A spokesman for Markenfield Hall said: “Between 1154 and 1291, the Plantagenet queens of England played a role in some of the most dramatic events in our history.

“Join us, via Zoom, on Friday 16 July at 2pm when Alison Weir will guide us through the years of chivalry, dynastic ambition, conflict that defines this period of medieval history.”
