A great example of one of their podcasts, casting light on all those areas of this critical period, mystifyingly under taught, even in Britain!

Ironically the core of the fleet Blake had was provided by the Ship Money collected by Charles I to provide naval defence for English shipping against the Dunkirkers and other prirates.

This one is excellent! The impact of the 30 Years and civil wars, plus no alternative redress through the loss of the court of Chivalry and the Star Chamber, on violence. Treat yourself to a listen, or if you can't do that maybe read the transcript. Another book for my TBR!

This claims to be balanced but is horrifically biased! For example it says "Charles...declared war on Parliament by raising the Royal standard at Nottingham in August 1642." But fails to mention that Paliment had an army of 15k men under Essex marching against him when he did so!
