Lunchtime Talk: London in the English Civil War
About this Event
Minoo Dinshaw explores how the events of the English Civil War impacted London, driving divisions between friends and families. Drawing on his recent book Friends in Youth, learn about the life of Edward Hyde, a leading Royalist supporter and statesman who was later buried in Westminster Abbey, and his friend the Parliamentarian Bulstrode Whitelocke.
