What better way to get prepared for the new PBS Masterpiece Series "Wolf Hall: The Mirror & The Light" then having a history deep dive episode about The Tudors! Henry VIII may be the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about this reign, but there's so much more to it!

Join Stephanie in a "Crash Course" on this time in history (1485-1603) as she explores this famous family line. Listen to this episode before the next one to understand the context of upcoming discussion on how the Tudors are portrayed in the media (TV and movies, etc.)

Hope you enjoy!
