I was capital-T Thrilled to interview Helen Castor on her new book, The Eagle and the Hart, on Richard II and Henry IV - in this interview we cover how 16th century historians can learn from this period in history several generations before, the tragedy of Richard, the lessons the Tudors learned, and more.

Helen Castor is an acclaimed medieval and Tudor historian. Her first book, Blood and Roses: The Paston Family in the Wars of the Roses, was longlisted for what is now known as the Baillie Gifford Prize for Nonfiction and won the English Association’s Beatrice White Prize. Get The Eagle and the Hart wherever you get your books!
