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 Hesilrige, 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.
