Piers Gaveston & Hugh Despencer

  • Resumen

  • In this episode, Charlie Higson uncovers a bromance. In fact he uncovers TWO bromances, both involving King Edward II.


    If the names Piers Gaveston and Hugh Despencer don't mean anything to you now, listen on, for it is a tale of male bonding that ultimately ends in the death of two of the Kings best friends, people to whom he'd given way too much power.


    And what a death for one of them!


    Helping Charlie pick through the hanging, drawing and quartering is Helen Carr author of The Red Prince; The life of John Of Gaunt, Duke Of Lancaster as well as the forthcoming book Sceptred Isle, a new history of the 14th century.
