S3E50 - Book Companion - Stephen & Matilda

The saga continues as Charlie Higson brings you the story of Stephen & Matilda.

When Henry I died, the crown should have fallen to his daughter, the Empress Matilda.

BUT

Charlie's proper historian guest is Cath Hanley author of Matilda: Empress, Queen, Warrior.
