Books by Helen Castor

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.
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.
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.
