  1. Edward II: A King Out of Place

    Edward II: A King Out of Place

    Edward II has often been remembered as a king who simply didn’t fit the role he inherited. In this episode, we trace his reign from the shadow of his formidable father, Edward I of England, through the controversies that defined his rule - his favoritism, his relationships, and his uneasy connection with the nobility. Why did his choices spark such intense opposition? And how did a king lose control of his own kingdom? As we follow Edward II’s story to his deposition, something unexpected emerges: a king increasingly aware of his own failures - offering, perhaps, a quiet kind of redemption at the very end. -- Listen to Matt on Gone Medieval! -- BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: SPECIAL EVENT on May 9th with Dr. Steven Veerapon on the medical history of Henry VIII.

    Katherine Swynford: From Mistress to Duchess

  3. Henry VII: What Ifs & Misconceptions

    Henry VII: What Ifs & Misconceptions

    What if Henry Tudor never made it out of England? What if Bosworth had gone differently? And how much of what we think we know about Henry VII is actually wrong? In this Off the Record episode, we're joined by historian Nathen Amin to dig into the myths, misconceptions, and fascinating “what ifs” surrounding England’s first Tudor king. From his years in exile with Jasper Tudor to the pivotal moment at Battle of Bosworth Field, we explore just how fragile Henry’s path to the throne really was. Would he have tried again if Bosworth had been lost? What if he had never fled into exile at all? Was his marriage to Elizabeth of York inevitable - or simply the best available option? And after her death, who might Henry have chosen next? We also tackle the question people love to ask (but rarely explore properly): was Henry VII a mama’s boy under the influence of Margaret Beaufort…or something far more calculated? This is Henry VII stripped of the textbook narrative - uncertain, strategic, and far more human than you might expect. -- https://nathenamin.substack.com/ -- BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: SPECIAL EVENT on May 9th with Dr. Steven Veerapon on the medical history of Henry VIII.

    Edward I: Tyrant or Mastermind?

    Was Edward I of England a brilliant reformer—or a ruthless tyrant? In this episode, we dig into the life and reign of one of England’s most formidable kings. From legal reforms and the shaping of Parliament to his brutal campaigns in Wales and Scotland, Edward’s legacy is anything but simple. We explore the man behind the crown—his ambition, his grief after the death of Eleanor of Castile, and the decisions that still spark debate today. Was he building a stronger England…or ruling through fear? -- BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: SPECIAL EVENT on May 9th with Dr. Steven Veerapon on the medical history of Henry VIII.

    Women Behaving Badly: Tudor Style

    Welcome back to Off the Record! Today, Amy and I dive into women “behaving badly”…or at least, that’s how history chose to remember them. And yes—we’re fully aware that women were judged by a very different standard than men. From alleged husband-murdering, to sharp-tongued insults, to a mother refusing her son the money he demanded, and even a woman boldly owning an affair (and naming her son after her lover)…we unpack the stories behind the scandal. Were these women truly outrageous—or simply refusing to play by the rules? Let’s get into it. -- Margaret Wotton article: https://tudorsdynasty.com/margaret-wotton-unnatural-mother/ Book I mentioned: A Biographical Encyclopedia of Early Modern Englishwomen: Exemplary Lives and Memorable Acts, 1500-1650. -- Hosts: Rebecca Larson & Amy McElroy

  7. The King No One Talks About: Henry III

    The King No One Talks About: Henry III

    What do you do when your father is one of the worst kings in English history? This week, I’m joined by Matt Lewis to unpack the life of Henry III of England—a king who inherited chaos, uncertainty, and a seriously damaged crown after the disastrous reign of King John of England. We explore how Henry came to the throne as a child, what it meant to grow up in the shadow of his father’s failures, and the surprising role his mother, Isabella of Angoulême, played when she left England behind. What happened to Henry’s siblings? And how did those early years shape the kind of king he would become? From there, we look at Henry’s own family—his marriage, his children, and the legacy he hoped to build—while also asking a bigger question: was Henry’s reign really as peaceful as it’s often portrayed? It’s a story of recovery, reputation, and the long shadow of a bad king… and whether Henry III ever truly escaped it. -- Henry III by Matthew Lewis: Amazon US -- Support the podcast on Patreon! https://patreon.com/tudorsdynasty -- Host: Rebecca Larson Guest: Matt Lewis

  8. The Queen's Husband: George of Denmark (Series)

    The Queen's Husband: George of Denmark (Series)

    After exploring the husbands of Mary, Queen of Scots, Mary I of England, and Mary II of England, we now arrive at the final Stuart queen—Queen Anne—and the often-overlooked man at her side: Prince George of Denmark. In this overview episode of The Queen’s Husband, Dr. Linda Porter and I take a closer look at George—frequently dismissed as dull or insignificant—and ask whether that reputation is truly deserved. What role did he play in Anne’s life, both personally and politically? Was he simply a supportive consort, or is there more to his story than history has allowed? Join us as we reassess George of Denmark and explore the dynamics of one of Britain’s quieter—but perhaps more meaningful—royal marriages -- Others in the series: (Spotify Link) The Queen's Husband: The Men Who Wed Mary, Queen of Scots The Queen's Husband: Philip II The Queen's Husband: William III -- Host: Rebecca Larson Guest: Dr. Linda Porter
