Helen Castor
The Eagle and the Hart: The Tragedy of Richard II & Henry IV
Bestselling Cambridge historian and broadcaster Helen Castor is the author of She-Wolves which became a major BBC2 series. She joins us for a compelling event exploring the intertwined lives and reigns of medieval Kings Richard II and Henry IV. The story of two cousins whose rivalry brought their nation to the brink of disintegration and back again, two men whose lives played out in extraordinary parallel until Henry deposed the tyrant Richard and declared himself King in 1399. Join her to hear ‘a dazzling tour de force of epic royal history: a compulsive and unputdownable real-life thriller, a gripping portrait of ruthless power politics and a study of British tyranny’, Simon Sebag Montefiore.
