What you need to know
Historian, author and podcaster, Matt Lewis, will be joining us to discuss what really happened in 1483! That critical and turbulent year when we had three Kings of England: Edward IV, Edward V and Richard III. Was a crown ruthlessly snatched or was it rested upon the rightful heir? Were two nephews cruelly locked up and even murdered? There will be an opportunity to ask questions at the end and get your books signed by Matt as well.
Speaker:
Matt Lewis is a British historian and author specializing in the medieval period, with a particular focus on the Wars of the Roses and Richard III. He is a Senior Presenter at History Hit and a co-host of the podcast Gone Medieval. Matt is also the author of numerous historical books and maintains a history blog, all of which we highly recommend!
