Royal History Geeks caught up with Dr Owen Emmerson, residents historian and castle supervisor at Hever Castle.

The magnificent Hever Castle was the home of Anne Boleyn.  We spoke to Owen about the huge role it has played in history and its importance in the lives of legendary figures.

We also talked about Hever's vast collection of portraiture and explored the elusive question of what Anne Boleyn may have actually looked like.

Lady Margaret Beaufort was the mother of Henry VII.  She played a vital role in establishing the Tudor dynasty on the throne of England.  In recent years, she has been much maligned in popular fiction.

I am joined by two authors and experts to discuss the real Margaret Beaufort.  How accurate are the depictions we see in fiction?  What were her real qualities?  What is her legacy?

Nicola Tallis is the author of ‘Uncrowned Queen’, a recent full-length biography on Margaret.  You can buy Nicola’s wonderful book here - https://www.waterstones.com/book/uncr...

Nathen Amin is the founder of the Henry Tudor Society and author of ‘The House of Beaufort.’  Check out his amazing biography of Margaret’s family - https://www.amazon.co.uk/House-Beaufo...

It was an immense privilege to sit down with historian and novelist, Alison Weir.

Alison is responsible for some of the best researched 'narrative history' on the Tudor and Plantagenet periods.  She has written novels as well as history books.  At the time of the interview, she had just released her 5th book in the 'Six Tudor Queens' fictional series: Katherine Howard, the Tainted Queen (Scandalous Queen in the USA).

Please visit Alison's website and consider buying her books from a local bookstore or online.
