Episode notes
A bumper episode that focuses on the last, pathetic years of King Edward III; an increasingly isolated monarch, being controlled by cunning courtiers and his glamorous mistress causes a political miasma that leads to the most explosive parliament for decades.
But alongside this, London boiled as three, and then four, new political factions began to dominate the body politic; London became a place filled with violence and protest, ruthless deals, nepotism, alliances made and broken, and increasingly fraught risks. The opening salvo of a civil war that was to rock London to its core. Join us as we explore the first part of the Saga of the Jubilee of London.
