CavalierCast - The Civil War in Words
The 17th Century War of the Three Kingdoms was a momentous period in our history, and one which is extremely overshadowed and under-explored. CavalierCast is dedicated to bringing you informative podcasts covering anything and everything civil war related, discussing topics with a great variety of guests; academics, archaeologists, authors, curators, re-enactors, and TV stars.
Historian Mark Turnbull (producer and host of the show) has been fascinated with it since the age of ten. A Fellow of the Royal Historical Society, he has written biographies of King Charles I and Prince Rupert.

Episode 13 - Part 2: Henrietta Maria, Queen Mother.
This podcast looks at anything and everything to do with the Wars of the Three Kingdoms.
In this episode I speak to the excellent historian and anthropologist Andrea Zuvich about Queen Henrietta Maria's years post 1649. It is the second of a two-part episode.
Andrea sheds light on Henrietta's exile, her relations with her children and the Restoration of the Monarchy in 1660.
- How did the family react to Henrietta's attempts to convert her son, Henry, to Catholicism?
- What were Henrietta's thoughts about Cromwell's death and the Restoration?
- Why didn't she stay very long in Restoration England?
