Sir John Fastolf very kindly gave John Paston all his property on his death bed.  Does this prove to be a poison chalice?  Tiny clue......Yes!

We were a bit scathing about John when we did Margaret's episode.  Were we right or did we malign him?   Relevant Episode - Cameo 39 - Margaret Paston | Tudoriferous   Join our Patreon family for yet more episodes - Tudoriferous | creating a Podcast discussing the great, good and mad Tudor Era | Patreon

There are hundreds of places in Britain named after the Devil, many with their own explanatory folktale.  We look at the question, given that surely the Devil is a very scary concept, why did people make up stories that made him look a fool?

A truly extraordinary story of survival.  They set off for Florida with 610 people and 80 horses, in the end there were just four people and no horses    ...   so maybe survival isn't the word.   Join our Patreon family for yet more episodes - Tudoriferous | creating a Podcast discussing the great, good and mad Tudor Era | Patreon

What happened to the Americas after Columbus inflicted himself on the continent.....and what effect did that have on Europe?  We'll give you a clue, it worked out a lot better for one of them than the other.

A black, former slave conquistador.  I had no idea such people existed.

You can't keep a good man down.  Last time we killed him off and yet he rises again.  This time we try to explain some of the beliefs that sent Columbus on his trip in the first place and we look at how he has been viewed throughout history and now.   Should he get Tudorlicious?  Please vote at Episode Information – Tudoriferous (wordpress.com)   If you'd like more information about Prester John, Gone Medieval has done an episode on him https://open.spotify.com/episode/4bm6KPghwwIpnDDf4URD3Q   Related Episodes Cameo 34 - 1492 And All That - Bartolomé de las Casas. | Tudoriferous (podbean.com) S1 - 007 - John Cabot | Tudoriferous (podbean.com)   Join our Patreon family for yet more episodes - Tudoriferous | creating a Podcast discussing the great, good and mad Tudor Era | Patreon

Columbus' third and fourth voyages.  Within very few years of finding the Indies, the Spanish are tearing themselves apart.  Columbus has an ignominious journey home followed by a lengthy stay on a paradise island.

Columbus' second voyage.  Please be warned, this is a very sad subject and the episode involves some distressing scenes.  Please make sure you're in the right frame of mind before listening.  We felt that it was important to show the whole grim story.

We now see what happens when Columbus and his men arrive at the Indies and meet the local inhabitants....and I am sure that it is all good!   Join our Patreon family for yet more episodes - Tudoriferous | creating a Podcast discussing the great, good and mad Tudor Era | Patreon

This is the first of ten episodes on the ramifications of Columbus' voyage. Columbus.  A famous - infamous - name.  A man who splits opinion ... although on this podcast we were unanimous in our opinion of him.  This episode was so long we split it into two. P.S.

Gigli Number Two.  That mixture of religion, intrigue, revenge and violence that we've come to expect from this period.

Gigli Number One.  This one is a gouty embezzler with a penchant for other people's gloves.

'A stern and haughty man, odious at Court and more generally in the country.'  Francis Bacon.

A brave, possibly reckless man who made French ambassadors cry. Definitely the man closest to King Henry.....definitely.

Hooray!  It's an accountant.  No, don't go away!
