Arise, England - Caroline Burt & Richard Partington

Pembroke History Fellow Dr Caroline Burt and her co-author Richard Partington (St John's) will be talking about their new book, 'Arise England: Six Kings and the Making of the English State', at Heffers.

Caroline and Richard use the six Plantagenet kings who ruled between 1199 and 1399 to explore England’s emergent statehood. Their talk will draw on original accounts and arresting new research, resonances between government, international relations, and the abilities, egos and ambitions of political actors, then and now. Colourful and complicated, and by turns impressive and hateful, the six kings stride through the story; but arguably the greatest character is the emerging English state itself.
