About this Event
Title: What Should Be Done With A Royal Assassin?
Speaker: Dr Bob Nicholson - Historian, Writer, and Broadcaster.
On a warm summer’s evening in June 1840, an excited crowd gathered outside of Buckingham Palace. They were hoping to witness one of the great sights of London – a public appearance from the young Queen Victoria. When she emerged, most of the spectators would cheer and wave, but one man had a very different greeting in mind – in his pockets were a pair of loaded pistols. This talk reveals the remarkable story of what happened next. It’s a dramatic tale of Victorian political intrigue, conspiracy theories, courtroom drama, and the thorny question of how we should deal with high-profile assassins.
Key Audience Takeaways:
- Hear the surprising story of a man who tried to assassinate a Queen
