Discussing the formidable Charlotte, Countess of Derby, a true civil war Virago, at the excellent Derby Women study day at #Knowsley. Quite something to do this standing within a few feet of her husband’s execution stool. 😬

No-one loved a new jacket more than James, Duke of #Monmouth, & here he is, #TheLastRoyalRebel, in a fetching blue cover. If you liked #TheRestlessRepublic then this shd be next - a rollercoaster from Restoration to ‘Glorious’ Revolution via the 1685 invasion. @BloomsburyBooks
