  1. Jane Seymour, Henry VIII’s true love with Dr Elizabeth Norton

    Jane Seymour, Henry VIII’s true love with Dr Elizabeth Norton

    In todays episode I am delighted to be welcoming back Dr Elizabeth Norton for a discussion all about Jane Seymour, with our conversation based around Elizabeth’s book, Jane Seymour, Henry VIII’s True Love. We discuss Jane’s early life, what roles she played at court, how she behaved as queen and ask the questions, just what would have happened to Jane had she lived longer, or more crucially, if she had failed to deliver a son, so sit back and enjoy as I discuss, by Elizabeth Norton’s own admission, the wife of King Henry VIII who is perhaps the least popular, but had a monumental impact on his reign nonetheless.

  2. The Life and Death of Sir Nicholas Carew

    The Life and Death of Sir Nicholas Carew

    Sir Nicholas Carew was an English courtier and diplomat who during the reign of King Henry VIII became one of the kings closest friends. He had a long and largely successful career but would, like so many others, end his life on the executioners scaffold, in a somewhat last minute casualty of the Exeter Conspiracy, a period in which Henry VIII turned on the remaining Plantagenets at his court, so how did Nicholas Carew become involved? Was there any proof in the accusations against him? What was his early life like and why did a joke he told Henry VIII’s fool to say end in the king threatening to kill the poor man with his bare hands?

    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.

  4. 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.

    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.

    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?
