Cruel king Henry

The October issue is now in the shops.

This month we examine the reputation of Henry V, hero of Agincourt and reveal his darker side. We also take a look at the 5th century BC in Greece, a period that has been neglected by historian. Plus we've got features on the Spanish conquest of the Aztecs, Medieval leprosy, chivalry and the early modern battle against Witches. You can read interviews with Andrew Marr and Melvyn Bragg as well as a provocative piece on history education written by Terry Deary, author of the Horrible History series.

I hope you enjoy the magazine and please let us know your thoughts on our forum.
