The Power behind the Throne focuses on those individuals or organisations that held the real power behind the state over time. From Parliament challenging the power of the Monarchy, the mistresses that held the control of the powerful, how secrets could bring down the elite and how the military wielded the sword of power.

As always we have gathered the finest historians writing about their specialist fields including:

Lauren Johnson (Shadow King), Matthew Lewis (Richard III: Loyality binds me), Helen Carr (HistoryHit: Hidden Histories), Debbie Kilroy (GetHistory) and many more.

Join us for this journey as we ask, who was the real Power behind the Throne?
