Summary

This is the audio of Leanda de Lisle's talk at the 2019 Tudor Summit talking about Charles I, The White King (so the audio isn't the best). His story is the natural fulfillment of the story of the Tudors, of the Reformation that Henry VIII set into motion a century before. It's interesting that the Tudors dynasty was bookended by civil war on either sides of it, and understanding why Charles met the fate he did is crucial to understanding the impact of the Tudor policies.

0:28.9	coming of King James was runner-up for the Salter Society's first book of the year award.

0:59.5	the dynasty and a Sunday Times top 10 bestseller, and her latest book, Winter King,
1:04.6	is a biography of Charles I and his loss of three kingdoms. Based on her new manuscript discoveries, with many never-before-seen royal letters,
1:13.3	it describes a brave king who, like the tragic heroes of Greek myth,
1:17.8	falls not because of wickedness, but because of human flaws and misjudgment.

1:45.7	So welcome to Leanda Delisle, who is going to share with us lots of new information about Charles I. And I think that's one of the first
