2020/08/14

Back in March when lockdowns were first starting, I brought some of my favorite Tudor authors on to do Zoom chats with my online community (TudorLearningCircle.com) - Nathen stopped by to do a talk on the Beauforts. The sound isn't great - it's a zoom call, so it's not ideal - but the content is great! Buy his book House of Beaufort here: https://amzn.to/2DLW442 Hosted on Acast.

2020/04/16

In the 1540's Henry VIII began what economists have called the greatest monetary treason ever committed against citizens. What was this con job? The Great Debasement, when coins went from containing about 92% silver to less than 30%. More money to make war on France! And Ireland! Only not. It backfired.

Episode 142: A Deep Dive into 1527

Renaissance English History Podcast: A Show About the... ·

2020/03/30

About ten years ago I read One Summer by Bill Bryson, which chronicled the summer of 1927 in America. I absolutely adore Bill Bryson anyway, and this book didn't disappoint. I wanted to do something similar on this show, showcasing one year in Tudor England. Just a spotlight on one eventful year. I chose 1527 because it was 400 years before Bill Bryson's book, and also it was the year that Henry's Great Matter began, so there was a lot to talk about.You can get full show notes, sources, etc., at

Episode 139: Bad (Tudor) Romance

Renaissance English History Podcast: A Show About the... ·

2020/02/14

It's a day to celebrate love, and romance, and all that mushy stuff. And the 16th century has its share of great love stories (fun fact: the wedding vows that we use today - to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, etc - are from Cranmer's Book of Common Prayer, and were inspired by his own secret marriage). But what about the romances that went sour? They may have started off full of hope, but then it all backfired. In this episode we take a look at a couple of Bad Tudor Romances.Remember,

2019/11/28

This episode is the first in a mini series on life in Tudor London, and today I give a brief intro to what life was like in the capital during the Tudor period, followed by an exploration of the most obvious landmark in the City - St Paul's Cathedral. But it's not the St Paul's we know - it was a gothic church, that was started 400 years before our Tudor friends lived there. The other thing that is important about life around St Paul's was the publishing and bookselling businesses that sprang up

2019/11/21

In this episode we chat about how our Tudor friends traveled. There's this myth that people in medieval and early Modern England didn't travel - that they stayed in their one little area forever, and that was that. But actually, they had the travel bug, and from pilgrimages to jobs that included travel, there were plenty of opportunities to get out and see the world - or at least a piece of it.Show notes at https://www.englandcast.com/travelTudorcon tickets at
