There was a reason cavalry dominated battlefields for centuries. And today, we're covering 12 of the greatest British cavalry charges in history—from the glorious to the reckless. Stick around to the end to hear which one is my personal favourite. What do you think? What did I miss? Salamanca could have been there, but as I am covering that battle in a few weeks it didn't seem right to include it.   Thanks to Chris Brice for co-writing this episode.    Join my mailing list here - https://redcoathistory.com/

Gloucester Cathedral, St Peter's Abbey before the dissolution in 1540, was founded in 1541. The ‘Deed of Endowment', one of three documents created for the occasion features in this video complete with flattering portrait of King Henry VIII, a Garter Badge, badge of the Prince of Wales and the original green and white (the Tudor colours) silk cord which once held the great seal. The oldest items in the archive are pages from Aelfric's The Lives of Saints which had been reused as decorative pages in a later book binding. They are around 1000 years old and look as fresh as the day they were written!The most significant item to the Cathedral is its ‘Historia,' created by monks at the Abbey in the 1390s and recording as much of the Abbey's history as they were able to. Archivist Rebecca Phillips is fairly confident that they didn't have written records from which to source information and so this is the first time the oral history of the abbey had been written down. It would then have been copied and distributed to daughter houses of the Abbey to share their story and engender a sense of belonging. British History is a reader-supported publication. To support my work, please consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.We get to see these items up close in this video plus an exquisitely embroidered King James Bible, the first Chapter Book of the Cathedral containing the signature of William Laud, and an ironic reliquary. The reliquary is thought to contain a fragment of the stake on which Bishop Hooper, Bishop of Gloucester, was burned during Mary I's reign. It's a beautifully carved and decorated box, the irony being in that Hopper was opposed to the use of relics. I hope you enjoy this video.

How have the first hours and days after childbirth changed in the NHS? Before the NHS, a 1932 publication describing mothers resting after labour, referred to lying-in as ranging from two weeks to two months, but attitudes have altered. In 1950 the book National Baby was published by Sarah Campion. Emily Baughan has been reading it and looks at the differences between childbirth then, memories of her mother and her own experiences. Dr Emily Baughan is a New Generation Thinker on the scheme run by the Arts and Humanities Research Council and the BBC to put academic research on radio. She is a senior lecturer in 19th and 20th century British History at the University of Sheffield, a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society and is working on a book, Love's Labour, which is a history of childcare.

You've heard of the Wars of the Roses—the epic struggle for England's throne—but you probably haven't heard the whole story (or maybe you have, how should I know?). It's a gripping tale of power, courage, and most importantly… water hoses. So sit back and enjoy an enthralling history lesson you won't find in the textbooks or on anything that starts with "Wiki"—either because it's total nonsense, or because it's so true that it had to be labeled as fiction to be believed (spoiler alert, it's the first one).

In this, the final of 3 episodes, recorded live, we are discussing the factors going on in Rome which effected Henry VIII's ultimately failed attempt to secure a divorce from his first wife Katherine of Aragon. Last time we covered the sack of Rome in 1527 and, in episode 1, the build up to it. We learned how the breakdown in relations between Francois I of France, Charles V Holy Roman Emperor, Charles duke of Burgundy and Pope Clement VII led to this indescribably horrific humanitarian disaster.British History is a reader-supported publication.

AP correspondent Karen Chammas reports on some incredible discoveries by British treasure hunters.

1649 was a significant year in British History because King Charles I was executed for treason. A lesser known, but arguably equally important, historical moment occurred in that same year: the first publication of the Qu'ran in English. Surprisingly, it was instigated by an English woman, called Margaret White, who was the wife of a printer called Robert based in Fleet Street, London.Based on historical research, this drama imagines the circumstances as to how the Qu'ran came to be first published in the English language.Cast: Margaret .........

In this episode of the Anglotopia podcast, host Jonathan Thomas speaks with Allen Packwood, director of the Churchill Archives Center at Cambridge, about Winston Churchill's role during the D-Day landings. They explore the complexities of military strategy, the scale of preparations, and the integration of civilian and military efforts. Allen shares insights from his research and discusses how Churchill's past experiences, particularly the Gallipoli campaign, influenced his decision-making during World War II. The conversation also touches on the dynamics between Churchill, Roosevelt, and Stalin, and the challenges of navigating post-war visions. This conversation delves into the complexities of Winston Churchill's leadership during World War II, particularly focusing on his relationships with the United States and the Soviet Union, his hands-on approach to military operations, and the challenges he faced in the post-war world. The discussion also touches on Churchill's character, his desire for direct involvement in key military events like D-Day, and the lessons that can be drawn from his life and career. Additionally, the potential for creating an AI model based on Churchill's writings is explored, alongside personal anecdotes and favorite quotes from the historical figure. Links Churchill Archives Allen Packwood Churchill's D-Day Book link Takeaways Allen Packwood's journey to the Churchill Archives was serendipitous. Churchill's leadership during D-Day is often misrepresented. The planning for D-Day began as early as 1942. Civilian preparations were crucial for the success of D-Day. Churchill was deeply concerned about the impact on French civilians. Integration of British and American forces was essential for D-Day. Lessons from Gallipoli shaped Churchill's approach to D-Day. Logistics played a critical role in the D-Day operation. Churchill navigated complex relationships with Roosevelt and Stalin. By 1945, Churchill recognized the decline of the British Empire. The post-war world saw a shift in power dynamics favoring the US. Churchill emphasized the importance of maintaining relationships with the US. By 1945, Britain's global influence was significantly diminished. Churchill's hands-on approach sometimes interfered with military operations. His involvement in D-Day preparations was both frustrating and necessary. Churchill's desire to command on D-Day reflected his character. Post-D-Day, Churchill struggled with the changing military landscape. Churchill's dynamism and energy were key to his enduring legacy. The idea of an AI Churchill raises ethical concerns. Personal anecdotes reveal Churchill's complex personality and leadership style. Sound Bites "It's all luck that led me here." "Churchill's role in D-Day is often overlooked." "The scale of D-Day was unprecedented." "Integration of forces took time and effort." "Gallipoli taught Churchill valuable lessons." "Logistics were key to D-Day's success." "The British Empire was fading away by 1945." "The United States is now the dominant circle." "His interference was valid and useful at times." "The whole idea was complete madness." "Churchill's leadership changed after D-Day."

