Episode description

Willy Willy Harry Stee, Harry Dick John Harry Three, One Two Three Neds, Richard Two, Henry's Four Five Six.........then who?


King Edward IV that's who!


The tale of bloody battles continues as Edward returns for a second stab at the crown as Charlie Higson makes sense of civil wars and the struggle for ultimate power.


This episode's proper historian is James Hawes, author of The Shortest History Of England.


Plus! A special guest historian returns as Helen Castor brings us the sad postscript to the incredible Margaret Of Anjou


You can read more about Edward by popping to the bookshop, or going online and buying what can only be described as 'The Book Of The Podcast'. Willie WIllie Harry Stee is available now, with illustrations by Jim Moir and words by our very own Charlie Higson.
