  • Henry V with Dan Jones
    Sep 9 2024

    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.

  • Eating with the Tudors with Brigitte Webster
    Sep 7 2024

    Right trusty and well beloved, we greet you well!


    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.

  • 1666: Plague, War and Hellfire with Rebecca Rideal
    Sep 6 2024

    Right trusty and well beloved, we greet you well!


    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?
