Dive into the life and political journey of Colonel Edward Massie.

Richard Graham, former MP for Gloucester and founder Chairman of the Gloucester History Festival, tells me about the elusive Massie's move from Parliamentarian to Royalist and the factors that triggered it. Factors that also influenced many others after the king's defeat and the English Civil War came to an end in 1646 - when people considered 'what next'.

From Richard's childhood Cavalier King Charles spaniel - called Crispin - and political parallels to modern times (Brexit for one) do join us in a canter through the civil wars!

• Was Massie really prepared to hand Gloucester over to the king in 1643?
• Apart from his famous defence of Gloucester, what were Massie's other military experiences?
• In this, the 375th anniversary year of the 1651 Battle of Worcester, we discuss Massie's role and his failing at Upton Bridge.

CavalierCast podcast looks at anything and everything to do with the Wars of the Three Kingdoms, which is very much an overlooked part of our history. Hopefully CavalierCast can help change that.

SPECIAL THREE-PART SERIES - THE LOST KING & THE ROAD TO CIVIL WAR

Across three episodes, 46, 47, and 48, I'll be looking into the deep roots of the civil wars, focussing on Prince Henry Frederick Stuart, son and heir to King James VI/I. His untimely death in 1612 shocked the three kingdoms, and left his younger brother, Charles, as heir. Who was Henry, what were the expectations on him, and how might he have tackled the crucial issues that presented themselves at the death of King James in 1625?

PART 3, CROWN AND CRISIS

With Dr Steven Veerapen, Gareth Russell, and Professor Siobhan Keenan.

Our panel of 3 historians discuss the issues that faced the successor to King James VI/I and debate how, had Henry survived to become Henry IX, he might have dealt with them.

* Who would he have married?

* Would Parliament have refused him Tonnage and Poundage revenue?

* How would the old king's favourite, the Duke of Buckingham, have fared?

* Henry's attitude to religion.

* The Thirty Years War.

* Might the Wars of the Three Kingdoms have occurred?

• In what ways did he differ to his younger brother, Charles?
