Should any of you fancy a spot of medieval history about a malicious, grandiose, incompetent leader might I recommend this; #TheEagleandtheHart by #helencastor. It both slaps and bangs.

Bought on your recommendation!
Need it for a future project connected to a current hist-fic project and I need to know who I can kill without butterfly-effecting someone I’ll need later!
Thanks✌🏽👍🏽
Cover of Helen Castor's The Eagle and the Hart
I really didn't expect Henry V to be the reasonable one in this book
Richard II has some odd resonances to our current time, this is an interesting read if you're looking for medieval history
