    Why did Henry VIII have two wives executed? The downfalls of Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard

    Why did Henry VIII have two wives executed? The downfalls of Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard

    Why did Henry VIII have two wives executed? We can learn a lot about the circumstances which led to the executions of Anne Boleyn and, 6 years later, her cousin Catherine Howard, by comparing and contrasting the two. Gareth Russell explores the events surrounding the downfall of each of the ill-fated Queens of Henry VIII in this new perspective on a familiar story and reveals a surprising fact...that Henry wrote a play about Anne Boleyn's "sexual misdemeanors" before her trial!

British history in easily digestible episodes

I really enjoy Philippa’s series on British history as they are presented in easily digestible episodes, with the exception of the Thursday Tea Times.
