Richard III and the boar badge: with Julian Humphrys

In this episode of History Gems, Dr Nicola Tallis is joined by historian, lecturer, battlefield guide and dedicated Southampton supporter Julian Humphrys, to discuss Richard III, his ascent to the throne, and a metal badge which gave vital clues to the true location of the Battle of Bosworth. Nicola and Julian also take a trip around the castles of the north, dig into Bosworth, and explore the use of the wild boar as an image in the 15th century.
