This lecture focuses on the interactions between Bohemia and the British Isles in the fifteenth century, including the transmission of texts and ideas between the two countries, Czech attempts to enlist support for their cause, and the often violent reactions of English rulers who denounced the Hussites as heretics and sought to crush them with military force.

The talk will present some of the lessons learned from working on a catalogue raisonné of European sculpture in the Royal Collection, which will be published by Royal Collection Trust in 2020.
