53. Civil War! Lansdown Hill, Bath.

<p>In this podcast we’re travelling the sharp end of a war which ripped the British Isles apart.</p><br /><p>King Charles I went head to head with increasingly bold Parliamentarians. Bitter, internecine politics and deadly powerplays led to opposing armies being raised, and a bloody civil war swept across the whole of the British Isles. Families, neighbours and lifelong friends were pitted against each another as people were compelled to pick a side and face each other in the blood and gore of lethal combat.</p><br /><p>In the beautiful rolling hills of the west country, near the city of Bath, a brutal battle was fought that throws the personal tragedy of civil war into sharp relief - horror and heroism side by side with the intimate heartbreak of friends fighting against each other to the death. The battle of Lansdown Hill fought in 1643.</p><br /><p>Sign up to Neil Oliver on Patreon to help support this podcast and get exclusive access to New Videos Every Week.</p><p><a href="https://www.patreon.com/neiloliver" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.patreon.com/neiloliver</a></p><p>The series Instagram account is – Neil Oliver Love Letter</p><p><br /></p><hr /><p style="color: grey; font-size: 0.75em;"> Hosted on Acast.
