Sceptred Isle, A New History of the Fourteenth Century, Part 1, with Helen Carr

from The Tudor Chest Podcast · host Adam Pennington

England in the fourteenth century would go through some of the most turbulent in royal history! To discuss it all, I am thrilled to welcome historian and author Helen Carr onto the podcast for the first time. Helen’s latest book, Sceptred Isle, A New History of the Fourteenth Century is the backbone for our conversation, a conversation which today focuses on King Edward II - was he actually in love with male favourites, was he to blame for all that befell his people, and did he really die from a red hot poker up where you really don't want one - well keep listening to find out!
