Stéphane Bern SEASON 2022 - 20236:00 p.m., November 23, 2022

Historically Yours brings together 3 characters who really set things on fire: Guy Fawkes, a devout Catholic who tried, with others, to blow up King James I of England in the famous episode of The Conspiracy Powders.

Then they also handled the powder, the black powder of their revolver: the arms manufacturers Horace Smith & Daniel B. Wesson and their famous pistols at the time of the conquest of the West.

And an Italian journalist who set fire to the powder too, with a book-investigation on the Neapolitan mafia and its gunpowder networks: Roberto Saviano.

Author of "The body in majesty: Elizabeth 1st of England" (L'Harmattan)


- Didier Combeau,
