Eagle and the Hart
My excellent Conversation with Helen Castor (2025-07-24)

A very good episode, definitely recommended.  I enjoyed all of Helen’s books, most notably the recent The Eagle and the Hart: The Tragedy of Richard II and Henry IV , which was the orignial prompt for this episode.

What I’ve been reading (2025-01-05)

Caroline Burt and Richard Partington, Arise, England: Six Kings and the Making of the English State .  Very good to read in conjunction with the recent Helen Castor book .  Burt and Partington reach earlier in time by focusing on the Edwards, but you can compare their treatments of Richard II, and that is what I am starting with here.

Updating the best of 2024 lists (2024-12-31)

As for the end of the year surprise book, one of the very best from 2024, there is Helen Castor’s The Eagle and the Hart: The Tragedy of Richard II and Henry IV .  I’ll be writing more about it in 2025.
