| Ep 13 "Oh the banners!": of sigils and heraldry | 26 Sep 2024 | 01:47:52 | |
In this episode, your hosts take you on a journey to medieval and not so medieval Europe to explore the rich world of heraldry to compare it to its Westeros counterpart: sigils. Who gets to have a coat of arms? How to pick your doodle? What are the rules? Are imaginary coat of arms a new thing? We discovered so much we didn't know about, it was an actual delight to learn so much -and hopefully you enjoy learning with us. It's not just pretty images, but it is *also* pretty images. And identity. Tell your friends and even your enemies about this episode, and if you liked what you hear, leave us a firework of stars and rave about us in a review on your podcast app of choice.

| 05 Unnatural Histories | 13 Mar 2024 | 02:43:38 | |
In this episode, your hosts take you on a cruise to discover real world creatures that are extremely real, as our friends the Orcs of Winterfell reminded us, and as attested by medieval bestiaries. We also draw parallels with what creatures we see in the books A Song of Ice and Fire, A World of Ice and Fire as well as Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon the TV shows: dragons, unicorns, wyverns etc. and even weirwood trees!

| 04 Cats of the Harbour and beyond | 01 Feb 2024 | 02:03:56 | |
In episode four of the podcast we talk all about the cats of ASOIAF and our world. What function has cats had in our world historically, and how does that parallel ASOIAF? Are there cats in mythology and religion (in ASOIAF and irl)? Is Ser Pounce the true hero of the story? Join us on a feline trip through ASOIAF and history!

| 03 What’s in a name? | 26 Dec 2023 | 02:34:54 | |
Today on the 26th of December, the Titan of Braavos brings you a gift: episode 3 of Ragman's Harbour! In our third episode, we discuss naming conventions in ASOIAF and our real world. How did last names come to be a thing in our world, and how does that parallel last names in ASOIAF? Why are there so many Aegons in ASOIAF history, as well as many Louis and Gustavs in French and Swedish history? (Spoiler: it has to do with one of Virginie's favourite words) We also discuss the effects of colonisation and slavery on the naming of people, both in ASOIAF and our own world. So get ready to learn all about names and what they say about norms and structures in society!

| 02 Of Scandals and Bastards | 06 Dec 2023 | 03:01:07 | |
In our second episode, we dive into a variety of sex scandals and issues of inheritance, from our own world and ASOIAF. As we go along, we discuss what happens when royals have sex out of wedlock, but also what rights bastards have in various historical and cultural contexts. And much more. We want to give a brief apology for the audio quality in this episode. We had some issues when recording, that has since been identified and won't be a problem in future episodes. This is also the reason why this episode took a bit longer to come out. Thank you LittleWolfBird for helping us with audio engineering and making all sound as good as possible!

| 01 The Red Wedding and Other Bloodbaths | 12 Sep 2023 | 01:23:18 | |
In our first episode, we thought we'd introduce the podcast project then explore some "light and fun" real life parallels to one of ASOIAF's most well known events.

From Virginie: Tuer et Mourir au Nom de Dieu : a fantastic podcast series about the St Barthélémie season with many prominent historians, particularly Jérémie Foa -on whom I largely base my blurb Jérémie Foa's Tous ceux qui tombent book on the event Jérémie Foa's BD (comic book) on the event, and on how the movie La Reine Margot is not quite accurate | |||
