Renaissance English History Podcast: A Show About the Tudors

How's that for a long title? In this episode I look at the Knights of the Order of St John, and the rising threat of the Ottoman Turks. It's the first in a two part series on the foreign policy with the Turks, and in the next episode I'll look at the years leading up to Lepanto.
