  1. The Imagery of Queen Mary I with Dr Peter Stiffell

    The Imagery of Queen Mary I with Dr Peter Stiffell

    When you think about Queen Mary I it’s probably Antonis Mor’s famous portrait of her that instantly pops into your head, or maybe its the stunning image of Mary in her 20s on display at the national portrait gallery. The truth however is that Mary is depicted in literally hundreds of different images, from portraits and sketches to legal documents and of course in coinage. To discuss Mary’s imagery I am thrilled to welcome Dr Peter Stiffell onto the podcast. Peter is an expert in the story of Mary I and has catalogued all known images of her, enabling him to gain incredible insight into the life of the very first queen regnant in English history.

    What was Wyatt's Rebellion?

    I'm back! In early 1554 a rebellion against queen Mary I broke out over fears that her impending marriage to Philip II of Spain would plunge England into becoming nothing more than an extension of Spain. This rebellion has become known as Wyatt’s rebellion, and would end in failure, but what actually was the rebellion, who was involved, how serious was the threat against Queen Mary and why was its biggest casualty Lady Jane Grey, despite her not being remotely involved?

  3. Anne Boleyn - A History in Portraits with Elizabeth LaVasse

    Anne Boleyn - A History in Portraits with Elizabeth LaVasse

    If there is one thing about Anne Boleyn that fascinates almost everyone who loves Tudor history, its discussing what on earth she actually looked like. All we have to go on, at least for now, is a series of portraits painted after Anne Boleyn’s death and that damaged medal which was struck in 1534, but, is it just possible that a portrait of Anne Boleyn, painted from life has been hiding in plain sight all along? Today I speak to Elizabeth LaVasse, who has been researching Anne’s many images and has developed what I think could be an incredible theory, which if true, will take the world of Anne Boleyn portraiture by storm.

    Tudor Midwifery with Brigitte Barnard

    Brigitte Barnard is a Tudor fictional author and fully qualified midwife who joins me today for a fascinating discussion all about Tudor midwifery. We cover the stories of Tudor women from the very top of society right down to the poorest. From the rules around confinement to bizarre birthing rituals, to the things that remain as prominent in giving birth today as they did for those in the 16th century. We also explore some of the stories told about the ramifications of Henry VIII’s wives pregnancies, from what ultimately killed Jane Seymour to a theory around Henry’s blood type being the root cause for much of his wives pregnancy misfortunes!

  5. Thomas Boleyn, Scheming Father - Fact or Fiction?

    21 JAN. • ALLEEN VOOR ABONNEES

    Thomas Boleyn, Scheming Father - Fact or Fiction?

    Thomas Boleyn, Earl of Wiltshire was an English diplomat and politician who is of course most famous for being the father of Anne Boleyn. Much of this latter preferment coming by virtue of his ever expanding presence at court thanks to the rise of his younger daughter. Ever since, Thomas has been portrayed as a scheming power player who effectively pimped out his daughters, but is this true? What was Thomas’s early story, how did he become such a prominent courtier and how did the fall of his family in 1536 alter the rest of his life?

    Anne Boleyn and Witchcraft with Sylvia Barbara Soberton

    Sylvia Barbara Soberton is a historian and author who joins me today for a discussion all about Anne Boleyn and witchcraft! Many historians refute claims that Anne was actually accused of being in a witch during her downfall in May 1536, but Sylvia has uncovered evidence which gives us pause for thought on this front, and that actually there is much more to the story than initially believed. Today we cover this all and much more as we explore the notions of exactly what witchcraft was in the context of Anne Boleyn’s story.

  7. The Death and aftermath of Katherine of Aragon

    14 JAN. • ALLEEN VOOR ABONNEES

    The Death and aftermath of Katherine of Aragon

    On the 7th January 1536 Katherine of Aragon, formally queen of England, died at Kimbolton Castle at the age of fifty. Having arrived in England at the age of just fifteen, she would call it home for more than twice the amount of time she spent in her native Spain. Her former husband, King Henry VIII and his second wife, Anne Boleyn, celebrated, whilst the common people and a great many of the nobility privately mourned their loss, so, what were the final days of Katherines life like? How did she die? Where is she buried and is there any truth in the often repeated story that Henry and Anne wore yellow as a sign of respect for her passing?
