Radio 4 Making History 3pm on April 2nd

Are airing a programme where Alison Weir will be talking about John
Tiptoft, the Earl of Worcester. I was interviewed - in character - as
John Howard, and our re-enactment household leader - who portrays
Tiptoft - will be asking a question of Alison Weir. There's also a
nasty Lancastrian point of view put by one of the dastardly Oxfords as
well.

I hope it proves interesting to anyone who wants to know a bit more
about the more obscure, but important characters of the 15th Century.

Hope the question Weir is asked is "Why do you call yourself a
historian?" :-)

"Richard Liveth Yet!"

Radio 4 have been busy.

On Thursday morning, Melvyn Bragg's "In our time" featured the dissolution of the monasteries and concluded with an intriguing possibility.

The two families that profited most from this move were the Cromwells (descended from Thomas' sister) and the Fairfaxes, who were at the forefront of the Parliamentarian cause in the Civil War.

In other words, Henry VIII may have partially precipitated the downfall and demise of his great-great-great-nephew.

PS I cannot post from the website for some reason.

Hmm - after hearing her nasty Lancastrian bias I might be inclined to
share your opinion......
