In this episode of All Things Tudor, Dr Joanne Paul joins Deb to discuss the Dudleys, and her new book, The House of Dudley.

They were never far from the epicenter of power in Tudor England. From Henry VII and Edmund Dudley, Dr Joanne Paul traces the roller coaster ride of this charismatic family throughout the Tudor dynasty. Each generation found a way to stay relevant at the Tudor Court and use a cat like finesse to always land on their feet, often at the cost of losing their heads. The ever mysterious relationship of Elizabeth I and the Earl of Leicester is a prime example of how they played with power.
