🎧 WHITE KING: CHARLES I – TRAITOR, MURDERER, MARTYR

A recording from Chalke Valley History Festival 2018

Lauded by his friends, condemned by his enemies, remembered as a failed king, Charles I remains an elusive figure. Highly acclaimed author Leanda de Lisle uncovers a king who was radical, principled and brave, but also fatally blinkered, and who was loyally supported by his beloved wife, Henrietta Maria, a warrior queen and political player as impressive as any Tudor consort.
