Rugby School welcomes Dr Helen Castor
Last night, Rugby School welcomed prize-winning historian and author Dr Helen Castor as part of the Headmaster’s Lecture Series.
Dr Castor spoke about her book The Eagle and the Hart: The Tragedy of Richard II and Henry IV, which was shortlisted for the Wolfson History Prize. The evening was a great success and concluded with a question-and-answer session, followed by a book signing in partnership with local bookseller Hunt’s Bookshop.
Our thanks to Dr Castor for joining us.
