Title: Hoax Author: Victor Stater Narrator: John Lee Format: mp3 Length: 13 hrs and 8 mins Release date: 09-13-22 Ratings: 4 out of 5 stars, 6 ratings Genres: 17th Century Publisher's Summary: In 1678, a handful of perjurers claimed that the Catholics of England planned to assassinate the king. Men like the "Reverend Doctor" Titus Oates and "Captain" William Bedloe parlayed their fantastical tales of Irish ruffians, medical poisoners, and silver bullets into public adulation and government pensions. The result was the trial and execution of over a dozen innocent Catholics, and the imprisonment of many more, some of whom died in custody. Victor Stater examines the Popish Plot in full, arguing that it had a profound and lasting significance on British politics.
