B y 1445, William de la Pole, Duke of Suffolk was clearly Henry's most trusted adviser. He faced a difficult task - to steer a bankrupt nation into the harbor of peace. Avoiding the ship of France trying to sink her on the way in. Would they make it?
In this episode we are lucky enough to have another Weekly Word from Kevin Stroud, author of the History of English Podcast. If you like it, why not go the whole hog, and visit his website, The History of English Podcast.
Also you might want to look at the rather touching letter from William de la Pole, Duke of Suffolk to his eight year old son, John. - it's on the website here.
This may be what you're looking for.

When the new podcast on the Anglo Saxons is available, should we expect to read about it here and/or hear about it in the podcast?
