This podcast looks at anything and everything to do with the War of the three Kingdoms.
In this episode I speak to Colonel Nick Lipscombe, whose new book (published by Osprey) has just been released. An Atlas and Concise History of the Wars of the Three Kingdoms maps the various sieges and battles that took place in England and Wales, Scotland and Ireland and is the first book to map the wars in their entirety. Nick discusses:

The most pivotal actions in each kingdom
What the mapping of the actions revealed about the commanders involved
How his perceptions of the wars were changed by his research

He also discusses battle formations, the first-hand resources still available and just how he went about tackling this project.

To find out more about the civil war, you can read various articles relating to it on my blog: http://www.allegianceofblood.com
