Renaissance English History Podcast: A Show About the Tudors

I was capital-T Thrilled to interview Helen Castor on her new book, The Eagle and the Hart, on Richard II and Henry IV - in this interview we cover how 16th century historians can learn from this period in history several generations before, the tragedy of Richard, the lessons the Tudors learned, and more.

Helen Castor is an acclaimed medieval and Tudor historian. Her first book, Blood and Roses: The Paston Family in the Wars of the Roses, was longlisted for what is now known as the Baillie Gifford Prize for Nonfiction and won the English Association’s Beatrice White Prize. Get The Eagle and the Hart wherever you get your books!

About a year ago I did an episode on Royal Mistresses that seemed to be pretty popular, and so we're back with a look at some of the most prominent medieval and Tudor mistresses with love stories that had happy endings (Katherine Swynford) to ones that didn't so much (Jane Shore) and even some later Elizabethan mistresses.

Thanks for listening, and remember you can still hop into Yuletide with the Tudors
