Dr David Starkey reveals how the story of British music was shaped by its monarchy. In this first episode, he begins with kings who were also composers, Henry V and Henry VIII, and the golden age of English music they presided over. He discovers how the military and religious ambitions of England's monarchy made its music the envy of Europe, and then brought it to the brink of destruction - and why British music still owes a huge debt to Queen Elizabeth I.
