7 The New World and the Treaty of Tordesillas

Lorna talks us through the discovery of the New World by Christopher Columbus and the subsequent Papal Bull Inter caetera and the Treaty of Tordesillas. That’s a lot to get through in fifty minutes! As well as all that historical goodness for your bellies, we’ve got a couple of added treats for you:
Matt makes the same (edit: unfunny) joke three times.
We realise none of us quite understand Mexican food.
And put simply, Lorna asks us to guess too many dates.
