In a series of six programmes
Kenneth Hudson looks at the way we view history.
2: Historical Myths
Did Mary, Queen of Scots, really go to her execution dressed in scarlet? Was Oliver Cromwell an austere kill-joy, never happier than when defacing churches? Was Charles II the 'merry monarch' or the 'melancholy monarch'? How do we see Joan of Arc and who was the real Old King Cole?
