The story of the only British prime minister to be assassinated + the murder of Cambridge's first professor of history
Spencer Perceval is the only British Prime Minister to have been assassinated. Here's the story of how he was gunned down in the Houses of Parliament in 1812. And here too is the tale of how Cambridge University's first professor of history was murdered in The Hague. I was in conversation with Andy Lake of BBC Radio Cambridgeshire about my book, 'Assassins' Deeds'. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmVpdaV5fk8
