罗伯特•哈钦森是英国国家通讯社的防务记者，后成为《简氏防务周刊》的出版总监，负责图书、报刊出版和电子出版。哈钦森同时是一位充满热情的历史学家和考古学家。他是伦敦古文物协会会员、苏塞克斯大学教会考古学方面的助理导师、宗教改革时期考古学专家，在2008年新年受勋名册上被授予英帝国勋章。 哈钦森相信英国历史中的真实故事比任何电视节目或银幕作品都更富戏剧性和感染力。在他获得高度赞誉的作品如“都铎王朝”系列中，他尽可能多地在探索研究中使用原始资料，因为“阅读人物自身在那个时代说出的特定语言，是十分有益的”。哈钦森拥有强大的叙事能力，“让叙事本身独立而纯粹”是哈钦森的写作理念，他的作品正文均一气呵成，不需要读者做出停顿，读之令人酣畅淋漓。
