Intrigue and Loyalty: Jane Boleyn and the Tudor Royal Household Oct 24, 2024

Today, we revisit my conversation with Dr. James Taffe on the endlessly intriguing Jane Boleyn, Lady Rochford. After the execution of her husband, George Boleyn, and sister-in-law Anne in 1536, Jane skillfully navigated the dangerous waters of Tudor politics, securing a place in the households of each successive queen. But her involvement with Queen Katheryn Howard ultimately sealed her fate, leading to their executions in 1542. Jane’s life serves as a cautionary tale of the dangerous dance between power, loyalty, and ambition in the Tudor court.

Discovering Kateryn Parr at Sudeley Castle Sep 05, 2024

Sudeley Castle, the final home of Kateryn Parr and Thomas Seymour, carries a deep connection to their story. Granted to Thomas when he was created Baron Seymour of Sudeley by his nephew, Edward VI, in 1547, the castle became a place of both joy and sorrow. It was here that Parr passed away on September 5, 1548, shortly after giving birth to their daughter. Kateryn Parr is unique among Henry VIII's wives, as she is the only one to be honored with a magnificent tomb, complete with a stunning effigy. Discover more about the last place she called home and the events that unfolded after her passing.

George, an incredibly talented photographer, is someone I wish more people knew about.

My Chat with the Earl of Devon at Powderham Castle Jul 16, 2024

This was one of those surreal, pinch-me moments I experienced on my trip to England. It’s not every day you get the chance to interview a member of the peerage, and doing so in his own home was truly extraordinary—I can scarcely believe it happened, had I not captured it on video.

As the current Earl of Devon, Charlie Courtenay descends from a long line of Courtenay men who skillfully navigated history's challenges. Charlie, as he likes to be called, was an absolute delight to talk to about his family history and his current residence.

Buckfast Abbey and Saint Thomas More Jul 11, 2024

This episode is probably best if watched as a video on Spotify or YouTube, but should also make sense by listening. I'll include a link to the images discussed.

My Visit to Penshurst Place in Kent Jul 09, 2024

Before you critique my pronunciation of the name, I am merely repeating what those there said and it was confirmed online as well - yes, you pronounce the S. :)

This is a brief episode of one of the manor houses I visited during my first week in England. I interviewed Dr. Linda Porter at the café before doing a tour of the place myself. It is a beautiful place, and I will also share my pictures with you once I get them organized a bit better -be sure to head over to my website and subscribe so you can see all the pictures there. If you previously subscribed please do so again because I had to do a website change which removed all previous subscribers.

Empress Matilda, with all her rightful claim, seemed destined to become the first queen of England. However, her cousin Stephen, backed by the influential lords and barons, seized the opportunity from her grasp.

Katherine of Aragon, the first wife of King Henry VIII, left a profound and lasting legacy that goes far beyond her role as the mother of England's first queen regnant.

The Myths Surrounding Kateryn Parr Aug 09, 2023

As a queen consort of England, Kateryn Parr's history is often overshadowed by the events that allegedly occurred between her husband and Lady Elizabeth. The Victorian historians didn't help her reputation either. Agnes Strickland's Lives of the Queens of England depicts Parr as having an 'unrivaled skill as a nurse'.

Today I am joined by Dr. Linda Porter to get a feel for the real Kateryn Parr. Dr. Porter responds to many of the myths about Parr, as well as interesting stories about her life.

Wives of James V: Madeleine of Valois and Marie of Guise (Queens Series) Apr 27, 2023

Today, I am once again joined by the fabulous Dr. Linda Porter to discuss two queens consort - Madeleine of Valois and Marie of Guise.

Madeleine of Valois was the first wife of King James V of Scotland. Their marriage was arranged as part of a political alliance between Scotland and France. However, Madeleine's time as queen was tragically short-lived – she died just six months after their marriage, leaving James heartbroken.

Mary of Guise was James V's second wife and the mother of his successor, Mary, Queen of Scots. She was a noblewoman from a powerful French family who had extensive political and diplomatic experience. Mary of Guise played a crucial role in protecting her young daughter's throne.

Part Two - Misunderstood Queens: Dispelling the Myths Mar 16, 2023

Here is the second part to the last episode!

