80. Charles Spencer (2019)

THE LAST CAVALIER: PRINCE RUPERT OF THE RHINE Described as ‘half man, half devil’ by the Parliamentarians, Prince Rupert of the Rhine, Charles I’s nephew and commander of the Royalist forces in exile, was truly a man of two halves. Although nicknamed Prince Robber and renowned as a brutal general, dashing cavalier and Royalist pirate, Charles Spencer reveals the hidden side of Prince Rupert. He was a scientist, classical scholar and respected statesman too: a true Renaissance prince. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Learn more about your ad choices.
