Life in Tudor England | Not Just the Tudors 

Good to hear more about the Plantagenet influences which are too often overlooked when discussing the Tudors. It is often forgotten that Henry VIII was a grandson of Edward IV, the physical resemblance and stature are clear, as with his brother Arthur. Edward IVs line did not end in the War of the Roses, it continued through the Tudors.

This is very good, thank you both

I love Suzanne Lipscomb

I love this

Excellent content. Sounds like a very balanced unbiased account

Very interesting! I am really looking forward to getting a copy and reading this book!

One thing I really appreciate about this: I have long hated the supposedly feminist concept of "women's history". People, since humans are first thought to have existed, live alongside each other (for better or worse.) Human history is the story of All of them, intertwined and dealing with one another. It belittles a woman from history to pull her out of her context and imagine she needs to be looked at as if the male people she interacted with "take away" from her story. The people we interact with are a part of shaping our story. A woman, say Mary I since she is prominent in this podcast, is not marginalized if one admits that she interacted with men during her lifetime. Women don't need to be coddled by being "separated out of all of history" to have their stories told.

Lovely narratortion applause

Love the content on this. It’s fascinating. I hate to be critical because you are both so brilliant, but the production value distracts from the content. The edits are a bit jarring and there is a lot of background noise. I just love hearing what you both have to say so much, but it is difficult with the other noises. I hope you will take this as constructive criticism, not unkind criticism.

Thanks to the commenter who deplored the "women's history " thing. I have always been angered by it too as well as "women's literature " ❤
