Episode 207: Empson and Dudley
It's really nice when you have people who will do your dirty work and implement the policies you come up with that are super unpopular, so they get the blame and you're free. Right? Isn't that a cool deal to have? Only problem is when you're those guys doing the work, and your protector dies, and the next guy comes in and wants to show how he'll change everything... oops.
Let's talk about Henry VII's implementation team: Empson and Dudley.

Customer Reviews
One of the best Tudor history podcasts ever
Heather is the best, I love the range of topics she covers from how the prepared for winter, holidays and festivals, housing etc. as well as Royals and big notable historic events. She adds a level of detail that makes you notice how much she really loves the subject. I work 11 hour days at a warehouse and this podcasts makes my shift so much better! The two negative reviews I did see on here come from some real insane Karen’s 💀 the podcast is great
HUUUUGE….
