Fantastic discussion!! Bess of Hardwick really is a superstar ❤

Many thanks Carol Ann and Sharon - this was both an interesting and very enjoyable discussion.

we probably should be looking at HENRY IV children... the duke of bedford, elizabeth duchess of exeter,. queen philippa of kalmar union wife to king eric of pomerania... etc,,,,

How come he’d be penniless if his mother was a wealthy heiress?

Natalie and Owen Emerson are two of my favorite "Anne" experts. Their willingness to take Anne as a "whole human" if you will is refreshing. The reinterpreted Hever Castle is something I've got to see someday! 🎉📖🥂🏰

"irregardless" will always be a pet peeve of mine 🤣❤️ I really enjoyed this one!

What a wonderful discussion. Planning on obtaining the book.

Many thanks Carol Ann for this great discussion. Thought provoking, interesting and, most of all, really entertaining.

Another fascinating discussion! Why wouldn't it have been in Catherine de Medici's/France's best interest to help Mary succeed in Scotland? (I mean, considering France and Scotland had been allies for a very long time...) It seems like she threw Mary to the wolves. Thank you for facilitating these topics of discussion! Take care.

This was an interesting interview. Thank you!

❤Love your channel 💞

Many thanks Carol Ann for this interesting episode. Your broadcast brought to mind the famous quote ( probably apocryphal) of Harold MacMillan. When asked by a journalist what was the biggest challenges facing his government, the Prime Minister replied, 'Events dear boy, Events...'

Also, I love the kinda recent looks at Mary 1. I've always seen her as a bit of a villain. I'm coming to see her as so much more now. She was absolutely of The Catholic Kings house. Unbelievable determination

Seriously we've got to get you to 1k subscribers before the new year. Come on y'all ❤ Share, like, comment, subscribe!

This was a really interesting and enjoyable episode. I recently visited the Chapel of St Peter ad Vincula and, reading the list of names on the wall, you suddenly realise the amount of souls, many of whom we read about and whose lives we study, are buried beneath you. I will certainly be adding 'Tudor Executions' to my Christmas book list. Many thanks Carol Anne, Helene and Helene's beautiful cat.

Yes i agree the blame lays flat on Henry's back with Ann. Thomas Cromwell would have never done anything without Henry's permission 🙄

I just got through listening to this again and wanted to say that Nathan came through loud and clear this time. I don't know what happened between now and 10 months ago...Anyway, I enjoyed it even more this time since the audio was more consistent. Just an FYI...Take care.

What a great episode. Love your channel.

I always enjoy listening to your guests and the topics you discuss! Thank you for your enthusiasm surrounding history! Take care.

I love that so much information and access to archives is available online. Like you said it makes it kind of hard to go to the British Library when you live in the States 😂☕🇺🇲🥂

Also, I've never been to the Folgers library. I'm hoping to visit DC this spring!!

I think another fascinating thing about the seals is how personal an object they are. I'm sure Henry didn't write all of his own letters much less stamp them all so to speak ..but at some point, the owners of these stamps would have held them. Writing, IMO is also personal. To be able to hold some of those, to touch the seals.. absolutely magical ❤️📖🗞️🖋️

Nonsense. COLLABORATION is not CO-WRITING. Collaboration indicates a sharing of ideas. It requires that the writers communicated with each other, and worked with each other to produce a finished product. There is very little evidence of Collaboration from the writers of the period. There is so little evidence that "William Shakespeare" was even a real person that their is a whole industry devoted to the Authorship of Shakespeare's Works. There is zero evidence that Shakespeare ever spoke to another person about writing, much less collaborated with another writer on a work. It may have happened, but it is even more speculative than alternative authors, and should be treated as conspiracy theory. CO-WRITING indicates that two or more writers contributed to the same work, but did not communicate with each other about, they may not have known each other, and they may not even have been alive at the same time. It has nothing to do with collaboration, and anyone who misuses the terms probably is misinterpreting the evidence as well.

Many thanks for this interesting episode - another one for the Christmas book list. Also, many thanks Rebecca for undertaking Queen Anne's biography. The Neville family, in particular the women, are fascinating individuals. Great broadcast.

Such an overlooked Queen! I'm so happy you did this interview. Absolutely fascinating woman and perspectives here 🥂

Thank you for highlighting - I will certainly add this to the book list.

Among her many positive characteristics, it was her discipline and self composure I most admire. I believe this (alongside her faith and patience ) enable her to survive during those most turbulent of years. There is certainly a lot to learn from the life of Margaret Beaufort. Many thanks Carol Ann for this interesting and enjoyable broadcast, I look forward to next Monday's episode.

This was such an interesting episode - and so much fun! Many thanks Carol Ann

I love your video's and how you put the past into perspective for ordinary people such as myself to understand. I have a favor to ask of yourself, it involves the Tudors but starting from their beginning. I think someone should do a more indebt look into Elizabeth Woodville and I am sure it will be realized that she was not the great woman everyone has been lead to believe. She was conniving, vindictive far from a dutiful wife as Historians have painted her. Why did her first husband not leave his estate to her and their sons? Why didn't Elizabeth go through normal means to get the property back. What happened to her first husband's mother after Elizabeth became Queen, the woman who took what Elizabeth believe should have been hers. In my opinion she spread the lies about Richard and her daughter, She plotted with Margaret Beaufort to wed her daughter to Henry, while she also plotted with Margaret of Burgundy, whom I believe had one or both of the Princes with her, to place her son upon the throne destroying Henry Tudor and her own daughter Elizabeth. I am sure you will see what I am attempting to point out here. She went against the King's wishes after his death, attempting to take the power of regency while her son was a minor. But no one seems to think this wrong, all they go on are the lies spread about Richard III as the villain when I think it was more Elizabeth Woodville then anyone else.

I think Henry was ruled by his masculine ego. I think what ended his love for Katherine of A was when she sent him the bloody cape of the king of Scotland. She had been successful in battle while he had not in France. Soon afterwards he started his open romance with Bessie blout which continued for years. That must have killed Katherine. She suffered a slow death at court bless her. She loved Henry to her dying day.

Many thanks Carol Ann and Darren, this was a really enjoyable and exceptionally informative episode.

I never met my grandmother, I found her Bible with her handwriting. It is one of my greatest treasures.❤
