DAN JONES
18th September 2024, 7:30pm
Join us on Wednesday 18th September for a special evening event with author, historian and broadcaster Dan Jones as part of the book tour for his newest biography, ‘Henry V’.


Henry V reigned over England for only nine years and four months, but he looms over the landscape of the late Middle Ages and beyond. For Dan Jones, Henry is one of the most intriguing characters in all medieval history, but one of the hardest to pin down. He was a hardened warrior, yet also creative and artistic. He was a leader who made many mistakes, yet always seemed to triumph when it mattered. In foreign diplomacy, he made England a serious player once more. Yet through his conquests in northern France, he sowed the seeds for three generations of calamity at home, in the form of the Wars of the Roses.

"This is a biography I have been waiting many years to write. Henry V was considered the pinnacle and paragon of medieval kingship in his own time – and for centuries thereafter... As a study of leadership in a time of crisis, his story seems especially meaningful right now."

Following the talk, Dan will be available to answer questions from the audience and sign copies of ‘Henry V’.
