After the execution of her husband, George Boleyn, and sister-in-law Anne in 1536, Jane skillfully navigated the dangerous waters of Tudor politics, securing a place in the households of each successive queen. But her involvement with Queen Katheryn Howard ultimately sealed her fate, leading to their executions in 1542.

Granted to Thomas when he was created Baron Seymour of Sudeley by his nephew, Edward VI, in 1547, the castle became a place of both joy and sorrow. It was here that Parr passed away on September 5, 1548, shortly after giving birth to their daughter. Kateryn Parr is unique among Henry VIII's wives, as she is the only one to be honored with a magnificent tomb, complete with a stunning effigy.

Empress Matilda, with all her rightful claim, seemed destined to become the first queen of England. However, her cousin Stephen, backed by the influential lords and barons, seized the opportunity from her grasp. King Stephen's wife, Matilda, added another layer to this historical drama with her significant presence. Eventually, the two formidable women found themselves in a fierce face-off, locked in a battle for the throne.
This time in history is similar to the Wars of the Roses centuries later!

Today I am joined by art historians Mell Taylor and Dr. Emma Cahill Marron to explore the earliest appearance of the portrayal of parrots in medieval and early modern works; why these birds were thought to be so special, where they came from and who was it that supplied the growing demand in Europe in the 15th and 16th centuries. We'll also discuss Katherine of Aragon and Mary I's use of parrots in real life. Enjoy! Links to images:

Katherine of Aragon, the first wife of King Henry VIII, left a profound and lasting legacy that goes far beyond her role as the mother of England's first queen regnant. Though often portrayed as a prim and pious figure, the real Katherine was a complex and fascinating woman who defied the conventions of her time and stood up for what she believed in. Today, we revisit the episode where I was joined by Dr. Emma Cahill Marron. Emma has studied Katherine and Aragon and her family extensively and her knowledge of art history gives her a unique insight into Katherine's world.

As a queen consort of England, Kateryn Parr's history is often overshadowed by the events that allegedly occurred between her husband and Lady Elizabeth. The Victorian historians didn't help her reputation either. Agnes Strickland's Lives of the Queens of England depicts Parr as having an 'unrivaled skill as a nurse'.
Today I am joined by Dr. Linda Porter to get a feel for the real Kateryn Parr. Dr. Porter responds to many of the myths about Parr, as well as interesting stories about her life.

Madeleine of Valois was the first wife of King James V of Scotland. Their marriage was arranged as part of a political alliance between Scotland and France. However, Madeleine's time as queen was tragically short-lived – she died just six months after their marriage, leaving James heartbroken.
Mary of Guise was James V's second wife and the mother of his successor, Mary, Queen of Scots. She was a noblewoman from a powerful French family who had extensive political and diplomatic experience. Mary of Guise played a crucial role in protecting her young daughter's throne.

Here is the second part to the last episode!
Powerful queens throughout history have often been misunderstood and reduced to stereotypes, as they were judged through biased lenses that distorted their actions and motivations. By examining their lives, we can dispel these myths and gain a better understanding of their true character and legacy. Women like Empress Matilda and Eleanor of Aquitaine defied expectations and challenged the status quo, proving that women have played important roles in history by breaking gender norms.
Today, Steph is joined by Dr. Valerie Schutte. Valerie Schutte earned her PhD in History from the University of Akron, and is author or editor of eight books on Queen Mary I, unexpected heirs, and queens in Shakespeare. She is currently working on a cultural biography of Anne of Cleves and edited collections on Tudor myths, the making and remaking of Lady Jane Grey and Mary I, and Mary I and Continental humanism. Valerie's research interests include Queen Mary I, Anne of Cleves, Tudor queenship, book dedications, books related to Tudor kings.

Jane Boleyn, sister-in-law of Queen Anne Boleyn and wife of George Boleyn, found herself embroiled in the dangerous politics of the Tudor court. Following the execution of George and Anne for treason in 1536, Jane managed to navigate the treacherous world of Tudor politics and maintain a position in each successive queen's household. However, her association with Katheryn Howard ultimately led to her downfall, and she was executed alongside the queen in 1542. Jane's story is a cautionary tale about the perils of power and ambition in the Tudor court.
I had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. James Taffe about his new book, Courting Scandal: The Rise and Fall of Jane Boleyn, Lady Rochford. During our conversation, we delved into the intricacies of the Tudor royal household and the role that Jane played in it. I learned so much from our discussion, and it gave me a greater appreciation for the fascinating and complex world of Tudor history.

