An absolutely spectacular setting for tonight’s talk. St Mary the Virgin church in Mold was endowed by Lady Margaret Beaufort, the mother of Henry VII…and it shows 🤩🤩🤩I hope she’d have approved of what I said about her great-granddaughter #thestolencrown @HodderBooks

Who’s excited for #kingandconqueror later?? @BBCOne I’m hoping William’s formidable consort Matilda has plenty of air time. You can find out more about her in my podcast and blog for @HRP_palaces and of course in my book! #matildaofflanders #1066

“William Camden, actually went back on Elizabeth I's orders and rewrote it on James's orders." James I, “deeply unpopular,” manipulated history to portray his succession as smooth, though Elizabeth I was unaware of such plans, reveals Tudor expert @TracyBorman. @LiddleRod
