Dr Linda Porter is a historian and author who has just released her sixth book, the thistle and the rose - the extraordinary life of Margaret Tudor. She joins me today for a discussion all about King Henry VIII’s older sister, who reigned as Queen of Scotland beside her husband King James IV. Margaret weathered many storms, including the difficulty of her first husband going to war against her native homeland, and then the disaster of her second and third marriages respectively. Margaret does however have a major legacy, one still extremely present in the British identity today, and in Linda’s book she explores this fascinating character who for too long has been all but overlooked.
