The House of Romanov was the second dynasty, after the Rurik dynasty, to rule over Russia, which reigned from 1613 until the abdication of Czar Nicholas II on March 15, 1917, as a result of the February Revolution. British historian Simon Jonathan Sebag Montefiore joins Dan to chat about this Russian royal family.
Dan talks to Professor Christopher Gerrard and Julie Biddlecombe-Brown about the skeletons and the exhibition about their story.
Professor Anna Whitelock is an historian, author, broadcaster, royal commentator, Director of Centre for Public History, RHUL. Anna's latest book is entitled 'Elizabeth's Bedfellows: An Intimate History of the Queen's Court'.
Leanda de Lisle joined me on the podcast to discuss the history of the Tudor Crown.
