The History of England

137 The Battle of Shrewsbury

The issue at Shrewsbury was who would rule England - Henry IVth or the Mortimers and Percies. <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheHistoryOfEngland?a=7dibIrQL2tY:NKlKDkQX4do:yIl2AUoC8zA"></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheHistoryOfEngland?a=7dibIrQL2tY:NKlKDkQX4do:63t7Ie-LG7Y"></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheHistoryOfEngland?a=7dibIrQL2tY:NKlKDkQX4do:qj6IDK7rITs"></a> Hosted on Acast.

This my re-telling of the story of England, which is a regular, chronological podcast, starting from the end of Roman Britain. There are as many of the great events I can squeeze in, of course, but I also try to keep an eye on how people lived, their language, what was important to them, the forces that shaped their lives and destinies, that sort of thing.
