Episode 115: A Conversation with Tony Riches on Charles Brandon Dec 14, 2018

Show notes

If you're like me, you may have had a rather questionable opinion of Charles Brandon. I'll admit it, he hasn't ranked high in my estimation. But historical fiction author Tony Riches - whose work I love - has just written a new book on Charles Brandon, and so we chatted about this Tudor Knight. And I have broadened my opinion of Charles Brandon.

Episode 111: Early American Exploration, and the Lost Colony of Roanoke Oct 13, 2018

Show notes

How was the Lost Colony of Roanoke related to the Spanish Armada? What about those First Americans who made nice with the colonists, and even went back to London? This episode deals with early American exploration, and the Lost Colony of Roanoke, which was settled (and disappeared) 20 years before Jamestown. It was the equivalent of the Elizabethan Apollo Program.

Episode 110: Arthur Tudor Sep 29, 2018

Show notes

Arthur Tudor was a Tudor prince who we often think of just in terms of his death. When we do talk about him in life, it's often about whether he consummated his marriage. But there was more to Arthur than that. And after having read a biography of him, I decided to do a complete episode on the boy whose shadow hung over much of the Tudor dynasty, and who helps give us a better understanding of the early Tudor dynasty.
