My 12 Great Aunty Rose Lock lived until 86 in Tudor times. 😊 Her father Sir William Lock my 13 great grandfather also passed away 70. Pretty amazing for then especially being Protestant’s after Henry & Edward passed. Mary became queen as we know and my aunty & her family fled to Antwerp and came back when Elizabeth was in power. 😊

Lesley was awesome. Educational and fun.
Thank you Lesley for a life of study.

This was wonderful. Thank you Philippa! The question I still have is about miscarriage. What did women do in the days before D&Cs? Any tissue left behind could have been dangerous, yes? Did women die post-miscarriage or were there things that midwives could do to fully evacuate a uterus of remaining tissue?
This is great women's bottom-up history. Please interview her again and bring us more bottom-up history. I love monarchs & other high-status person history as much as the next guy, but we need more of this!

This was so interesting. I was not familiar with Leslie Smith before this talk and found her very enjoyable. Thanks, Philippa, for another great interview!

[@shonamcwilliam2842]

I learnt a lot in this discussion. Really interesting.
I do remember the vegetable Mandrake being used as an abortive remedy for an unwanted pregnancy in a movie.

They didn't do human dissections, but surely any butcher could have told them that you never find a cow or an ewe or a mare with their uterus going walkabout.........
