On the 17th December in the year of our Lord 1619, a boy was born to Elizabeth Stuart and Frederick V of Bohemia.
He would grow up to be his uncle's fierce cavalier commander with the ever-romantic moniker - Rupert of the Rhine.
To give dynastic context - Rupert was grandson to James VI & I, nephew to Charles I, and uncle to the future George I.
If you ever needed a link between the Stuarts and the Hanoverians, this is it.
With us today we have author and historian Mark Turnbull.
He has published Rupert's biography with Pen & Sword.

On the 19th November in the year of our Lord 1600,
a boy was born in Scotland at Dunfermline Palace - he was the second son and the third child of the King of Scotland, James VI.
Few could have predicted he would one day be king, not just of Scotland, but also of England and Ireland. No one could have foretold this boy would die on the scaffold for treason against his own country…
This boy was of course, Charles James Stuart, who would become Charles I.
Let’s turn back the clock and find out more about Charles as a young king.
With us today we have author and historian Mark Turnbull.
He has published Charles I's Private Life with Pen & Sword.

On the 16th November 1272 Henry III of England breathed his last.
The grandson of Eleanor of Aquitaine, son of King John and father of Edward I, he often gets overshadowed by his retrospectively more illustrious relatives and nemeses. Let’s look at the king who preferred peace to war, giving money instead of taking it, and who had one of the longest reigns in the history of the British isles.
Let’s welcome back Darren Baker who has written a book on this topic titled Henry III: The Great King England Never Knew It Had, published with The History Press.

The Oscar season is around the corner, and William Shakespeare is once again frequenting the red carpet, so why not look back and talk about a film that won 7 (!) Academy Awards, and is literally one of the best films of all time when it comes to the bard. I’m talking of course, about Shakespeare in Love (1998).
Joining me today is Darren Freebury-Jones, another fan of this oeuvre.
Darren has written many books about Shakespeare and his contemporaries. You may remember him from our Borrowed Feathers episode a few months ago.
Welcome back, Darren!
