Joining us just in time for a royal coronation we have the popular British historian and TV presenter Helen Carr. We get into the complicated love-hate history between England and France, how the Plantagenet Dynasty was always in the middle of all of it, and why she chose to write the definitive history of John of Gaunt – the hub for almost all of the 14th-century medieval spokes. Helen also gives her honest take on the modern royal family, the nature of celebrity, and the upcoming coronation of Charles III.

*Note this episode had some technical difficulties so you will notice a couple of jumps in the episode, but we did a great job of editing so it’s still an entertaining romp through British history. Thank you for understanding and enjoy the FABULOUS Helen Carr!!