Powerful queens throughout history have often been misunderstood and reduced to stereotypes, as they were judged through biased lenses that distorted their actions and motivations. By examining their lives, we can dispel these myths and gain a better understanding of their true character and legacy. Women like Empress Matilda and Eleanor of Aquitaine defied expectations and challenged the status quo, proving that women have played important roles in history by breaking gender norms.

Today, Steph is joined by Dr. Valerie Schutte. Valerie Schutte earned her PhD in History from the University of Akron, and is author or editor of eight books on Queen Mary I, unexpected heirs, and queens in Shakespeare. She is currently working on a cultural biography of Anne of Cleves and edited collections on Tudor myths, the making and remaking of Lady Jane Grey and Mary I, and Mary I and Continental humanism. Valerie's research interests include Queen Mary I, Anne of Cleves, Tudor queenship, book dedications, books related to Tudor kings.

Courting Scandal: The Royal Household & Jane Boleyn Feb 28, 2023

Jane Boleyn, sister-in-law of Queen Anne Boleyn and wife of George Boleyn, found herself embroiled in the dangerous politics of the Tudor court. Following the execution of George and Anne for treason in 1536, Jane managed to navigate the treacherous world of Tudor politics and maintain a position in each successive queen's household. However, her association with Katheryn Howard ultimately led to her downfall, and she was executed alongside the queen in 1542. Jane's story is a cautionary tale about the perils of power and ambition in the Tudor court.

I had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. James Taffe about his new book, Courting Scandal: The Rise and Fall of Jane Boleyn, Lady Rochford. During our conversation, we delved into the intricacies of the Tudor royal household and the role that Jane played in it. I learned so much from our discussion, and it gave me a greater appreciation for the fascinating and complex world of Tudor history.

Talking History with Rebecca Larson Feb 21, 2023

Given a choice, my inclination is always to discuss history rather than talk about myself. However, at the urging of a dedicated listener and friend of the show, I have agreed to answer a series of questions. These queries touch on not only my interest in history but also shed light on my motivations for starting a podcast and other intriguing aspects of my life - things not everyone knows about me. Therefore, for those who are ardent fans of the show and are curious to gain a deeper understanding of me, I sincerely hope you enjoy.

Tudor Folk Tales and Storytelling Feb 02, 2023

In this #AtE, Steph is joined by author, historian, and storyteller extraordinaire - Dave Tonge. Dave shares some fun bits of history and even tells us a good tale. Trust me; it will blow your mind.

Dave is the author of Tudor Folk Tales:

In Tudor times, the ‘common sort’ were no different from us, laughing together, mocking each other, and sharing bawdy tales in tavern yards, marketplaces, and anywhere else that people came together. These stories were later collected in the cheap print of the period, and professional storyteller Dave Tonge has sought them out to assemble here. Within these pages hide smooth-talking tricksters, lusty knaves, wayward youths and stories of the eternal struggle to wear the breeches in the family, for a sometimes coarse but often comic telling of the everyday ups and downs in Tudor life.

Today, Heather Darsie is joined by historical playwright Rebecca Lyon. Learn about what it is like to use playwriting as a historical outlet.

In Her Words: Thus Bestowed On Me the Name of Sophia Dec 15, 2022

In the last episode we learned about Elizabeth Stuart, Queen of Bohemia, and in that episode there was reference made to her daughter Sophia. This season I'll be presenting Sophia's book, Memoirs of Sophia, Electress of Hanover 1630-1680. But, as noted by our last guest Professor Dr Nadine Akkerman, this book is written as satire, and should be taken as such.

Images of people Sophia mentions in her writings:

Elizabeth Stuart, daughter of James VI/I and Queen of Bohemia; Portrait as a widow.

Frederick, King of Bohemia

Sophia

Her sisters: Elisabeth, Louise and Henriette

Amalia of Solms-Braunfels (Princess consort of Orange)

Louise Henriette (Princess of Nassau)

Memoirs of the Court of Queen Elizabeth - Part Six (Queens Series) Oct 27, 2022

This season I'll tell you the story written by Lucy Aikin (1781-1864) called Memoirs of the Court of Queen Elizabeth. If you are a fan of Elizabeth I then you'll appreciate this early 19th century (1818) sentiment.

In this episode, we will jump forward a little to the 1580s to see how the 19c observer portrayed Elizabeth as she aged. We see her reaction to her ladies wanting to marry, and when those nearest displeased her, we hear her response. We also see more of Elizabeth and Dudley's relationship, how he once again was lavished with power as the Queen's favorite, and how she behaved after jealousy set in. Then we look at the trial of Mary, Queen of Scots.

