A New History of the Fourteenth Century with Helen Carr

The fourteenth-century is one of the most turbulent periods in European history. Famine, war, plague, royal depositions – you name it, this century’s got it. This week, Danièle speaks with Helen Carr about how England fared in these wild times, what her take is on some famous Plantagenets, and why we need to take a fresh look at this calamitous century. Helen Carr is an award nominated writer, historian specialising in medieval history and public history. Her new book is Sceptred Isle: A new history of the fourteenth century. The creator and host of The Medieval Podcast is Danièle Cybulskie.
