This podcast looks at anything and everything to do with the War of the three Kingdoms.

In this episode I speak to Keith Dowen, deputy-curator of the Royal Armouries, about the Littlecote Collection (the most important surviving civil war armoury) and the individual civil war artefacts in the collection such as:

• Iconic armour which was used by both sides
• Buff coats and Mortuary Swords
• King Charles I's armour
• One 1970 prop from the film 'Cromwell' starring Sir Alec Guinness and Richard Harris

Hear more about Gustavus Adolphus's buff coat, and why that changed hands shortly after WWI. (not in the RA collection)

Clubmen. A third force. Neutrals. They are an overlooked party in a war when the main choice was given as King or Parliament. Yet many thousands did not make that choice and formed 'clubmen' associations against the war.

Find out who the Clubmen were, their aims, and fates. I am joined by Haydn, who has been researching Clubmen for five years and has a presence on Facebook, Twitter and at www.clubmen1645.com.

In episode 6, I'll talk about the 1643 Siege of Bristol - the mother of all sieges - and one which would have failed were it not for the efforts of Prince Rupert. I'll also chat with Andy George, the commanding officer of Prince Rupert's Bluecoats, a regiment within The Sealed Knot re-enactment society.

Find out what made the 2018 Bristol re-enactment so poignant, and also why Cheriton 2005 was a most memorable event, as well as more about The Sealed Knot and Andy's interest in the civil war.

CavalierCast - The Civil War in Words.

In episode 3, I look at the South West battle of Roundway Down. The limping royalist army, commanded by Sir Ralph Hopton, (who had just been accidentally blown up) were pursued by Sir William Waller and forced to hole up in Devizes. The outcome of Roundway Down would decide the fate of Bristol, a key town in the kingdom, as well as which side would dominate in the South West.
