I speak with Professor Cordelia Beattie about the remarkable manuscripts penned by Alice Thornton, a Yorkshire woman who lived through many key events of the 17th century. Though from a well-to-do family, she wasn't rich, and the war affected her in many ways. Cordelia and The Alice Thornton Project are studying Alice's memoirs, interpreting them, and making them available online. There are also public events planned that will bring the stories within them to life. ▪️ Find out more about the life of a woman during these turbulent times. ▪️ Why did Alice write about her life? ▪️ How did a local pub in Ludlow lead to the rediscovery of her forgotten memoirs? This podcast looks at anything and everything to do with the Wars of the Three Kingdoms, which is very much an overlooked part of our history. Hopefully CavalierCast can help change that. To find out more about the wars, you can read various articles relating to it on my blog: http://www.1642author.com Please do subscribe to CavalierCast on Apple Podcasts and review it to help spread the word!  You can keep on touch with me on Twitter (@1642author) and Facebook (www.Facebook.com/markturnbullauthor).
