  • Heather R Darsie is back on the podcast, this time with her upcoming new book

    "Katharine of Aragon: Spanish Princess: I Am Not as Simple as I May Seem", published by Amberley Books.


    Let's re-evaluate what we know of Katharine, as the daughter of Spain. What family drama did she leave behind? What was going on the continent when Henry was trying to divorce her? Did the change of Pope affect Katharine's fate?

    Heather dives deep into Katharine's youth and busts myth after myth. Prepare to re-evaluate everything you know of this great Queen.

  • Today our guest is Ashley Wood, and we’re talking about his new Amberley Published book - Henry’s Shadow, which tells us about the life and times of John Morton, a cleric who was a very important figure during the Wars of the Roses.

    John Morton was born during the reign of Henry V, with the memory of Henry IV still in the air, and died during the reign of Henry VII, with a future Henry VIII being a boy.

    What was this man like, who did he side with, and how did he manage to survive in such perilous times? Let’s hear it from Ashley.

  • Let’s talk about Kateryn Parr - the last wife of Henry VIII.

    Who were her first two husbands? Was she indeed the one who survived?

    What was her relationship like with her step-children? She must have been quite a woman for Henry to leave her as regent when he went to fight the French.

    To chat all things Kateryn, we have Laura Adkins, who recently published a biography of this queen with Pen & Sword.

  • Ever seen medieval knights with guns? 


    The English Civil War of the 17th century had some of their warriors dressed in medieval armour, as they were sporting the latest gun technology…

    these knights were under the command of Sir Arthur Hesilrige, one of the underrated figures of this conflict.

    Today we’re talking to Myke Cole, as Sir Arthur and his medieval-dressed knights are the subject of his new book

    Steel Lobsters: Crown, Commonwealth, and the Last Knights in England, published by Osprey.
