Welcome to the homepage of HistoryExtra's royal history newsletter. I’m Jon Bauckham, production editor at BBC History Magazine, and I’ve long held a fascination with Britain’s kings and queens and the stories of monarchies around the world.
Each fortnight I’ll be bringing you the very best royal history content from across the HistoryExtra website, covering everything from the wives of Henry VIII to the life of Queen Elizabeth II. But I won’t just be focusing on household names: I’ll be shining a spotlight on the lives of lesser-known historical figures too, as well as the customs of rulers in ancient Egypt, India, China and beyond.
Sign up now and you’ll receive a free update from me every two weeks, packed with articles, quizzes, videos and podcast episodes. You’ll also be treated to behind-the-scenes insights into the latest goings on here at HistoryExtra, including details of special subscriber offers. Why not give it a try today?
