The Red Bull of Flodden

On this day in history, 25 November 1467, Thomas Dacre was born; a man who rose from the turbulent Anglo-Scottish border to become one of Tudor England’s most influential northern magnates.

Soldier, strategist, landowner, and power-broker… his story is far richer than the brief mentions he usually gets in the history books.

From a dramatic marriage to a pivotal role in one of Henry VIII’s greatest military moments, Dacre helped shape politics and warfare far from the royal court.

Join me as I explore the life of a man who deserves far more attention than he gets.
