Let’s talk about Kateryn Parr - the last wife of Henry VIII.

Who were her first two husbands? Was she indeed the one who survived?

What was her relationship like with her step-children? She must have been quite a woman for Henry to leave her as regent when he went to fight the French.

To chat all things Kateryn, we have Laura Adkins, who recently published a biography of this queen with Pen & Sword.

Ever seen medieval knights with guns?

The English Civil War of the 17th century had some of their warriors dressed in medieval armour, as they were sporting the latest gun technology…

these knights were under the command of Sir Arthur Heselrige, one of the underrated figures of this conflict.

Today we’re talking to Myke Cole, as Sir Arthur and his medieval-dressed knights are the subject of his new book

Steel Lobsters: Crown, Commonwealth, and the Last Knights in England, published by Osprey.
