King Carol II: Romania's Playboy Monarch and Royal Dictatorship
Om avsnittet
In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the tumultuous reign of King Carol II of Romania, who ruled from 1930 to 1940. They discuss his scandalous personal life — leaving his wife for his mistress Magda Lupescu, his role in bringing down the Iron Guard, and his establishment of a royal dictatorship in 1938. The episode covers the 1938 Constitution, the National Renaissance Front, the execution of Corneliu Zelea Codreanu, and the loss of Bessarabia and Northern Bukovina in 1940. Lucas explains how Carol's authoritarian rule destabilized Romania and set the stage for Ion Antonescu's takeover. The conversation also touches on Carol's cultural patronage, including his love of art and his affair with the writer Martha Bibescu. This episode fills the gap between the Iron Guard and Antonescu regimes.
