Special Guest Gareth Russell on the Earl of Tyrone
For the final episode of this series, we were joined for a live show by special guest; historian and author, Gareth Russell talking about his candidate for a person from history we should all know about, the Earl of Tyrone.Traitor, rebel or disaffected loyalist? Gareth tells us the story of Hugh O’Neill, Earl of Tyrone, and it is jaw droppingly “how do we not know more about this person?!” The story goes beyond the personal to the national and reaches from the 16th century arguably to the present day. This is one not to miss!We will be back on 18th June with the first episode of our next series, ‘Myths.’History After Dark is reader-supported.

The Cheshire Bantams
At the outbreak of the 'Great War' Britain needed to recruit 1,000,000 men and yet, many fit, healthy and willing men were being turned away for the simple reason that they were too short! Alfred Bigland MP saw this as a massive waste and set about redressing this problem. From this the Cheshire Batams was established for men of short stature.History After Dark is reader-supported.