Memoirs of the Court of Queen Elizabeth - Part Five (Queens Series) Oct 20, 2022

This season I'll tell you the story written by Lucy Aikin (1781-1864) called Memoirs of the Court of Queen Elizabeth. If you are a fan of Elizabeth I then you'll appreciate this early 19th century (1818) sentiment.

In this episode, we will jump forward a little in time to the year 1573. By now, Mary, Queen of Scots, had married and buried Lord Darnley, and she had also married Lord Bothwell and abdicated her throne. At this point, Mary had already been Elizabeth's prisoner for years. They would number 19 in all, but at this point, it was still early on. So let's look at what the 19th-century observer had to say about Elizabeth's reaction to the Scottish queen and her favorite's trouble with Lady Sheffield.

The Tudor and 17th Century Experience is a venture that finally allows her to share her passion for all things Tudor with a wider audience especially now that she and her husband have at last moved into their dream home, an authentic Tudor manor. She is supported in her venture by her husband, Tom who is a long standing history re-enactor, military adviser and owner of an historic firearms company.

King Edward II of England with Kathryn Warner Mar 03, 2022

Historian Kathryn Warner joins us today to debunk the myths and to answer listener submitted questions.

Also, by pure coincidence, our guest today also mentions Agnes Strickland's incorrect history on Edward II as well.

Kateryn Parr with Dr. Linda Porter Feb 28, 2022

As a queen consort of England, Kateryn Parr's history is often overshadowed by the events that allegedly occurred between her husband and Lady Elizabeth. The Victorian historians didn't help her reputation either. Agnes Strickland's Lives of the Queens of England depicts Parr as having an 'unrivaled skill as a nurse'.

Today I am joined by Dr. Linda Porter to get a feel for the real Kateryn Parr. Dr. Porter responds to many of the myths about Parr, as well as interesting stories about her life.

Tudor Tombs with Dr. Kirsten Claiden-Yardley Oct 25, 2021

Tudor tombs are some of the longest lasting pieces of art in England. Whether these tombs were made of bronze, stone or even wood, the history remains centuries later. Effigies on top of the tomb are, in some cases, the only image we have of an historical figure. But sadly, during the dissolution of the monasteries, many of these magnificent tombs were damaged or destroyed. Who designed them, who created them, and who paid them! What are some of the symbols we find on tombs? Why did neither Arthur Tudor or Henry Fitzroy have an effigy on top of their tombs?

Frances Howard with Elizabeth Fremantle Aug 30, 2021

Welcome to Episode 122! This is the last of the off-season episodes and I’d like to thank Steph Stohrer for stepping up and helping to provide you with content for the last couple of months. The new season is going to be a bit different than what you’re used to, but you’ll still be getting all the same amazing content.

On this episode, Steph chats with critically acclaimed author, Elizabeth Fremantle. Elizabeth has published four Tudor and Elizabethan set novels which many you are likely familiar with...and, as we’ll learn today she has an announcement to make (which many of you may already know) regarding one of her books! Today, Elizabeth is here to discuss the ever scandalous Frances Howard. You’ll want to stick around to hear about this wonderfully noteworthy worthy figure in history that we seldom hear about.

Historian Dr. Estelle Paranque on Queen Elizabeth I Apr 17, 2020

*Warning: This episode contains some explicit language, nothing serious, but don't listen with little ears around. Dr Estelle Paranque is Lecturer in Early Modern History at New College of the Humanities at Northeastern, and an Honorary Research Fellow within the Centre for the Study of the Renaissance at the University of Warwick. She is the author of Elizabeth I of England Through Valois Eyes: Power, Representation, and Diplomacy in the Reign of the Queen, 1558-1588 (Palgrave Macmillan, 2018) and has published several essays on Elizabeth I, French monarchs, and other European queens. I had the privilege to speak with historian Dr Estelle Paranque on the subject, by the way, her favorite subject, and we discussed everything from her relationship with Robert Dudley, her similarities to Anne Boleyn, and yes, I found a way to discuss Thomas Seymour - because, let’s be honest, you can’t talk about Elizabeth’s early years without discussing Thomas.

