He'll be bringing history to life in a talk at Weymouth Library, Great George Street, Weymouth, on Saturday, April 6.
A Nation in Ruins features Corfe Castle in the Civil War and its owners Sir John and Lady Mary Bankes, staunch supporters of King Charles I.
Lady Bankes defended her home against overwhelming odds with the loyal backing of the villagers.
