"Freedom of speech wasn't won by being nice, it has been won by struggle with religion."
David Starkey is a British historian, author, and broadcaster, best known for his work on Tudor history and the British monarchy. His early career was in academia as a lecturer in International History at the LSE before he went on to pursue a career in television and radio. His work has appeared on Channel 4 and the BBC Moral Maze to name a few outlets.
He is known for his outspoken views on British politics and culture; his convictions have put him at the centre of contemporary British cultural issues. He is also the bestselling author of many books including Henry: Model of a Tyrant and Magna Carta: The True Story Behind the Charter.
"Starkey turns even the more bureaucratic elements of history-making into a series of cliffhangers." — The Independent