Tudor Medicine with Historian Seamus O'Caellaigh Apr 05, 2020

Henry VIII lived for 55 years and had many health issues, especially toward the end of his reign; But that doesn’t mean he was a healthy man prior to that.

Henry’s own interest in remedies and prescriptions were quite magnificent as well.

The health of the King was quite often public knowledge, and as you’ll discover in this episode, even his bowel movements were written about.

Royals, like today, were celebrities - to be associated with the King could bring one wealth and power, and we know that Henry VIII raised men who other monarchs may not have….because he was paranoid and had issues trusting people.

It is easy for us, living in the 21st century, to take for granted modern medicine.

My guest today is historian, Seamus O'Caellaigh. Seamus is the author of Pustules, Pestilence and Pain: Tudor Treatments and Ailments of Henry VIII.

The Queen's Sisters: The Lives of the Sisters of Elizabeth Woodville with Sarah J Hodder Mar 21, 2020

Excerpt from Amazon.com: "Whether Queen or commoner, the lives of women throughout history is a fascinating study. Elizabeth Woodville, 'The White Queen', managed to make the transition from commoner to Queen and became the epitome of medieval heroines – the commoner who married a King. When she became the wife of Edward IV her actions changed the life of her entire family. Vilified both by their contemporaries and by many historians since, the Woodville family were center stage during the reigns of Edward IV and Richard III. Elizabeth Woodville became the ancestress of future Kings and Queens. This book takes a fresh look at the lives of Elizabeth's sisters. Although information on them is scarce, by looking at the men they married, their families, the places they lived and the events that they lived through we can catch a glimpse of their lives. Each sister has their own story to tell and they may not have achieved the dizzying heights that their sister did, but they are all fascinating women." My guest today is the author of The Queen’s Sisters - The Lives of the Sisters of Elizabeth Woodville, Sarah J Hodder.

On this episode I speak with Australian author and historian, Dr. Wendy J. Dunn. Wendy is the author of three absolutely amazing Tudor novels. We talk about the central characters in each: Anne Boleyn, Thomas Wyatt, Catherine Carey and Katherine of Aragon.

Wendy also discusses what the writing process was like for her, as well as how she handled rejection.

We discuss Katherine of Aragon's early years before arriving in England as her time with Arthur. Somehow I got her to answer the 'did they or didn't they question'.

The Tower of London with Tara Ball Nov 24, 2019

I must begin with two apologies. The first being that I may sound a bit different this week as I've been battling a cold. Secondly, there was a technical difficulty in my attempt to record this interview with Tara Ball, Warden at the Tower of London. Since I was unable to record an actual interview as I usually do, Tara was kind enough to take the questions I had prepared and record her answers for me. Regardless of the setback, I believe you will truly enjoy this episode as you do all the others. Tara does a marvelous job conveying the history of the Tower.

Adrienne has written two books, the first was Cor Rotto - a novel of Catherine Carey and the second was The Raven's Widow - a novel of Jane Boleyn. Adrienne's research has placed her at the top of people who know the most about Catherine Carey and that is why I asked her to be a guest host today.

She has been an eager student of history for most of her life and has completed in-depth research on the American Revolutionary War time period in American History and the history and sinking of the Titanic.

Interview with Author Margaret George Oct 26, 2019

Awhile ago, on Facebook, I asked for suggestions on guests to have on the show. One of my followers (I wish I could recall who it was to thank them) requested Margaret George. At the time I believed she was unattainable. One day I worked up the nerve to contact her and ask - what was the worst that would happen, right? I was pleasantly surprised when I heard that she was interested. This was many, many, many months ago. Today, I finally talked to her and thoroughly enjoyed our conversation.

On today’s episode I welcome another one of my favorite authors, Margaret George. Margaret and I talk about her novels: The Autobiography of Henry VIII, Mary Queen of Scotland and the Isles and Elizabeth I. We discussed where her love of history originated as well as the history behind her books. We talk about the ridiculous 72,000 people Henry VIII executed, Katheryn Howard, the TV series The Spanish Princess and even Thomas Seymour (I didn't expect it). Be sure to stick around until the end to discover something you may not have known about this prolific author.

