    Helen of Troy: The Legendary Beauty Who Brought a City to Its Knees

    I have been looking into Greek Mythology more lately and was fascinated by the story of Helen of Troy. I hope I do the story justice, and I also hope that I did not massacre the pronunciation of their names too much - please forgive me if I did!

These Catherines endured scandal, intrigue, and heartbreak, each fighting to protect their legacies in a world ruled by men. From forbidden love and royal rivals to unyielding ambition, their stories set the stage for dynasties that would change history.

    Intrigue and Loyalty: Jane Boleyn and the Tudor Royal Household

    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.
