It sounds like something out of a Tudor drama—an archbishop sneaking his wife across England in a ventilated chest! But is there any truth to this wild claim?
Join me as we uncover the fascinating story of Thomas Cranmer and his secret marriage to Margarete, the niece of a Lutheran preacher. How did they keep their union hidden during a time when clerical celibacy was law? And where did the bizarre tale of the "ventilated chest" come from?
This is a story of secrecy, scandal, and a smear campaign designed to tarnish Cranmer’s reputation.
Listennow to separate fact from fiction in this colourful Tudor tale!
