    Heirs of Ambition, The Making of the Boleyn's with Dr Claire Martin

    When we hear the name Boleyn, we naturally jump to the world of the Tudors and one of the most famous women in British history, Anne Boleyn, but, Anne and her family didn’t just pop out of the ground, there were of course many generations of Boleyn’s before her, so who were they? Well today I am thrilled to welcome Dr Claire Martin onto the podcast for a discussion on this very subject. We discuss how the Boleyn family started out, what led to Boleyn involvement in the wars of the roses and how Anne’s great-grandfather, Geoffrey became one of the most important men in London.

  2. Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk, Henry VIII's Best Friend with Michael Hoy

    Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk, Henry VIII's Best Friend with Michael Hoy

    Charles Brandon is the man who was Henry VIII’s best friend, a career courtier who owed basically all of his rise to the house of Tudor, preferment that eventually led to his being made Duke of Suffolk. He is famous for his scandalous marriages, from dumping one intended wife to marry her much older and much richer aunt, to marrying Henry VIII’s own sister in secret, but what about the man beyond the marriages? Who was he, how did he get his place at court and is there an argument that actually his soul mate, in a totally platonic way, was, in fact, Henry VIII? Today historian Michael Hoy joins me to chat all about this fascinating figure, a true survivor of Henry VIII's court.

  3. The Death, Funeral and Burial of King Henry VIII

    The Death, Funeral and Burial of King Henry VIII

    On Friday 28th January 1547, King Henry VIII died at Whitehall Palace. Aged 55, the king was barely recognisable from the handsome, strapping 17 year old who had ascended the throne 38 years earlier. He died a morbidly obese tyrant, with a grossly depleted treasury and infamy as the most married king in English history. So, what actually led up to Henry’s death, how did he die, what was the kings funeral like and why is he buried in a grave that many quite literally walk over, not noticing what they are doing?

    Elizabeth Boleyn, Countess of Wiltshire with Sophie Bacchus Waterman

    Elizabeth Boleyn, Countess of Wiltshire is famous as the mother of Queen Anne Boleyn, and yet Elizabeth herself remains an extremely elusive figure. So much of her story is unknown, which is why I was so excited to learn that the very first book about Elizabeth Boleyn has been written and will be released later this year. I am thrilled to say that the books author, Sophie Bacchus Waterman is this weeks podcast guest. She joins me to discuss this fascinating but hugely overlooked figure, and although much still remains unknown, Sophie has discovered some new insights which do help us piece together something of who this woman was, so join Sophie and I as we explore the life of this remarkable woman, the mother of England’s most infamous queen consort.

  5. The Life of Henry Carey, 1st Baron Hunsdon

    The Life of Henry Carey, 1st Baron Hunsdon

    Henry Carey was an English peer, courtier and the only confirmed son of Mary Boleyn, by her first husband, William Carey, or was he? Thanks to Mary Boleyn’s affair with King Henry VIII, the parentage of her children has always been questioned, although Henry Carey’s less than his elder sister Catherine. Of the two, Henry is the lesser known, despite his position as a cousin of Elizabeth I, so who actually was this man? What were his early years like? What positions did he have at the Tudor court, and what evidence is there to suggest he was an illegitimate son of the king?

    The Imagery of Queen Mary I with Dr Peter Stiffell

    When you think about Queen Mary I it’s probably Antonis Mor’s famous portrait of her that instantly pops into your head, or maybe its the stunning image of Mary in her 20s on display at the national portrait gallery. The truth however is that Mary is depicted in literally hundreds of different images, from portraits and sketches to legal documents and of course in coinage. To discuss Mary’s imagery I am thrilled to welcome Dr Peter Stiffell onto the podcast. Peter is an expert in the story of Mary I and has catalogued all known images of her, enabling him to gain incredible insight into the life of the very first queen regnant in English history.

  8. What was Wyatt's Rebellion?

    4 FEB • SÓLO PARA PERSONAS CON SUSCRIPCIÓN

    What was Wyatt's Rebellion?

    I'm back! In early 1554 a rebellion against queen Mary I broke out over fears that her impending marriage to Philip II of Spain would plunge England into becoming nothing more than an extension of Spain. This rebellion has become known as Wyatt’s rebellion, and would end in failure, but what actually was the rebellion, who was involved, how serious was the threat against Queen Mary and why was its biggest casualty Lady Jane Grey, despite her not being remotely involved?
