He begins with Richard II, who cultivated the first truly artistic court in England. Painters, sculptors, poets, tailors, weavers and builders flocked there to make their fortunes, but these were dangerous times, and getting close to Richard brought many to a sticky end.
Featuring contributions by David Tennant and Clarissa Dickson-Wright.'

Stephen Smith described this series on Twitter as 'huge shoes, codpieces, David Tennant, ice cream - oh and some great art!'