Isabella of France and her husband Edward II's marriage was turbulent and marked by rumors of infidelity. Isabella's "affair" with Roger Mortimer, a powerful nobleman, became widely known and they plotted to overthrow Edward II. Their plot succeeded, resulting in Edward II's deposition and possible murder. This scandalous period remains one of the most controversial in English royal history, and Chris Riley joins the show again to discuss this fascinating woman with Steph.

Given a choice, my inclination is always to discuss history rather than talk about myself. However, at the urging of a dedicated listener and friend of the show, I have agreed to answer a series of questions. These queries touch on not only my interest in history but also shed light on my motivations for starting a podcast and other intriguing aspects of my life - things not everyone knows about me. Therefore, for those who are ardent fans of the show and are curious to gain a deeper understanding of me, I sincerely hope you enjoy.

Katherine of Aragon, the first wife of King Henry VIII, left a profound and lasting legacy that goes far beyond her role as the mother of England's first queen regnant. Though often portrayed as a prim and pious figure, the real Katherine was a complex and fascinating woman who defied the conventions of her time and stood up for what she believed in. Today, I am joined by Dr. Emma Cahill Marron. Emma has studied Katherine and Aragon and her family extensively and her knowledge of art history gives her a unique insight into Katherine's world.

Despite Walsingham’s network of spies and back channels determined to expose Mary Stuart’s information network, Mary’s clandestine letters to Castelnau remained undiscovered for ten years. It was not until 1583 Walsingham managed to plant a mole in Castelnau’s embassy in London. These letters have been presumed lost for the past 436 years until now.

In this #AtE, Steph is joined by author, historian, and storyteller extraordinaire - Dave Tonge. Dave shares some fun bits of history and even tells us a good tale. Trust me; it will blow your mind.
In Tudor times, the ‘common sort’ were no different from us, laughing together, mocking each other, and sharing bawdy tales in tavern yards, marketplaces, and anywhere else that people came together. These stories were later collected in the cheap print of the period, and professional storyteller Dave Tonge has sought them out to assemble here. Within these pages hide smooth-talking tricksters, lusty knaves, wayward youths and stories of the eternal struggle to wear the breeches in the family, for a sometimes coarse but often comic telling of the everyday ups and downs in Tudor life.

Anne of Cleves is quickly becoming one of the most popular of Henry VIII's six queens. Thanks partly to today's guest, historian Heather Darsie.
Think you've heard everything you've ever wanted to know about this fourth "wife" of Henry VIII? Think again! Today I've had some bombshells dropped on me that I did not expect. At the end of the episode, Heather tells us something quirky about Anne of Cleves that you will not expect - I sure didn't!

Welcome to the year 2023 and the first This Week in Royal History of the new year - I’m so happy that you continue to return to these weekly episodes because it has been a lot of fun to explore periods of royal history with you outside of the #Tudors. But let’s be clear - I still love the Tudors, and this week I am leading off with an important event in the early years of Henry VIII’s reign…

Historical playwrights such as William Shakespeare have been instrumental in telling the history we know today. What a fascinating occupation - one could get into deep water with Elizabeth I if she was displeased. Historical playwrights today have much more creative autonomy in the 21st century. Today, Heather Darsie is joined by historical playwright Rebecca Lyon. Learn about what it is like to use playwriting as a historical outlet.

In the last episode we learned about Elizabeth Stuart, Queen of Bohemia, and in that episode there was reference made to her daughter Sophia. This season I'll be presenting Sophia's book, Memoirs of Sophia, Electress of Hanover 1630-1680. But, as noted by our last guest Professor Dr Nadine Akkerman, this book is written as satire, and should be taken as such.

Images of people Sophia mentions in her writings:
Elizabeth Stuart, daughter of James VI/I and Queen of Bohemia; Portrait as a widow.
Frederick, King of Bohemia
Her sisters: Elisabeth, Louise and Henriette
Amalia of Solms-Braunfels (Princess consort of Orange)
Louise Henriette (Princess of Nassau)
Prince of Wales - Charles (in exile)

Today, I am joined by Prof. Dr. Nadine Akkerman, literary historian, author and educator. Nadine’s access to Elizabeth Stuart’s original letters makes her the foremost authority on Elizabeth Stuart, and the perfect guest for to day’s show.

