This past Sunday I had the great honour, once again, to debate the fate of the Princes in the Tower with my two mates, Matthew Lewis and Nicola Tallis. We have spent many hours in each others company over the years, and though we share different views on the princes, we do enjoy each other’s company. History is cool, and it’s much cooler when sharing it with your friends.
After the discussion, as an EXCLUSIVE for my substackers (TEAM VERA!), I asked them to sit down for a quick chat. It’s my first time ever asking the questions rather than answering them, so I hope it’s good listening.
So, welcome to THE HISTORY SIT-DOWN! And don’t forget to buy their work! Finally, if you enjoyed, comment below and share.
