About this Event

We are thrilled to welcome Helen Carr, in conversation with Pete Jackson, for what promises to be a truly special evening with one of the most exciting and authoritative voices in medieval history.

Her latest book, Sceptred Isle, is a major new history of the fourteenth century, the first to cover the entire period in over thirty years, offering a bold and fresh perspective on a time that shaped the course of England.

This is history at its most compelling: a century of kings and rebellion, war and plague, power and upheaval, brought vividly to life through gripping storytelling and a sharp, revisionist eye. Helen’s work combines serious scholarship with an accessible, narrative style that makes these turbulent years feel immediate, human and utterly absorbing.

A fellow of the Royal Historical Society, broadcaster and historian, Helen is known for bringing history to life with clarity, authority and energy, making this a must-attend event for anyone with a love of English history.

A landmark new history

Dramatic, vivid and deeply human storytelling

Perfect for readers of Dan Jones, Helen Castor and Alison Weir

Join us for a high-profile literary evening exploring one of the most fascinating and transformative centuries in our past.
