Spotlight on History Roadshow, created by Jon Marshall

 

You don’t have to be a history buff to enjoy the adventures showcased on the History Roadshow’s YouTube channel.

Kings, Queens, Battles, Murder, and Mayhem, as never seen before. Discover what the textbooks failed to reveal. Whoever said history is boring never ran into Henry Tudor, ask any one of his many wives.

And let’s not forget the intriguing questions appearing on the Community Page on Teaser Tuesdays. Multiple choice possibilities, so you don’t have to scratch your head while doing an internet search. You do know which title Pope Leo X awarded Henry VIII in 1521 (Answer: Defender of the Faith – but you already know that. Easy, right?)

So, you are new to the site and not sure where to start. No worries. Check out the playlists where history is uncovered. What about Robert Dudley, possessed jealous lover? That got your attention, didn’t it?

I am attaching one of my favorite clips to whet your appetite.

Spotlight on History Enthusiast Jon Marshall – actor, director, producer - History Roadshow

Jon Marshall has been interested in cinematography since his early years, having been a member of an 8 mm club in his home city of Sheffield, Yorkshire. His artistic expression in film and an insatiable love of history led to the creation of History Roadshow, providing video tours of English Heritage and National Trust properties showcased on YouTube.

Initially, chosen locations held personal memories of past visits, but public interest expanded his vision to include the myriad of sites throughout the United Kingdom. His membership with English Heritage and the National Trust gave him access to every location in the country, comprising a large catalog of famous and not so famous places of interest.

Recently, Jon decided to leave directing, embarking on an actor’s career to narrate the series personally. His work includes Conquest, Crown, and Charter. A trilogy of videos starting with the reign of William the Conqueror through that of King John and Magna Carta.

Jon’s latest endeavor includes another trilogy of videos, The Six Mothers in Law of Henry VIII.
