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

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!
