'This Sceptred Isle', the definitive BBC History series, turns its attentions towards the incredibly powerful families which have wielded power behind the scenes for the past 1000 years. This fourth volume examines various powerful houses: the Cavendishes, the Comptons and the Russells; and relates tales of murderous plots, bloody battles, adulteries and shocking executions.
