Don't just buy the newest books. All your favourite authors have excellent back catalogues of works they spent years on. Make sure you pick up those as well (and even better, they tend to be cheaper paperbacks by this point). Older history has value too.

Everyone enjoyed our Origins of the Tudors online course Nicola Tallis and I decided to go again. Coming this January:

🌹🏵️ 'THE WARS OF THE ROSES: POWER AND PERSONALITIES' ⚔️🤺

Tickets now available on my website, places strictly limited.

If you missed my live Q&A on Substack with @nathenamin.bsky.social earlier, you can now watch the recording on Substack! Thanks Nathen for inviting me to chat with you.

This Saturday afternoon I return to the glorious medieval Commandery in Worcester. The topic? That problematic year of 1483 - expect Princes in the Tower, Richard III, and a whole heap of controversy and conspiracy. Come along.

An abundance of wine, three courses of exquisite French cuisine, and a bit of Welsh history thrown into the mix during the post-dessert coffee... I've had worse nights. Paris, merci beaucoup 🫶🏾🙏🏾

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🤝🇫🇷 What a treat it was last night to be the guest at Paris Welsh Society's Cinio Glyndwr/Glyndwr Dinner. Of course, the topic of my post-dinner talk was the legendary figure himself. Plenty of footage was taken during the talk which I'll be uploading soon to my YouTube channel.

A bientot, Paris ♥️

Paris, are you ready for some history tonight? Looking forward to speaking for the Paris Welsh Society 🇫🇷🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿.

When you buy a little gadget because you've decided making little impromptu history videos is fun. Coming soon to my YouTube channel and my Substack newsletter.

I'm currently en route to Paris, and taking the time to begin writing my new talk "Henry VII: Power and Propaganda", which I'll debut on Wednesday 12 November for Westminster Abbey. I think it's going to be informative and enlightening.

Diolch

A beautiful piece about a little known Welsh hero. I urge yers to it read. And if possible to visit Llandovery and it’s Castell, on the mound of which, this haunting and moving statue stands. Diolch yn fawr @nathenamin.bsky.social . Bendigedig brawd.

It was yes, the London Welsh Centre.

On this day in 1401, Henry IV had a wine-loving Welsh landowner put to death in Llandovery. This is the story of how one brave man 'willingly preferred death to treachery’, for which he is commemorated today with a haunting statue. Available to read now. Link in bio.

Genuine guy eating full fish and chips on eastbound Central Line is WILD. Never switched carriage after one stop so quickly in my life. That's the kind of insane boldness that brings civilisations down.

Diolch London Welsh for allowing me to speak to you about Owain Glyndwr, "the sole head of the Welsh" as he was called during his lifetime. Until next time.

Tonight I will be in London Welsh Centre in the heart of London giving a talk 'Owain Glyndwr: Rebel, Prince, Visionary'. The talk is 7pm and there's a cheap bar with all your Welsh favourites. Everyone is welcome, Welsh or otherwise 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿.

Has anyone visited the French National Archives in Paris? I'm thinking of visiting Friday to see Glyndwr's letter but can't work out how to go about this.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Wales are playing England in London this week, so what better occasion than to be speaking about Owain Glyndwr in London Welsh Centre tomorrow night. Come and learn about the Welsh visionary who took the fight to the English crown.

New on the Writer’s Bookshelf: eight questions about writers, books, and reading with the wonderful @nathenamin.bsky.social.

I thoroughly enjoyed being part of Mathew Lyons's 'The Writers Bookshelf' series, delving into my reading past and present. And yes, I did love the Guinness Book of World Records as a child.

Coming tomorrow to my newsletter, I take a look at a remarkable figure who buried two queens - Old Scarlett. Make sure you're following to get this post directly in your inboxes first thing.

Warwick, as always you were a delight. An engaged and friendly audience who have sold out for me four years running. And we all agreed that Margaret Beaufort gets criticised for what her contemporary men get praised for and it's deeply irksome. See you next year?
