Hi Dan. If my memory serves me correctly you referred to Edward I a "psychopath" on the first episode of Season 4 of This Is History. Isn't this a bit harsh? Was he really much worse than many other medieval kings?
Do you think not having a PhD has had any impact on your work? Have you encountered snobbery from academia because of it? Would you have enjoyed university teaching or found the need to specialise too limiting? Cheers.
My question is about the cutting of the elm at Gisor. Do we know where this tree stood? Also I don't want to go into the weeds of conspiracy theories but is there any historical evidence for a religious group similar to the knights templar called the Priory of Sion?
It's St David's Day on the 1st of March. Could you tell us any info about the day or why it's celebrated? Alternatively, could you tell us some piece of interesting Welsh history?
Are you doing any history festivals this summer in England? If not which do you recommend? I'm coming over from Florida and hoping to get the most bang for my historical buck. Also are excited to check out Salt Lake City? I'm so bummed I have a prior engagement 😵💫🥴
Hi Dan. When writing a book about a topic that may be well-written about, for example Henry V (🔌), how do you approach your writing to say something new?
Hey Dan. In your Battle of Shrewsbury documentary you said prince hal set off from London with his father Henry IV to meet the Percies. But was not the prince settled within the city at that time, shrewsbury being his headquarter against Glyndwr?
I recently heard one of my favorite historians say she believes Henry VIII is one of the most misunderstood - if not THE most misunderstood - of all English kings. What sayest thou?
Hey Dan. Have you any recommendations on books about the history of Wales?
Hi Dan I hope you're well,
who in your opinion is the most underrated king or queen and who in your opinion is the most overrated?
Thank you.
Hi Dan -
Following the Crusades - what innovations were brought back from the Holy Land?
Did the Crusaders themselves bring any - which were subsequently adopted by the enemy?

Now that the trilogy is done.
What will the next historical book be that you will write (after the wolves 🐺 ofcourse)?
Are there other periods in history you would like to write about?

I'm visiting London for 7 days. My 1st trip to Europe. What's in London or around London I should check out history wise.
One question, just finished Wolves last night and: How could you?!😭💔💔💔💔

Do you believe George, brother of Edward IV, was as bad as history portrays him or do you believe he was easily manipulated by others?