Welcome to our miniseries on the very much-maligned Queen Mary I of England. Thanks to PhD candidate Johanna Strong for orchestrating this entire series by teaming up with some of the leading researchers in the field. In this episode, Johanna's guest is Eilish Gregory, and they'll be discussing Mary I’s legacy in the late seventeenth century.
Eilish is a postdoctoral fellow at Durham University and focuses her research on Catholicism and queenship in the early modern period. Her book, Catholics during the English Revolution, 1642-1660: Politics, Sequestration and Loyalty, was published last year and she’s recently had a chapter published in Mary I in Writing, entitled “Mary I During the Popish Plot and Exclusion Crisis: Memory and Catholic Remembrance”.

This is the final installment of this series, and focuses on the final days of Queen Elizabeth, and what those around her said happened.

William Shakespeare is one of the best-known and most challenged figures in history. He transcends any era. In the present day, his plays continue to be shared with young minds throughout our school districts. But this talented man has had his authenticity questioned for centuries.
In this episode, Heather Darsie chats with author and freelance researcher Dennis McCarthy about the premise of his book Thomas North: The Original Author of Shakespeare's Plays. Learn about the resources McCarthy used to investigate the case and what the results showed him. You might be surprised by how deep Heather digs into this conversation.

In this episode, we will jump forward a little to the 1580s to see how the 19c observer portrayed Elizabeth as she aged. We see her reaction to her ladies wanting to marry, and when those nearest displeased her, we hear her response. We also see more of Elizabeth and Dudley's relationship, how he once again was lavished with power as the Queen's favorite, and how she behaved after jealousy set in. Then we look at the trial of Mary, Queen of Scots.

In this episode, we will jump forward a little in time to the year 1573. By now, Mary, Queen of Scots, had married and buried Lord Darnley, and she had also married Lord Bothwell and abdicated her throne. At this point, Mary had already been Elizabeth's prisoner for years. They would number 19 in all, but at this point, it was still early on. So let's look at what the 19th-century observer had to say about Elizabeth's reaction to the Scottish queen and her favorite's trouble with Lady Sheffield.

As a queen consort of England, Kateryn Parr's history is often overshadowed by the events that allegedly occurred between her husband and Lady Elizabeth. The Victorian historians didn't help her reputation either. Agnes Strickland's Lives of the Queens of England depicts Parr as having an 'unrivaled skill as a nurse'.
Today I am joined by Dr. Linda Porter to get a feel for the real Kateryn Parr. Dr. Porter responds to many of the myths about Parr, as well as interesting stories about her life.

We know that Edward IV had a rather large library of books. On this episode the wonderful Danie Burton joins us to discuss Edward IV's introduction to printed books, when the printing press was brought to England, and the man who brought it.
Imagine a world where books had to be written by hand. While it guaranteed beautiful craftmanship it was not accessible to all. The printing press introduced a world to medieval England that many could not have imagined.

Welcome to Episode 122! This is the last of the off-season episodes and I’d like to thank Steph Stohrer for stepping up and helping to provide you with content for the last couple of months. The new season is going to be a bit different than what you’re used to, but you’ll still be getting all the same amazing content.
On this episode, Steph chats with critically acclaimed author, Elizabeth Fremantle. Elizabeth has published four Tudor and Elizabethan set novels which many you are likely familiar with...and, as we’ll learn today she has an announcement to make (which many of you may already know) regarding one of her books! Today, Elizabeth is here to discuss the ever scandalous Frances Howard. You’ll want to stick around to hear about this wonderfully noteworthy worthy figure in history that we seldom hear about.

-- Written by: Rebecca Larson Voiced by: Rebecca Larson & Professor Suzannah Lipscom Produced by: Rebecca Larson Imaging by: Troy Larson Music Credits:Music from https://filmmusic.io"Folk Round" by Kevin MacLeod (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)Henry VIII lived for 55 years and had many health issues, especially toward the end of his reign; But that doesn’t mean he was a healthy man prior to that.
Henry’s own interest in remedies and prescriptions were quite magnificent as well.
The health of the King was quite often public knowledge, and as you’ll discover in this episode, even his bowel movements were written about.
Royals, like today, were celebrities - to be associated with the King could bring one wealth and power, and we know that Henry VIII raised men who other monarchs may not have….because he was paranoid and had issues trusting people.
It is easy for us, living in the 21st century, to take for granted modern medicine.

I must begin with two apologies. The first being that I may sound a bit different this week as I've been battling a cold. Secondly, there was a technical difficulty in my attempt to record this interview with Tara Ball, Warden at the Tower of London. Since I was unable to record an actual interview as I usually do, Tara was kind enough to take the questions I had prepared and record her answers for me. Regardless of the setback, I believe you will truly enjoy this episode as you do all the others. Tara does a marvelous job conveying the history of the Tower.