On today’s episode I welcome another one of my favorite historians and authors, Leanda de Lisle. Leanda and I talk about the Tudors, James I, and his son, Charles I. You just never know where these topics will lead, and I had an absolute blast discussing them with Leanda. I’m Rebecca Larson, host of the Tudors Dynasty Podcast and owner of TudorsDynasty.com. Telling the stories of those who lived centuries before us is what I enjoy doing most. Whether it be a show on one subject or an interview with an author/historian, I’ll bring you the tales of 16th century England. -- Links for Leanda de Lisle Books: Amazon Barnes & Noble LeandadeLisle.com - Links to books, podcasts and YouTube videos! -- To become a patron: Patreon.com/TudorsDynasty click "Become a Patron" Written by: Rebecca Larson Voiced by: Rebecca Larson & Leanda de Lisle Produced by: Rebecca Larson Imaging by: Troy Larson Music Credits: Music from https://filmmusic.io "Folk Round" by Kevin MacLeod (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/rebecca-larson/support

A Brief History: Catherine Carey with Adrienne Dillard Sep 14, 2019

This is a supplemental episode of the Tudors Dynasty Podcast and is guest hosted by author Adrienne Dillard.

Adrienne has written two books, the first was Cor Rotto - a novel of Catherine Carey and the second was The Raven's Widow - a novel of Jane Boleyn. Adrienne's research has placed her at the top of people who know the most about Catherine Carey and that is why I asked her to be a guest host today.

About Adrienne:

Adrienne Dillard, is a graduate with a Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies with emphasis in History from Montana State University-Northern. She has been an eager student of history for most of her life and has completed in-depth research on the American Revolutionary War time period in American History and the history and sinking of the Titanic. Her senior university capstone paper was on the discrepancies in passenger lists on the ill-fated liner and Adrienne was able to work with Encyclopedia Titanica for much of her research on that subject. Her previous works include best-selling novel,"Cor Rotto: A Novel of Catherine Carey" and "Catherine Carey in a Nutshell" for MadeGlobal's History in a Nutshell series. Her most recent novel, The Raven's Widow: A Novel of Jane Boleyn was released in February 2017. When she isn't writing, Adrienne works as an administrative assistant in the financial services industry and enjoys spending time with her husband, Kyle, and son, Logan, at their home in the Pacific Northwest.

Interview with Historian Dan Jones Jun 24, 2019

*Note: This episode may include curse words or statements that may offend you, but let's be honest, that's what makes this one the most fun!

This episode is my final episode before I take a brief break from recording - don’t worry, I’ll be back in September. When I made the announcement that I would be switching to seasons in order to be able to spend more time with my family I figured I needed my final episode to be a big one - one to hold you over for two months. I am pleased to announce that (in my opinion) I was able to do that by booking Dan Jones as a guest.

Dan Jones is a historian and author who many of you may recognize without needing an introduction. For those who are not as familiar with Dan you may recognize him as the host of Secrets of Great British Castles on Netflix, or Britain’s Bloodiest Dynasty as well as a plethora of Tudor themed programs. Dan has eight books under his belt with his most recent one, Crusaders due out in the US his Fall.

In this episode we really cover a WIDE variety of topics and I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed recording it.

William Shakespeare with Cassidy Cash Jun 01, 2019

On today’s show I’m discussing a topic I feel I know very little about...William Shakespeare, but thankfully I’ll have a little help from an expert on the subject and we’ll have her answer some of your questions at the end as well.

William Shakespeare is arguably the most well-known playwright of all time - to learn more about him today I have special guest, Cassidy Cash from That Shakespeare Life podcast on to educate me, and maybe you too, on the life of William Shakespeare.

But, before we get started, here’s a little bit about Cassidy:

Cassidy Cash is an award winning filmmaker, artist, and host of the podcast That Shakespeare Life. Cassidy believes that in order to take Shakespeare’s work from page to performance, understanding the history of the man who wrote them is essential. Her work focuses on exploring the real life and history of William Shakespeare and using art to help her fellow Shakespearean's learn something new about the bard.

The Sisters Boleyn with Christine Morgan May 18, 2019

With this podcast I share a variety of stories from the most well-known dynasty of them all; The Tudors. From simple stories about the people of the time to the drama that was the reign of Henry VIII and of course, religion and politics.

This episode of the podcast is brought to you in part by The Falcon Nest - Handmade, history-themed jewelry. The Falcon Nest specializes in gorgeous replicas of the famous Anne Boleyn “B” necklace. See more at - the-falcon-nest.com - and be sure to use promo code TUDORSDYNASTY to receive 15% off!

