We're starting the week with a ghost story, an origin tale and a story of a pious pilgrim all wrapped into one with 'The Roman Ghosts'.
All in Folklore
Ep. 1058 - Legends of the Rhine - Lord Erich's Pledge
A drunken noble being relieved of his trousers seems like the right kind of energy to end the week on, no?
Ep. 1057 - Legends of the Rhine - The High Cross at Godesberg
The saddest story that I've told in a long while, 'The High Cross at Godesberg' was no way to end the week. So I've combined this two part tale to give us a happier note on Friday.
Ep. 1056 - Legends of the Rhine - The Nightingale Valley at Honnef
Have you ever been so upset with a bird that you wanted to banish it forever? St. Bernhard has.
Ep. 1055 - Legends of the Rhine - The Origin of the Seven Mountains
An origin story featuring giants. There's no better way to end the week in my opinion.

'The Monk of Heisterbach' becomes the Rhine's very own Rip Van Winkle while out pondering the words of the Lord.
Ep. 1053 - Legends of the Rhine - The Drachenfels
A conversion to Christianity, a fire breathing dragon and a maiden in distress. 'The Drachenfels' has it all.

We're ending the week with another two part tale, this one featuring the famous Knight Roland, nephew of Charlemagne, hero and featured in song through the ages.
