Killers of the King – Earl Spencer lecture

Bestselling historian Charles Spencer, the 9th Earl Spencer, will tell the shocking stories and fascinating fates of the men who signed Charles I’s death warrant at a free lecture on 19 May.

His new book Killers of the King details a tale of revenge, pursuit and resistance and has been acclaimed for its deep archival research and pacy, riveting style. This is a great opportunity to hear Charles speak about this period of English history. A book signing will take place after the lecture. More details of the event are available here.

The event includes lecture with Q&A session (6.30pm); and post-lecture refreshments and book signing (7.30-8.30pm).

The lecture is free and open to all but spaces are limited and will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Please register in advance if you would like to attend by emailing events@nottingham.ac.uk and putting Earl Spencer Lecture in the subject line.

This event is hosted by the Department of History.
