Talk at Leicester Guildhall by Mark Turnbull, an author specializing in the 17th Century.
King Charles I is one of our most polarising monarchs, most often portrayed as a murderer or martyr.
375 years ago, he was executed outside of his palace in central London, following a bloody civil war.
Find out more about this overlooked period and the man at its epicenter, as well as how his reputation has fared in the centuries since his death.

Tickets £5.00 per person
Mark's newest publication is 'Charles I's Private Life', Mark will be happy to sign copies of the book after the talk.
