In the wait for season two, This is History Plus will be releasing interviews with some of Dan’s favourite historians, talking all things Plantagenet.

In this episode, Dan is joined by Tobias Capwell to talk about what it was really like to be a knight. Tobias, a seasoned jouster himself, and Curator of Arms and Armour at the Wallace Collection, discusses how knights trained and why the concept of chivalry became important in the twelfth century.
