Assassins vs Templars: Assassins' Deeds

Poisoned blades, a gun, a dagger to the heart - assassinations & killings for political gain have taken place for as long as societies have existed. Just as in the games, we have evidence of assassinations from Ancient Egypt to the American Revolution to the Victorian Age. In this episode with the disaster historian, John Withington, Matt Lewis finds out what motives people have had for assassinations over the years, how their methods might have changed, and how the assassinations carried out by the Nizari branch of Ismaili Muslims fit into this history.An original Ubisoft series, produced by History Hit with post-production by Paradiso Media.If you liked this podcast please subscribe, share, rate & review.To find out more go to this website or find us on Facebook & Twitter.Hosted on Acast.
