Today our guest is Ashley Wood, and we’re talking about his new Amberley Published book - Henry’s Shadow, which tells us about the life and times of John Morton, a cleric who was a very important figure during the Wars of the Roses.

John Morton was born during the reign of Henry V, with the memory of Henry IV still in the air, and died during the reign of Henry VII, with a future Henry VIII being a boy.

What was this man like, who did he side with, and how did he manage to survive in such perilous times? Let’s hear it from Ashley.
