This podcast looks at anything and everything to do with the Wars of the Three Kingdoms.
In this episode I speak to the excellent historian, writer and broadcaster, Leanda de Lisle, about a mysterious 2017 metal detector find near the battlefield of Naseby.
Leanda discusses whether the exquisite figure of King Henry VI is, in fact, part of the lost Crown Jewels, most of which were melted down after the end of the civil wars.
