He was published extensively on a wide range of aspects relating to Tudor government. Additionally, he writes for BBC History Magazine and History Today, contributes to radio and television programmes such as ‘Our Time’, and is a trustee of the Royal Armouries.

    About the event

    Henry VII’s court is often overshadowed by those of his Tudor successors. His great palaces at Richmond and Greenwich are lost and he had no Holbein or Hilliard to paint his courtiers. Yet this lecture will argue that his court was a vital centre of politics, government and cultural change and that we cannot understand his reign without looking at his court.
