  1. Medieval Women, Voices and Visions with Dr Eleanor Jackson

    Medieval Women, Voices and Visions with Dr Eleanor Jackson

    Dr Eleanor Jackson is a curator at the British Library, responsible for creating the incredible new exhibition they have on display, Medieval Women, Voices and Visions. This remarkable exhibition brings together artefacts including letters, statues, trial records, table wear and so much more, beautifully telling the stories of medieval women. Many of the items have ties to some of the most iconic women from history, including the Empress Matilda, Eleanor of Aquitaine, Margaret of Anjou and even Joan of Arc. Equally, there are tales of your every day medieval woman, from a girl who broke a rib whilst ice-skating to a court case against a 14th century sex worker, who though born male, lived, identified and worked as a woman, so join me as we journey back through four hundred years of medieval history brought together in this remarkable exhibition.

  2. Henry Fitzroy, King Henry VIII’s acknowledged bastard.

    HÁ 3 DIAS • SOMENTE PARA ASSINANTES

    Henry Fitzroy, King Henry VIII’s acknowledged bastard.

    Henry VIII had four really acknowledged children, his daughters Mary and Elizabeth, by Catherine of Aragon and Anne Boleyn respectively, and his son Edward by his third wife, Jane Seymour, but there was of course, another son floating about, who for a time was a major part of his fathers royal court - Henry FitzRoy, Duke of Richmond and Somerset, the only illegitimate child that King Henry VIII freely and willingly accepted as his own. For the king, Henry Fitzroy was living proof that he could sire a healthy son, so who actually was Henry Fitzroy, what role did he play at court, who was he married to and was he ever taken seriously as an heir to the throne of England?

    The final year of Anne Boleyn with Natalie Grueninger

    Natalie Grueninger is a historian and author, known for her incredible podcast series, talking tudors. A couple of years ago Natalie released her book, the final year of Anne Boleyn, which as the title suggests, charts the final year of Anne Boleyn’s life and how many of the seeds that eventually brought her down were sown long before May 1536. In writing this book, Natalie uncovered aspects of Anne’s story that are either seldom explored, unknown or massively misunderstood, from Anne’s miscarriages, how her arrest played out and indeed what happened to Anne’s remains after she was beheaded. All will be covered in this episode!

  4. The Life of Sir Geoffrey Pole - A Plantagenet Liability

    The Life of Sir Geoffrey Pole - A Plantagenet Liability

    With Wolf Hall having returned to our screens, in its new series The Mirror and the Light, and featuring the Pole family in a much bigger way than the first series, I thought the time would be right to explore the life of Sir Geoffrey Pole, played in the series by Pip Carter and who is introduced in the first episode, alongside Dame Harriet Walter as Margaret Pole, Countess of Salisbury. The real Geoffrey Pole was the youngest child of Margaret Pole and her husband, Sir Richard Pole. He was a knight and courtier during the reign of Henry VIII, who despite his position as a member of one of the most illustrious families in England would constantly be strapped for cash and prove fatally weak in his resolve, being ultimately quite responsible for much of the horrors that befell his family.

    The Eagle and the Hart - The Tragedy of Richard II and Henry IV with Dr Helen Castor

    Dr Helen Castor is a historian, author and broadcaster who is best known for her work on some of histories most fascinating women, from Eleanor of Aquitaine to Joan of Arc, Isabella of France to Lady Jane Grey, however, her most recent book, published only a few weeks ago breaks the mould, for in it she explores the life of two of medieval England’s kings. The eagle and the hart, the tragedy of Richard ii and Henry iv is this book, a remarkable and highly detailed exploration of these very very different kings and how, as the title suggests, their lives and more accurately their reigns descended into tragedy. I am thrilled to welcome Helen onto the podcast today to discuss her book, this is a long episode folks, so buckle in as we hop out of the world of the Tudors and into that of the Plantagenets.

    Sir Walter Raleigh, Elizabeth I’s Great Explorer.

    Sir Walter Raleigh was an English statesman, soldier, writer, explorer and ultimately pirate, who became one of the most notable figures of the Elizabethan era. A favourite of Queen Elizabeth I, Raleigh was a remarkable figure, but despite this, he would eventually lose his life on the executioners scaffold, sanctioned by Elizabeth I's successor, King James I. But, who was Walter Raleigh, what were his early years like, how did he come to the attention of Elizabeth I, and why did Elizbeth’s successor order his execution?

    Anne Boleyns letter from the tower with Sandra Vasoli

    A letter, said to have been written or dictated by Anne Boleyn, as she languished in the tower of London, awaiting execution, is one of the most famous artifacts associated with Henry VIII’s doomed second wife. My guest today, author, historian and researcher, Sandra Vasoli, has been working on and researching this letter for the past 12 years, discovering remarkable clues to assert its authenticity, and her research is far from over, she’s even bringing AI into the mix to help bring more intelligence forward. We discuss the letters provenance, what is written and Sandi shares insight into the research she is undertaking. Sandi also discusses her own views on why she believes the letter is authentic, and what she believes Anne was hoping to achieve when she wrote it.