Awhile ago, on Facebook, I asked for suggestions on guests to have on the show. One of my followers (I wish I could recall who it was to thank them) requested Margaret George. At the time I believed she was unattainable. One day I worked up the nerve to contact her and ask - what was the worst that would happen, right? I was pleasantly surprised when I heard that she was interested. This was many, many, many months ago. Today, I finally talked to her and thoroughly enjoyed our conversation.
On today’s episode I welcome another one of my favorite authors, Margaret George. Margaret and I talk about her novels: The Autobiography of Henry VIII, Mary Queen of Scotland and the Isles and Elizabeth I. We discussed where her love of history originated as well as the history behind her books. We talk about the ridiculous 72,000 people Henry VIII executed, Katheryn Howard, the TV series The Spanish Princess and even Thomas Seymour (I didn't expect it). Be sure to stick around until the end to discover something you may not have known about this prolific author.
Order her books directly from her website with links to print and ebook version to by on any platform: https://margaretgeorge.com/books/

*Note: This episode may include curse words or statements that may offend you, but let's be honest, that's what makes this one the most fun!
This episode is my final episode before I take a brief break from recording - don’t worry, I’ll be back in September. When I made the announcement that I would be switching to seasons in order to be able to spend more time with my family I figured I needed my final episode to be a big one - one to hold you over for two months. I am pleased to announce that (in my opinion) I was able to do that by booking Dan Jones as a guest.
Dan Jones is a historian and author who many of you may recognize without needing an introduction. For those who are not as familiar with Dan you may recognize him as the host of Secrets of Great British Castles on Netflix, or Britain’s Bloodiest Dynasty as well as a plethora of Tudor themed programs. Dan has eight books under his belt with his most recent one, Crusaders due out in the US his Fall.
In this episode we really cover a WIDE variety of topics and I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed recording it.
On today’s show I’m discussing a topic I feel I know very little about...William Shakespeare, but thankfully I’ll have a little help from an expert on the subject and we’ll have her answer some of your questions at the end as well.
William Shakespeare is arguably the most well-known playwright of all time - to learn more about him today I have special guest, Cassidy Cash from That Shakespeare Life podcast on to educate me, and maybe you too, on the life of William Shakespeare.
But, before we get started, here’s a little bit about Cassidy:
Cassidy Cash is an award winning filmmaker, artist, and host of the podcast That Shakespeare Life. Cassidy believes that in order to take Shakespeare’s work from page to performance, understanding the history of the man who wrote them is essential. Her work focuses on exploring the real life and history of William Shakespeare and using art to help her fellow Shakespearean's learn something new about the bard.

With this podcast I share a variety of stories from the most well-known dynasty of them all; The Tudors. From simple stories about the people of the time to the drama that was the reign of Henry VIII and of course, religion and politics.
This episode of the podcast is brought to you in part by The Falcon Nest - Handmade, history-themed jewelry. The Falcon Nest specializes in gorgeous replicas of the famous Anne Boleyn “B” necklace. See more at - the-falcon-nest.com - and be sure to use promo code TUDORSDYNASTY to receive 15% off!
So, May 19th is the 483rd anniversary of the execution of Anne Boleyn - I hate to call it an anniversary because that would indicate a celebration, and it was no real celebration for Anne. Except, without her execution I don't believe she would be as popular as she is today. Anne’s sister Mary has been mostly lost to history but part of her still carries on today - we’ll cover that more in a little bit.
On today’s show we have special guest, Christine Morgan - Christine is a historian and web series creator from Charlotte, NC and hold an MA in European History and has been invited to present her research internationally at history conference in the US and in the UK.
Her research covers the history of royal families, royal mistresses, religion, theatre, and propaganda. Christine’s web series called “Untitled History Project” which she writes, researches and hosts, has garnered support in her community and has been used as teaching material in high schools and universities in the US.

i hope you enjoy this more relaxed style of show, because it was a lot of fun to put together.

Thomas, the diplomat and the Siege of Pest is a new concept for me. I don't often speak of anything diplomatic or military, because it used to bore me. I was more interested in the relationships and the drama. Little did I know that the research for this podcast would change my mind all together. That by understanding an important piece of Thomas Seymour's history I understand him all the more. The battles, sieges and wars were a large part of Tudor lives and to neglect them is to do an injustice. So, here I go...stepping outside the box and producing a new sounding podcast about a subject I knew little of before choosing it as a topic.
If, as recommended in the podcast, you'd like to follow along on Google Maps (or wherever you prefer), here are a list of cities mentioned:
Enjoy this podcast and hope to see you next time! -Rebecca

This podcast is a bit unconventional for me. I've decided that talking about the Tudors, or any royal history, for that matter is more fun when you have someone to do it with. Sari Graham and I have become friends through social media and we share an interest in all things Tudor. I am honored to have her as a guest on the show today so she can teach me, and maybe you as well, a bit about the Wars of the Roses.

