Tudor History with Claire Ridgway

The Tudor Earl Who Dabbled in Magic & Murder


Listen Later

On this day in Tudor history, 10th February 1564, Henry Neville, 5th Earl of Westmorland, died—but not before leaving behind a legacy of scandal, treason, and even magic!
 
- Gambling debts pushed him to desperate measures—he bought a magic ring that supposedly summoned angels to help him, but did it work? (Spoiler: No.)
- Then came the shocking accusations—plotting against his own wife and father!
- Imprisoned for conspiracy, robbery, and treason, yet somehow, he kept landing on his feet.
- Married three times, including a controversial match that raised eyebrows at court.
 
Was he a reckless schemer, a lucky survivor, or just a product of his time? His story sounds more like historical fiction than reality!
 
Listen now to uncover the full tale of magic, murder plots, and Tudor scandal!
