The biggest sex scandal in British history: When Anne Boleyn married Henry VIII, with Dr. Joanne Paul

This week, Sarah is joined by acclaimed historian Joanne Paul to discuss one of the biggest sex scandals of all time, Henry VIII's first divorce, and his subsequent remarriage to one of the most interesting women in history. That's right, in the 16th Century, Henry VIII wanted a son, and he wanted to marry his crush, the sexy and smart Anne Boleyn. But in order to do that, he had to leave his first wife, Queen Catherine. What ensued was some of the wildest - and most disturbing - gossip the world has ever known. From the creation of a new religion to beheading one's own wife, this saga boasts more drama than The Real Housewives and Vanderpump Rules put together. By the end of the episode, you'll understand why Sarah refers to Anne Boleyn as "her personal Roman Empire." 📚 For further reading:Thomas Moore: A Life and Death In Tudor England, By Dr. Joanne Paul Encyclopedia Britannica entry on Anne Boleyn 🎧 A few recent episodes we think you might like:Kate Middleton's uncommon storyIs it time to forgive Camilla Parker Bowles?How Princess Anne thwarted her own kidnapping 💌 If you want to hear more from the wonderful Dr. Joanne Paul, check out her website and follow her on Instagram. 🔗 Once you're done listening, why not subscribe to our Patreon here?

La Chasse-Galerie – Part 1

Every Christmas or New Year’s Eve, some say, several men in a birch bark canoe will soar through the skies over Montreal and beyond. It’s known as “la chasse-galerie,” and it’s essentially the Canadian version of the Wild Hunt. It’s a tale that has been told since at least the 17th century, and the story may have influenced, or have been influenced by, actual strange events that occurred in the mid-1600s. The story was shared around campfires of the courriers de bois, the voyageurs, and then among anyone who likes a good ghost story, and might be feeling a bit homesick. In this episode (Part 1), I’ll tell you the historical context of the legend, relay the legend as I heard it, and discuss variations in the story. In La Chasse-Galerie Part 2, I’ll tell you two additional stories: one of a doomed French lord that, some say, is the origin of the term “la chasse-galerie”, and another long-forgotten tale from Lake St. Clair on the Ontario/Michigan border. I’ll discuss the legend’s connection to Europe’s Wild Hunt, and its relevance today. Fireside Canada is a podcast about Canadian legends, lies and lore. Focused on both the storytelling and the historical aspects of folklore, each episode includes a creative retelling or story inspired by the folklore as well as an exploration and analysis of its history and cultural significance: the story behind the story.