So, May 19th is the 483rd anniversary of the execution of Anne Boleyn - I hate to call it an anniversary because that would indicate a celebration, and it was no real celebration for Anne. Except, without her execution I don't believe she would be as popular as she is today. Anne’s sister Mary has been mostly lost to history but part of her still carries on today - we’ll cover that more in a little bit.

On today’s show we have special guest, Christine Morgan - Christine is a historian and web series creator from Charlotte, NC and hold an MA in European History and has been invited to present her research internationally at history conference in the US and in the UK.

Her research covers the history of royal families, royal mistresses, religion, theatre, and propaganda. Christine’s web series called “Untitled History Project” which she writes, researches and hosts, has garnered support in her community and has been used as teaching material in high schools and universities in the US.

Thomas, the diplomat and the Siege of Pest Oct 13, 2018

Oct 13, 2018 at 3:52pm Hey! Welcome to the show! This will be the first show where I debut my new equipment AND new imaging from the amazingly talented, Troy Larson.

Thomas, the diplomat and the Siege of Pest is a new concept for me. I don't often speak of anything diplomatic or military, because it used to bore me. I was more interested in the relationships and the drama. Little did I know that the research for this podcast would change my mind all together. That by understanding an important piece of Thomas Seymour's history I understand him all the more. The battles, sieges and wars were a large part of Tudor lives and to neglect them is to do an injustice. So, here I go...stepping outside the box and producing a new sounding podcast about a subject I knew little of before choosing it as a topic.

If, as recommended in the podcast, you'd like to follow along on Google Maps (or wherever you prefer), here are a list of cities mentioned:

Enjoy this podcast and hope to see you next time! -Rebecca

Plantagenets & the Wars of the Roses Sep 08, 2018

Sep 8, 2018 at 4:57pm

This podcast is a bit unconventional for me. I've decided that talking about the Tudors, or any royal history, for that matter is more fun when you have someone to do it with. Sari Graham and I have become friends through social media and we share an interest in all things Tudor. I am honored to have her as a guest on the show today so she can teach me, and maybe you as well, a bit about the Wars of the Roses.

Why the Tudors? Aug 25, 2018

Aug 25, 2018 at 4:21pm

I was having a difficult time coming up with a topic for this week's podcast. I reached out to my followers on Facebook and a couple of them mentioned that they would be interested in finding out what got me interested in The Tudor dynasty in the first place. I thought it was a fantastic idea and so I ran with it.

This episode begins talking about Henry VII and the Battle of Bosworth as well as Elizabeth of York and leads up to the birth of Prince Arthur.

I discuss my genealogy, my DNA, favorite programs and so much more. If you really want to get a feel for who I am and what drives me then you'll love this episode.

*side note - I discovered later that I am NOT related to the person I mentioned. It was a bad hint. (You'll know what this means after you listen)

As always, I say thank you to all my patrons and to those of you who have supported over the years. Thanks again!

A very special thank you to Nathen Amin for allowing me to share the quote from his social media account.

Most Influential Women: Margaret Beaufort Aug 11, 2018

Aug 11, 2018 at 8:02am On my Facebook page called, Tudors Dynasty, I asked my followers who they believed to be the most influential women of the Tudor era. It is because of this poll that I decided to turn this into a series of episodes about some amazing Tudor women.

With this episode I focused on Margaret Beaufort, someone that I have not written much about in the past so it was fun to learn more about her.

Tudor Life - Part Three Jul 29, 2018

Jul 29, 2018 at 9:57am

Here I wrap up my series on life in Tudor England. In the first two parts in this series I tried to really cover every day life. This time I did something a bit different but still pertains to something those living during the Tudor era would have experienced. Hope you enjoyed this series!

Tudor Life - Part Two Jun 30, 2018

Jun 30, 2018 at 8:40pm

In the last episode, Part One of Life in Tudor England I covered, Tudor Women, Marriage, Childbirth, Fairs & Markets, Entertainment, Average Life and Food. If you missed out on that one it’s okay because each of these Tudor Life episodes can stand alone - so you can really listen to them in any order.

Understanding the Man: Henry VIII - Part Two Jun 02, 2018

Jun 2, 2018 at 6:00pm This is the second and last part on my "Understanding the Man" series on King Henry VIII.

