In our first ever special guest episode, John from the Prime Time: Prime Ministers podcast tells us all about Parliament in the reign of Henry VII.

Why was parliament so full of marriage councelors? What do Eleanor of Provence and Liz Truss have in common? What did the members of the House of Commons have to fear from hordes of hungry monks? And why did Penny Mordaunt give a long parliamentary speech about chickens? You might need to cover any young listeners' ears for that one...

What a nice man!  Scholar, Franciscan.  Lovely.

So what happened when he became Pope....and can we blame THE NEPHEWS?

We don't have to wait for Walsingham to find out about spies.  Edward IV and Henry VII both had their spy networks.  But who were they, what did they do and what happened when they got caught?

Notary, priest, right-hand man to Cardinal Archbishop Morton... and the first known English playwright (technically). Not bad for a lad from Southwark, especially compared to his brother.

Join us for truly hellish theatrical reviews, philosophical vices, unexpected feminism, and the most metatheatrical play you're likely to find before the 20th century...

Mid-episode Transition Music: "Folk Round" by Kevin MacLeod from https://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/music.html 

Everyone has heard of Shakespeare, but what was going on in the world of drama a century before the height of the Elizabethan Stage?

What could the subjects of Henry VII go and see? Why might Ali from the Rex Factor podcast have another reason to dislike St Dunstan? How did community theatre traumatise at least two kings? Who were the most dramatic monks? And which demon should you watch out for if you start to nod off in church?

The show is about to start, so grab your anachronistic popcorn and get ready...

This is the story of Pier and Bianca.  You can see examples of their love in the beatiful frescos of Torrechiaro.

Just hope the wife doesn't find out.
