, the army freezes, and the empire is broken in a single day.
- - Five years hiding in the Ottoman Empire, a fortnight's ride home, and then a bullet through the head in a Norwegian trench in 1718, aged 36 — and to this day, nobody knows who fired it.
...with two original punk tracks: "Narva" and "Shot in the Dark".
