Summary

The 1650s were the only years in history when Britain was a republic. Charles I had been executed, the monarchy was abolished and the House of Lords dismissed. But what came next? How could stability be restored when people disagreed over what they had been fighting for in the first place?

In the first of two fascinating episodes, Professor Suzannah Lipscomb delves deep into this turbulent decade with Professor Alice Hunt, author of Republic: Britain's Revolutionary Decade, 1649 to 1660.

Presented by Professor Susannah Lipscomb. The researcher is Alice Smith and the producer is Rob Weinberg. The senior producer is Anne-Marie Luff.
