The youngest son of a powerful aristocrat, Goodwin desperately sought to carve out his own legacy—whether in politics, treasure hunting, alchemy, or, eventually, ruling a mystical underground fairy kingdom. His journey involved angelic visions, ill-fated inventions, deep-sea diving, and some truly bizarre royal entanglements. But was it all a con? A delusion? Or just the story of a man determined to matter in history? Join us as we uncover the wildlife of Goodwin Wharton, a Whig politician, would-be revolutionary, and fairy royalty.

Living in Ireland, all fairies being Catholic is hilarious considering how many centuries clergy went to war with the heavily ingrained belief in fairies we had

9:23 Oh, Holy Lord... If I had been there, here's the image that would have immediately sprung into my mind: All hail MacBeth! Hail to thee, Thane of Glamis! All hail MacBeth! Hail to thee, Thane of Cawdor! All hail MacBeth! Thou shalt be King hereafter! If you can look into the seeds of time and tell which grain will grow and which will not, speak thence to me, who neither begs, nor fears your favours, nor your hate. Lesser than MacBeth, and greater! Not so happy, yet much happier! Thou shalt get Kings, though thou be none. So all hail MacBeth and Banquo. All hail!