I was having a difficult time coming up with a topic for this week's podcast. I reached out to my followers on Facebook and a couple of them mentioned that they would be interested in finding out what got me interested in The Tudor dynasty in the first place. I thought it was a fantastic idea and so I ran with it.
This episode begins talking about Henry VII and the Battle of Bosworth as well as Elizabeth of York and leads up to the birth of Prince Arthur.
I discuss my genealogy, my DNA, favorite programs and so much more. If you really want to get a feel for who I am and what drives me then you'll love this episode.
*side note - I discovered later that I am NOT related to the person I mentioned. It was a bad hint. (You'll know what this means after you listen)
As always, I say thank you to all my patrons and to those of you who have supported over the years. Thanks again!
A very special thank you to Nathen Amin for allowing me to share the quote from his social media account.

On my Facebook page called, Tudors Dynasty, I asked my followers who they believed to be the most influential women of the Tudor era. It is because of this poll that I decided to turn this into a series of episodes about some amazing Tudor women.
With this episode I focused on Margaret Beaufort, someone that I have not written much about in the past so it was fun to learn more about her.

Here I wrap up my series on life in Tudor England. In the first two parts in this series I tried to really cover every day life. This time I did something a bit different but still pertains to something those living during the Tudor era would have experienced. Hope you enjoyed this series!

In the last episode, Part One of Life in Tudor England I covered, Tudor Women, Marriage, Childbirth, Fairs & Markets, Entertainment, Average Life and Food. If you missed out on that one it’s okay because each of these Tudor Life episodes can stand alone - so you can really listen to them in any order.

As many of you may already know, King Henry VIII is my favorite monarch of the Tudor dynasty. If it wasn’t for his reign I do not believe the Tudors would be as popular as they are today. In this episode I continue on my journey to explain the Henry I have learned to love...and hate.
In this series on Henry VIII I want to take a different look at the king who executed two of his six wives. My mission is to make those of you who look at him as a tyrant to see what made him into the man he became later into his reign.

This episode will focus on the events that occurred prior to King Henry VIII's death and will end with each of the sixteen men on the council and a bit about them.
I would also like to take a minute to apologize for the slaughtering of English place names, surnames and events -- I didn't realize until after the fact that I may have done a bit more research on how to pronounce a few things - my apologies, in advance.

1. February is the month she was executed
2. I have read 'Crown of Blood' by Nicola Tallis
3. I just finished 'Three Sisters Who Would Be Queen' by Leanda De Lisle
4. BBC recently had a series on her as well, so Jane is hot-topic this month.
The life of Lady Jane Grey has been told many times. Most of the stories mention an abusive home where Jane felt trapped. But they do not often make you feel like you are getting a glimpse at the real Jane.
My series on Jane will hopefully open your eyes to interesting bits you did not know.

They were both female, both royal by birth and both Queens in their own right, but being cousins is what caused the most havoc in their lives of these two women. I am of course speaking of Elizabeth Tudor and Mary Stuart.

Elizabeth Tudor has always been on the back-burner for me. While I love the fact that she is the daughter of King Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn I’ve never been as interested in her reign as I have been for her father’s.

In this final part of the series I look into the interrogations of those around Katheryn Howard, her confessions, final words and execution.
This series has truly been a labor of love. I never would have thought that I would enjoy learning so much about Katheryn Howard - she is not as boring as I had once believed.

In the last podcast we ended with Katheryn Howard married and Thomas Cromwell was executed. If you missed it, I’d recommend going back and listening to that one first, it was called Katheryn Howard: Part One.
As a queen of England Katheryn is only remembered for being the fifth wife of Henry VIII, and was executed. If it hadn’t been for her scandalous downfall, and said execution, we would not have as much interest in Katheryn as we do today.
Here is the "transcript" so to speak for this podcast: http://www.tudorsdynasty.com/katheryn-howard-part-two/

The story of Katheryn Howard intertwines with many other notable figures of the time but none more than Anne of Cleves and Thomas Cromwell. We’ll start with Katheryn’s childhood and attempt to chronologically move through time until her execution in 1542.

This week's podcast is about types of executions and victims of Henry VIII.
This topic is easily one of my favorites to discuss. In this podcast I'll list some of the methods of executions as well as the most notable ones during the reign of King Henry VIII.
