    The Dudleys: The Family that Shook Tudor Court

    The Dudleys: The Family that Shook Tudor Court

    When it comes to families entwined in the intricate web of Tudor court affairs, none captivate me quite like the Dudleys. From Edmund Dudley to John Dudley, and finally Robert Dudley, their saga unfurled across the entirety of the Tudor era.

    Today I welcome back in this revisit episode, Dr. Joanna Paul to discuss the topic of her book, The House of Dudley.

Ring a ring o’roses - pity about obvious inaccuracies

Black Death episode. The original rhyme makes so much more sense! Maybe worth checking non American sources…

Ring-a-ring o’ roses - referring to marks on the skin
A pocket full of posies - they used to carry flowers around for the scent to try and ward off the evil smells
A-tishoo! A-tishoo! - sneezing.
We all fall down - self explanatory

M.A.T.74 ,

Interesting but short

Really enjoy this podcast only downside is I wish the episodes were longer.

Oh no - mistakes do happen

Oh no, Rebecca! I don’t think you should have ever aired the episode with Andy McMillin 🤦‍♀️ on Dowry etc.
Grossly incompetent is an understatement. Cringeworthy and tragic.
This episode brings down your otherwise fabulous podcast to a very, very low level.
Quality over quantity, please!
