July 30th talk – William Herbert by Katie Dungate

This month sees a talk about one of the pivotal characters in the first half of Edward IV’s reign. Sir William Herbert was Edward’s trusted “master lock” who held Wales for him and ended the siege of Harlech. The first Welshman who broke into the English peerage on merit, his death after Edgcote dealt Edward’s regime a serious blow. Katie Dungate has researched his career as part of her Masters Degree, and will take him through his convoluted and controversial career.
