History

The tale of Henry I’s White Ship has it all: an arrogant prince, drunk partying, heartless backstabbing,  internecine violence – hubris, irony, tragedy, drama. On the 900th anniversary of the shipwreck, historians Charles Spencer and Dan Jones join the How To Academy to retell this extraordinary and bloody story. It is an unmissable feast for fans of epic storytelling and history alike.
