    Robert Cecil, Master Secretary with Richard Woulfe

    Robert Cecil, the younger but highly prodigious son of William Cecil, chief advisor to Elizabeth I, was one of the most complex but intriguing figures of the late 16th and early 17th century. Bookish, awkward and at times rather cold, he was nonetheless a supremely skilled politician who would play a huge role in the succession from the world of the Tudors to the Stuarts. To discuss Robert Cecil with me, I am pleased to welcome author Richard Woulfe onto the podcast for the first time. Richard’s book, Master Secretary, Robert Cecil, A Life in Fiction, is as the name suggests, a piece of historical fiction, but the discussion today is all about the real man himself, so settle in to discover all about the man who all but placed the crown of England on the head of a Scotsman

  2. The History of the Tower of London from William the Conqueror to Elizabeth I

    27 AVR. • ABONNÉS UNIQUEMENT

    The History of the Tower of London from William the Conqueror to Elizabeth I

    The history of the Tower of London is not merely the story of a building, but of the evolution of English kingship itself. Across nearly five centuries—from the arrival of William the Conqueror to the violent theatrics of Henry VIII—the Tower served as fortress, palace, armoury, treasury, prison, and stage for political theatre. Its meaning shifted with each generation of rulers, but one constant remained: it was always a place where royal authority was made visible in stone, ritual, and, often, blood.

  3. The Beheading Game, Author Interview with Rebecca Leeman

    The Beheading Game, Author Interview with Rebecca Leeman

    I think we’d all love for Anne Boleyn to have been given the chance to get her revenge on King Henry VIII, which is why I was really excited to read The Beheading Game, the delightfully bonkers new piece of historical fiction in which Anne Boleyn wakes up in that famous arrow chest, her head resting at her waist. What follows is a journey in which Anne manages to reattach her head, before going out on a journey of both self discovery and, of course, cold hard revenge. To discuss the story with me, I am pleased to welcome the books author, Rebecca Leeman onto the podcast for the first time. Join Rebecca and I as we discuss how she developed her ideas, the creative choices she made for Anne’s character, what ancient legends inspired the story plus much more!

  4. The Life of Jane Dudley, Duchess of Northumberland: Matriarch of Ambition

    The Life of Jane Dudley, Duchess of Northumberland: Matriarch of Ambition

    Few women of the Tudor period stood so close to power—and endured such devastating reversals—as Jane Dudley. Overshadowed in popular memory by her formidable husband, John Dudley, and her ill-fated daughter-in-law, Lady Jane Grey, Jane herself emerges, on closer inspection, as one of the most remarkable female figures of mid-Tudor England. Her life spans the final years of Henry VII’s legacy, the upheavals of Henry VIII’s Reformation, the Protestant experiment under Edward VI, and the violent Catholic restoration of Mary I. Through it all, she was not merely present—she was active: a courtier, a political ally, a patron, and, above all, a fiercely determined mother.

    Mary Boleyn, the Queen’s Slandered Sister with Sylvia Barbara Soberton

    She is known around the world as the Other Boleyn Girl, but what do we really know about the sister of Anne Boleyn? Characterised as either a dull, less educated version of Anne or a whore who slept her way through much of the French court, in reality what we do know of Mary’s story paints an entirely different woman. To discuss her with me, I am pleased to welcome back historian Sylvia Barbara Soberton onto the podcast for a discussion on her upcoming book, Mary Boleyn, the Queens Slandered Sister.

  6. James Hepburn, Earl of Bothwell: Power, Violence and the Ruin of a Queen.

    13 AVR. • ABONNÉS UNIQUEMENT

    James Hepburn, Earl of Bothwell: Power, Violence and the Ruin of a Queen.

    Few figures in sixteenth-century British history provoke as much controversy, fascination, and historiographical disagreement as James Hepburn. His life intersects with some of the most dramatic events of early modern Britain: factional conflict in Scotland, the Reformation crisis, the murder of Henry Stuart, Lord Darnley, and the eventual downfall of Mary herself. Bothwell’s career, therefore, offers not merely a biography, but a lens through which to examine power, masculinity, legitimacy, and political violence in the sixteenth century, so, to his story.

    Anne Boleyn - Reputation, Revolution and Religion, with Martha Tatarnic

    For centuries, Anne Boleyn has been cast, in certain quarters, as a power hungry manipulator who schemed to become queen of England. The story, when one digs a bit deeper, is far more complex. In truth, Anne Boleyn was a queen who used her power and influence to shape the English reformation and transform Europe’s political and religious landscape. To discuss all of this with me, I am pleased to welcome onto the podcast for the first time, Martha Tatarnic whose upcoming book, Anne Boleyn, Reputation, Revolution, Religion and the Queen who Changed History, acts as the basis for our conversation, so stay tuned to find out how Martha’s fresh takes challenge assumptions made about one of the most infamous women in history.

  8. The Life of Elizabeth Seymour, sister to a Queen.

    6 AVR. • ABONNÉS UNIQUEMENT

    The Life of Elizabeth Seymour, sister to a Queen.

    Elizabeth Seymour is a figure from Tudor England that we hear little about, for she is always drowned out by her much more famous sister, Queen Jane Seymour, and her two brothers, Edward and Thomas, and yet over the course of her life, Elizabeth lived through the reigns of five Tudor monarchs, if one includes Lady Jane Grey, and entered into three marriages, one of which made her the daughter in law of Thomas Cromwell. Elizabeth was a courtier in her own right and would serve Anne Boleyn but she did not serve in the household of her sister, stay tuned to find out why as I examine the life of Elizabeth Seymour, Lady Cromwell
