Renaissance English History Podcast: A Show About the Tudors episodes

August 28, 2025 Episode 305: Queens, Nuns, and Heiresses
In this episode, we turn from the famous princes in the Tower to their lesser-known sisters... the daughters of Edward IV and Elizabeth Woodville. From Elizabeth of York, the Tudor queen who united two warring houses, to Cecily’s scandalous second marriage, Anne’s unhappy union with the Howards, Catherine’s children who would one day alarm Henry VIII, Bridget’s quiet life in a convent, and Mary’s early death, these women shaped the Yorkist legacy in very different ways.

August 24, 2025 Lutes, Spies, and Rock and Roll
Grammy-nominated lutenist Ronn McFarlane and Richmond guitarist Andrew McEvoy join me ahead of their Tudorcon2025 concert to talk Tudor music, the surprising ties between rock, folk, and the lute, and why court musicians were sometimes accused of being spies.
I could have chatted with them for hours - this was such a fun conversation.

August 20, 2025 Episode 304: The York Sisters
This episode explores the forgotten women of the Yorkist dynasty - the sisters of Edward IV and Richard III. Anne of York, Elizabeth of York (Duchess of Suffolk), and Margaret of York (Duchess of Burgundy) each lived through the turbulence of the Wars of the Roses and the rise of the Tudors, but their fates were far from simple. From disastrous marriages and confiscated inheritances to sons who defied the Tudors and foreign alliances that reshaped Europe, their stories reveal how dynastic bloodlines continued to haunt Henry VII and Henry VIII long after Bosworth.

From serving queens like Jane Seymour and Catherine Howard to supplying garments for Catherine Parr, she moved between ceremony, politics, and business in a world that rarely remembered women’s contributions. This episode was originally released as a members-only minicast in 2024.
