History: Some Medieval Kings and Queens of England…with Dr. Mark Barnard
According to legend, after the death of their native-born and last prince, Llewelyn The Last, Edward I promised the Welsh a prince born in Wales, who could speak no English. Not long after he presented them with his first-born son – the first Prince of Wales. Next, he relentlessly attempted to subdue Scotland, but died before doing so. Meanwhile, Richard II’s reign has been described by Shakespeare as one of England’s worse whilst that of Henry V as one of England’s finest.
But should Shakespeare’s portrayals be challenged, or are they closer to the truth than some have suggested?
Providing a brief overview of England’s medieval rulers, this course traces how the reigns of six Plantagenets and their wives have helped shaped the country in their struggles with each other, Parliament, France and Scotland.

History: 350th Anniversary of the Royal Observatory
This Saturday Lecture traces the creation and development of the Royal Observatory at Greenwich through its long and eventful existence. We consider why the Observatory came into existence, what contributions it has made both in terms of scientific knowledge and in the history of our island nation and why it continues to hold a fascination for people. We will explore the advances in navigation, cartography and timekeeping made under the Observatory’s direction and consider some of the great personalities associated with it, John Flamsteed and John Harrison among them. Finally, we will consider the Observatory as it appears in Cultural History and reflect on its current incarnation.

History: Women, Queenship and Power in Medieval England
In this talk, we will explore attitudes towards women in the Middle Ages, especially to women as rulers. In the Middle Ages, just one woman – the Empress Matilda, daughter of King Henry I – inherited a claim to the English throne. Yet, on her father’s death, her cousin, Stephen, seized control of England, so that Matilda was never crowned as queen. For many medieval people, the idea of a woman ruling in her own right was foreign to contemporary minds. We will look at why this was and why queens consort, such as Matilda of Boulogne, King Stephen’s wife, and Eleanor of Aquitaine, King Henry II’s wife, represented more acceptable (if still occasionally controversial) figures of female political power.
