The Sword of Monmouth tells the extraordinary story of King Charles I Prince of Wales sword and how it was handed down to King Charles II and then onto his eldest son the Duke of Monmouth. After the disastrous defeat at the Battle of Sedgemoor, the sword was first hidden in a haystack, then discovered centuries later as a prop in a pantomime.
Hugo Vickers is well known as a biographer, lecturer and broadcaster, and is an acknowledged expert on the Royal Family. He is always called upon to commentate on important state occasions, and at times when the Royal Family are in the news. He has covered events from the first wedding of the Prince of Wales, the funerals of Diana, the Queen Mother, Prince Philip, and Queen Elizabeth II and many royal weddings. The Financial Times recently described him as: ‘the most knowledgeable royal biographer on the planet.’ When not writing or broadcasting, he travels through the Commonwealth and Overseas Territories, establishing Commonwealth Walkways, and as such has visited many countries from Australia, New Zealand and Canada, to the Cook Islands, the Falklands and, as he puts it, was once obliged to spend seven weeks touring the Caribbean.