On this day in Tudor history, 24th January 1502, King Henry VII and King James IV of Scotland signed the Treaty of Perpetual Peace—a bold agreement to end centuries of conflict between England and Scotland.   This treaty promised "good, real, and sincere peace… to last all time coming" and was sealed with a royal marriage: Margaret Tudor and James IV.    But did this ambitious peace truly last? Just 11 years later, war erupted, and James IV met a tragic end at the Battle of Flodden. Yet, this treaty laid the groundwork for something extraordinary—the eventual Union of the Crowns in 1603.    What happened to this grand vision of peace? And how did it shape the future of England and Scotland? Dive into this fascinating story of diplomacy, war, and legacy.   Watch now to uncover the twists and turns of this pivotal moment in Tudor history!   #TudorHistory #TreatyOfPerpetualPeace #HenryVII #JamesIV #MargaretTudor #UnionOfTheCrowns #BattleOfFlodden #HistoricalEvents #OnThisDay

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the intense political activity at the turn of the 18th Century, when many politicians in London went to great lengths to find a Protestant successor to the throne of Great Britain and Ireland and others went to equal lengths to oppose them. Queen Anne had no surviving children and, following the old rules, there were at least 50 Catholic candidates ahead of any Protestant ones and among those by far the most obvious candidate was James, the only son of James II. Yet with the passing of the Act of Settlement in 1701 ahead of Anne's own succession, focus turned to Europe and to Princess Sophia, an Electress of the Holy Roman Empire in Hanover who, as a granddaughter of James I, thus became next in line to be crowned at Westminster Abbey. It was not clear that Hanover would want this role, given its own ambitions and the risks, in Europe, of siding with Protestants, and soon George I was minded to break the rules of succession so that he would be the last Hanoverian monarch as well as the first.WithAndreas Gestrich Professor Emeritus at Trier University and Former Director of the German Historical Institute in LondonElaine Chalus Professor of British History at the University of LiverpoolAnd Mark Knights Professor of History at the University of WarwickProducer: Simon TillotsonReading list:J.M.

Scholars are still uncovering information about Britain's involvement in the transatlantic slave trade and its era of slavery, piecing together how the wealth generated from these atrocities shaped the nation's history. For some descendants, this means just now learning about their families' roles in and benefits from these horrors. In Britain, a few horrified heirs and private institutions are stepping forward to make amends, but there are few models for what meaningful reparations or restorative justice could look like. Where do we go from here, and what would truly make a difference? In this conversation from the 2024 Aspen Ideas Festival, the three panelists bring personal and academic experience to this weighty conversation. Harvard historian Vincent Brown, British TV presenter and historian David Olusoga and former BBC journalist and reparations advocate Laura Trevelyan discuss the meaning and practical application of reparations and restorative justice. New York Times editor Dean Baquet moderates the talk and takes questions from the audience. aspenideas.org

Watts dates back to the late 19th century, when three architects banded together to start a company that made fabrics and decor for both the church and residential use. Over the course of the next 150 years, Watts' history would be intertwined with Britain's—it produced garments worn during the coronations of Edward VII, Elizabeth II and Charles III. Today, it's also a modern fabric and wallcoverings brand, sold to designers all over the world.On this episode of the podcast, host Dennis Scully speaks to Watts' creative director Fiona Flint and its managing director Marie Severine de Caraman Chimay (better known as “MS”) about how the company has survived a century and a half by staying nimble, the ups and downs of doing business in America, and how they walk the line between celebrating their history and looking to the future.This episode is sponsored by Four Hands and SuryaLINKSWatts 1874Dennis ScullyBusiness of Home

We left off with the shot heard round the world and we ate coming back into Lexington and Concord. While it is sorta known as the opening salvo of the Revolutionary War, it really wasn't. We had to have 2 continental congresses before we decides to declare independence. That is what started the Revolutionary War. A strongly worded letter to a pre-crazy King George III known as the Declaration of Independence. From then on the revolution was on. It didn't start out so hot, but eventually the Continental Army would find their footing under Washington&Co. Along with an assist by the French and Spanish the Colonies won their independence.

Sir Francis Drake (c. 1540 – 28 January 1596) was an English explorer and privateer best known for his circumnavigation of the world in a single expedition between 1577 and 1580. This was the first English circumnavigation, and second circumnavigation overall. He is also known for participating in the early English slaving voyages of his cousin, Sir John Hawkins, and John Lovell. Having started as a simple seaman, in 1588 he was part of the fight against the Spanish Armada as a vice-admiral.

First published in 1980, Between Dog and Wolf by Sasha Sokolov is one of the most acclaimed Russian novels of the twentieth century. But the book, with its dazzling wordplay, shifting-sand narration, and other literary pyrotechnics, has been tough for English-speaking audiences to appreciate. In this episode, Jacke talks to Jose Vergara about his new project, The Encyclopedia of the Dog, an online bilingual digital version of Sokolov's novel, which seeks to make a literary masterwork accessible to new audiences. Then Jacke talks to Gareth Russell (The Palace: From the Tudors to the Windsors, 500 Years of British History at Hampton Court) about his choice for the last book he will ever read.