As many of you may already know, King Henry VIII is my favorite monarch of the Tudor dynasty. If it wasn’t for his reign I do not believe the Tudors would be as popular as they are today. In this episode I continue on my journey to explain the Henry I have learned to love...and hate.

In this series on Henry VIII I want to take a different look at the king who executed two of his six wives. My mission is to make those of you who look at him as a tyrant to see what made him into the man he became later into his reign.

Most Fearless Women in Tudor England May 05, 2018

May 5, 2018 at 8:15pm Episode: Most Fearless Women in Tudor England I recently finished reading a couple of books about Mary Tudor, sister of King Henry VIII and Queen of France; it got me thinking about how fearless some of these women in the Tudor period really were. By today’s standards they would not be considered as brave (depending on what part of the world you live in of course), but in 16th century England the things these women did may have been considered reckless and disobedient by their male counterparts.

Episode: Edward VI's Regency Council Apr 02, 2018

Apr 2, 2018 at 12:37pm Episode: Edward VI's Regency Council After producing my series on Lady Jane Grey I thought I should step back a bit and look at the beginning of Edward VI's reign. As many of you already know I have an obsession with Thomas Seymour - it is at the time of Edward accession to the throne that things began to sour for Thomas Seymour...where he may have foresaw great favor and wealth, realty brought him much less. Thomas Seymour was not even trusted by King Henry VIII to be on the regency council of his own nephew.

This episode will focus on the events that occurred prior to King Henry VIII's death and will end with each of the sixteen men on the council and a bit about them.

I would also like to take a minute to apologize for the slaughtering of English place names, surnames and events -- I didn't realize until after the fact that I may have done a bit more research on how to pronounce a few things - my apologies, in advance.

The Life of Lady Jane Grey (Part Three) Mar 16, 2018

Mar 16, 2018 at 7:34pm The Life of Lady Jane Grey (Part Three) The life of Lady Jane Grey has been told many times. Most of the stories mention an abusive home where Jane felt trapped. But they do not often make you feel like you are getting a glimpse at the real Jane.

My series on Jane will hopefully open your eyes to interesting bits you did not know.

The Life of Lady Jane Grey (Part One) Feb 16, 2018

Feb 16, 2018 at 7:22pm The Life of Lady Jane Grey (Part One) There were many reasons why I wanted to do a series on Lady Jane Grey.

1. February is the month she was executed

2. I have read 'Crown of Blood' by Nicola Tallis

3. I just finished 'Three Sisters Who Would Be Queen' by Leanda De Lisle

4. BBC recently had a series on her as well, so Jane is hot-topic this month.

Elizabet, Queen of England - Part Six Feb 04, 2018

Feb 4, 2018 at 1:42pm Here is the last episode in the series on Elizabeth, Queen of England. As this journey to discover the real Elizabeth Tudor, Queen of England comes to an end I have decided to focus on two important women of the era.

They were both female, both royal by birth and both Queens in their own right, but being cousins is what caused the most havoc in their lives of these two women. I am of course speaking of Elizabeth Tudor and Mary Stuart.

Elizabeth, Queen of England - Part Three Jan 01, 2018

Jan 1, 2018 at 11:28am Elizabeth Tudor has always been on the back-burner for me. While I love the fact that she is the daughter of King Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn I’ve never been as interested in her reign as I have been for her father’s.

In this week's episode we continue on with the life of Elizabeth Tudor. Born in 1533, Elizabeth lived through the reign of her father, brother and sister to become Gloriana. In this series we work through important events in the life of Elizabeth to help me understand why so many of you love her so much.

Katheryn Howard - Part Four Nov 24, 2017

In this final part of the series I look into the interrogations of those around Katheryn Howard, her confessions, final words and execution.

This series has truly been a labor of love. I never would have thought that I would enjoy learning so much about Katheryn Howard - she is not as boring as I had once believed.

Katheryn Howard - Part Two Nov 12, 2017

In the last podcast we ended with Katheryn Howard married and Thomas Cromwell was executed. If you missed it, I’d recommend going back and listening to that one first, it was called Katheryn Howard: Part One.

As a queen of England Katheryn is only remembered for being the fifth wife of Henry VIII, and was executed. If it hadn’t been for her scandalous downfall, and said execution, we would not have as much interest in Katheryn as we do today.
