Yet another "deal with the Devil" in the Rhine valley, but this time Master Gerhard of Ryle has a secret on his side.
All in German Folktale
Ep. 1062 - Legends of the Rhine - Jan and Griet
'Jan and Griet' is certainly not a love story, but it is the tale of what "might have been".
Ep. 1061 - Legends of the Rhine - The Goblins
Ever wonder where the goblins you read about in folklore and fairytales have gone? Blame Mrs. Cotton from Cologne.
Ep. 1059 - Legends of the Rhine - The Roman Ghosts
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'.
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.

Have you ever been so upset with a bird that you wanted to banish it forever? St. Bernhard has.

'The Monk of Heisterbach' becomes the Rhine's very own Rip Van Winkle while out pondering the words of the Lord.

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.
