Our Guest Podcast
Guest Historian Mark Turnbull’s childhood visit to Helmsley Castle, at the age of 10, provided the foundations of a passionate interest in the Wars of the three Kingdoms that has flourished ever since. An Associate Fellow of the Royal Historical Society, Mark has re-enacted battles of the period with the Sealed Knot, and enjoys bringing this period to life through works of fiction, while exploring it further in non-fiction. His biography of King Charles I called ‘Charles I’s Private Life’ deals with new evidence about the identity of his executioners, and is currently working on an entirely reworked biography of Prince Rupert. He also produces a podcast called 'CavalierCast - The Civil War in Words' which is the first (and longest running) podcast solely dedicated to the civil wars. It explores a variety of topics with leading historians and authors.
