The historian Chris Riley, is back on the podcast, to talk about all things 1066: The Norman Conquest.

This is the second of these episodes, and today we’re talking about the Battle of Stamford Bridge, the anniversary of which is today!

Why was this a fight few remember, instead always focussing on the Battle of Hastings? Why was Stamford Bridge important?

The historian Chris Riley, is back on the podcast, to talk about all things 1066: The Norman Conquest.

In this, the first of the four episodes in this mini series, we talk about the pre-cursors of the famous year and why is it so significant in retrospect. Why was England such a prize? Who wanted the throne of England?

Right trusty and well beloved, we greet you well!

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.
