About The History of England
This my re-telling of the story of England. I aim to be honest, and rigorous - but always loving of my country's history. It is a regular, chronological podcast, starting from the end of Roman Britain. There are as many of the great events I can squeeze in, of course, but I also try to keep an eye on how people lived, their language, what was important to them, the forces that shaped their lives and destinies, that sort of thing.

Not convinced, in short. Some prepared for what they felt to be inevitable, actually, and they looked for a future saviour. Patrick Hume wrote a memorandum to William of Orange and urged him to think about intervening. Because James was driven on by his religion, he said, like a strong twist in a clue. […]
