* Episode 001
* Thomas Mallitte & Howard Rudge
* Pembroke Castle
In our opening episode, we invited Howard Rudge, chair of Pembroke Town Walls Trust and a guide at Pembroke Castle, to take us on a journey into Pembroke's grisly past with the incredible story of secret abductee John Whithorn. We discuss the terrible conditions facing prisoners, brutal punishments meted out by the Normans to establish control through fear, Pembrokeshire's ancestory, important lessons we can learn from our history, and how a ten-year genealogy study connected Howard directly to an Earl of Pembroke.
