Notas del episodio
The Story returns with an episode that examines one of London’s loveliest folklore tales- the tale of Dick Whittington and his cat; beloved of pantomimes and children’s books, This week we peer behind the scenes to look at the actual events in London behind the elevation of this man to Mayor of the City… and the dangerous political climate he found himself in.
A tale of an increasingly erratic king, members of the royal family being smothered to death with a mattress, a shocking wedding, show trials in Westminster, a royal posse racing across the English countryside in the middle of the night and more; welcome to the harsh truth behind the myth.
