Show Notes
Today as the title suggests we're going to cover three main themes or subjects
Firstly, Paul's support of Napoleon’s march on India.
Secondly, we are going to spend some time trying to get to know Paul’s eldest son and heir, Alexander, who was a fascinating and genuinely complicated young man, with good reason.
And then we’ll finish things off by taking a look at some of the people around Paul who were starting to get seriously hacked-off with the Tsar himself and the direction that things in general were going.
If you want get in touch with a question or a positive or negative comment then you can by sending me a mail at [email protected] and I will try to respond as soon as I can.
