  • Andrea Zuvich a.k.a. The 17th Century Lady is back on the podcast, and today we’re discussing her latest book - Ravenous: A Life of Barbara Villiers, Charles II’s Most Infamous Mistress. And what a life! 

    Welcome back, Andrea!


    Barbara Villiers is known for being a mistress to Charles II, and a cousin to George, the Second Duke of Buckingham. Did you know she may have had a child with John, the First Duke of Marlborough? (That's an ancestor to both Lady Diana and Winston Churchill)

    Let's delve deep into her life story, and untangle the web of lovers, royalty, and the general Stuart calamities...


    Please join the #KeepItStuart movement in helping us to bring spotlight onto this oft-forgotten dynasty, The Stuarts, who ruled Britain in the 17th century, after ruling Scotland for the previous three.

    Let's celebrate #StuartSaturday, which is today!

    This is the final one.

    And today we’ll be talking about the Legacy of the year 1066 and the Battle of Hastings. Why does it matter, almost a thousand years later, that the Saxons were defeated by the Normans? What did William do after becoming king of England? How did the landscape change? Did it have any effect on the population at large? Let’s find out…

    It is our great pleasure to announce our next guest, the legendary Dan Jones.


    We’re going to talk about his new book - Henry V and the life and times of this great warrior king. 


    How did Henry survive being struck with an arrow in his face, when most would perish from such a wound?

    What lessons of kingship did Henry learn from Richard II and Henry IV when only a prince?

    Was he truly as pious as history would have us believe?

    What was Henry's go-to phrase?


    Tune in and join in on all the medieval fun.


    Dan’s books are available on Head of Zeus website in the UK, as well as Amazon and instantly on Kindle, and for pre-order on Viking Books for those across the pond.

    Today our guest is Brigitte Webster, and she’s going to tell us all about her book, published with Pen & Sword.

    She will tell us about the Tudors’ relationship with their food: what they ate, what they drank, and how it is different from our attitude towards food today.

    Brigitte lives in a 16th century house, which she is in the process of restoring to its fabulous Tudor glory. There are few people who can tell us this much about the daily world of the Tudors.

    I am delighted to introduce today’s guest, Rebecca Rideal and we’re going to talk about her book '1666: Plague, War and Hellfire', which is particularly relevant due to the recent anniversary of the Great Fire of London.

    Let's dive into the history of the mid-1660's and see not only why The Plague, The War and the Fire happened, but also what was life like preceding these.

    What were some of the great inventions of the 1660's?  What was London like in the 17th century?

  • This is the final in our trilogy of episodes regarding the great battle of 

    Bannockburn, which happened in June 1314, when the might of England could not defeat the Scottish army. 


    This is one of the most famous battles in Scottish history.

    In our previous episodes we spoke of the leaders of the opposing armies, as well as of the battle itself, in all its glory.


    This time we’re talking about the legacy of the Battle of Bannockburn, what did it mean for Scotland, for its victor Robert the Bruce and what can you see from this battlefield today. 


    Now, let’s hear our interview with Callum Watson, author and historian, who actually works at the site of the Battle of Bannockburn and who recently published a book on the topic with Pen & Sword.

    He also contributed to the Channel 5 documentary ‘Britain’s Lost Battlefields’, where he spoke all things Bannockburn;

    AND Callum also has worked as a historical advisor on the ‘Outlaw King’ film for Netflix.
