Young & Legendary: Alice Loxton reveals how historical figures lived at 18

Today, I'm thrilled to welcome one of my favorite historians, Alice Loxton, to the castle. We discuss her fascinating book 'Eighteen', which delves into the lives of historical figures when they were 18 years old. Alice shares her passion for medieval history and reveals how @history_alice came into being. We explore her unique approach to writing, imagining historical characters in modern settings to bring them to life. I was particularly intrigued by her diverse selection of characters, from Bede to Vivienne Westwood, and how she makes history accessible and engaging for everyone. 00:22 Exploring Historical Layers 01:04 The Book 'Eighteen' and Its Unique Approach 04:13 Diverse Historical Figures 09:49 Social Media and History 18:04 Writing and Research Process 25:37 Future Plans You can hear more episodes of Lady Carnarvon's Official Podcasts at New episodes are published on the first day of every month.
