Special Guest Gareth Russell on the Earl of Tyrone

People You Should Know From History | HAD Series 4 | Episode 8

For the final episode of this series, we were joined for a live show by special guest; historian and author, Gareth Russell who talked about his candidate for a person from history we should all know about, the Earl of Tyrone.

Traitor, rebel or disaffected loyalist? Gareth tells us the story of Hugh O’Neill, Earl of Tyrone, and it is jaw droppingly “how do we not know more about this person?!” The story goes beyond the personal to the national and reaches from the 16th century arguably to the present day. This is one not to miss!

We will be back on 18th June with the first episode of our next series, ‘Myths.’
