[Podcast] Woldemar - The Greatest Con in History
In August 1348 an old man arrives before the Archbishop of Magdeburg. He is frail and worn but, in dropping a signet ring before the Archbishop, he claims to be Woldemar the Great, Margrave of Brandenburg, but there is only one problem. Woldemar the Great had been dead for 29 years.
Who was this old man, what did he want, could it possibly be that this man truly was the Great Leader, the last in the Brandenburg Ascanian line, known as Woldemar returned to claim his land and who would believe him?
