No advisor was more important to King Henry VIII than Cardinal Thomas Wolsey. He captured Henry's attention with his brilliance and became his most trusted confidant.  But when the King wanted to divorce Catherine of Aragon, not even the eloquent Wolsey could convince the Pope to agree. In this edition of Not Just the Tudors, first released in January 2022, Professor Suzannah Lipscomb talks to Wolsey's biographer Professor Glenn Richardson, about the man who was responsible for building Henry VIII's reputation as England's most impressive king but ended up being accused of treason.Hear more:Wolf Hall: Who's Who >Six Wives: Catherine of Aragon >Presented by Professor Suzannah Lipscomb.

Imagine being confined to your home with no hope of release. In Tudor times, house arrest wasn't just an inconvenience; it was a political weapon used to control and punish powerful figures. In this video, I explore some of the most famous cases of house arrest in the Tudor period, from queens and princesses to ambitious courtiers. Catherine of Aragon was banished from court and separated from her daughter, while young Princess Elizabeth (the future Elizabeth I) was held under strict watch at Woodstock Palace. The Grey sisters lost their freedom for secret marriages, and Robert Devereux, Earl of Essex, learned the hard way that barging into the queen's chambers uninvited was not a good idea! Some prisoners of house arrest eventually regained their power, while others never escaped their confinement. But was house arrest a merciful alternative to prison—or just another way to ruin lives?

El historiador Pedro Ciria Uez ha encontrado en la novela histórica el marco perfecto para hacer llegar a más lectores algunos episodios de la historia de Aragón. Lo conocimos con su reconstrucción de la historia de Jose María Gayarre, primer presidente del Real Zaragoza en “La Inocencia del croasan” y regresó con “18 de julio”, ambientada, en lo que sucedió desde la noche del viernes 17 de julio al golpe militar del 36 en la ciudad de Zaragoza, ambas publicadas con Editorial Doce Robles.Ahora, Pedro Ciria añade un nuevo capítulo a esta historia que publica en la colección Historia de Aragón en Novela de Doce Robles y da un giro en un camino. “La última bandera”, ambientada en plena guerra civil, el 13 de febrero de 1937, y que arranca, nada menos que con un cadáver decapitado colgado en un campanario de Fraga, dentro de la zona republicana. En la trama, dos conocidos falangistas, implicados en las muertes de Fermín Galan en Jaca y Ramón Acin, en Huesca, aparecen asesinados en dos lugares simbólicos, Monte Julia y Fraga con apenas un mes de diferencia. Aunque el modus operandi es distinto, ambos llevan un mensaje dibujado en el pecho desnudo.Es el comienzo de una investigación que involucra a dos agentes del Consejo de Aragón y a un periodista, lo que nos permite conocer más sobre ese episodio único en la historia en un thriller policíaco que es también un relato político y social sobre los primeros meses de la guerra civil en Aragon.

Co-Host Wesley Tian (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/aragon) About a year and a half ago I produced a now-infamous audio program called Women And AI. I covered the good, the bad and the ugly about how AI was--and will continue to--affect us as men as we date and relate to women. But here we are in March of 2025, and there's no denying the AI ship has sailed. This is NOT a fad. You can either lead, follow or get out of the way. Wesley Tian of Aragon.ai is one who made the firm decision to lead. Ever notice how every realtor, lawyer and quasi-public figure has an AMAZING professional headshot lately? Yeah, that's probably because they hit Wesley up for his services. Wesley is my guest this week, and I'm going to openly admit he has challenged my entire thought process regarding AI in many ways. For starters, I actually gave Aragon.ai a whirl, and yes...the pictures look like me. Not only that, they look like me with a better wardrobe that I didn't have to go out and buy for a photo shoot, and are at least as high-quality as any professional photographer would have been able to capture, for probably 8% of the cost...and without half a day wasted on it, either. It struck me that these 'fake' pictures were absolutely more REAL than, say, any retouched photo or certainly any Glamour Shot ridiculousness from the '80s and '90s. But here's the thing... Wesley also specializes in online dating pictures. That's where I'm still not completely convinced. But we'll report, and you decide. Either way, the future is here...and everyone who's on the bandwagon will have an undeniably clear advantage.

Hola amigos!, welcome back to Spanish Loops! Today, we're digging into the life of Miguel Servet, a 16th-century Spanish polymath. Born around 1511 in Villanueva de Sigena, Aragon, Servet was a theologian, physician, and humanist. He had a knack for languages, mastering Latin, Greek, and Hebrew early on. His academic journey took him to Toulouse for law and later to Paris for medicine.​Servet's medical insights were groundbreaking. He was among the first Europeans to describe pulmonary circulation, detailing how blood moves from the heart to the lungs and back—a revelation that challenged existing beliefs.​But it was his theological views that stirred the pot. In works like "De Trinitatis Erroribus" (1531), he questioned the concept of the Trinity, ruffling feathers in both Catholic and Protestant circles. Facing backlash, he adopted the pseudonym Michel de Villeneuve and relocated to France.In 1553, Servet published "Christianismi Restitutio," further challenging mainstream theology and including his findings on blood circulation. This led to his arrest and trial in Geneva, where, under John Calvin's influence, he was condemned for heresy and burned at the stake on October 27, 1553.​Servet's legacy is profound, influencing religious tolerance debates and advancing medical science.That's it for today's episode on Miguel Servet.

In this episode, host Reese Tisdale is joined by Bluefield colleagues Keith Hays and Chloé Meyer to unpack the rapid expansion of data centers in Spain and the growing challenges related to water and energy management. With Aragon alone seeing over €33 billion in announced investment, this conversation explores the trade-offs between hyperscale growth, resource constraints, and local response. Key Topics Covered: Why dig into this topic now? Driven by AI, global data consumption is accelerating and Spain is emerging as a major data center hub. Developers are now facing growing pressure to balance growth with limited resources like land, energy, and water. What makes Spain an attractive market for data centers? Spain offers lower energy and land costs, fast-track approvals, and strategic geographic positioning compared to more constrained FLAP-D markets. How are companies addressing growing concerns around water use? Developers are taking different approaches: Meta is revising its cooling strategies with air and dry-cooling to reduce water use, while AWS is investing in leak detection, offset projects, and local water infrastructure. How are local communities responding to exponential data center growth? While regions like Aragon are expanding rapidly, others like Lleida are pushing back over water use and long-term economic benefits. How will AI-driven growth shape future water and energy demands? AI workloads are accelerating data center demand, leading to higher energy density and cooling needs.

Henry VIII's desire to divorce Catherine of Aragon changed England; it could be justified by a biblical law that prohibited a man from marrying his brother's widow, yet another passage seemed to suggest otherwise. In a surprising move, Henry called upon Italian rabbis to interpret these ancient laws.Professor Suzannah Lipscomb delves into the turbulent world of the Tudors, where the lines between faith and politics blurred. She's joined by Jerry Rabow to explore how Jewish, Catholic and Protestant perspectives intertwined and ultimately raised more questions than answers.Presented by Professor Suzannah Lipscomb.

In this, the second of 3 episodes, recorded live, discussing the factors going on in Rome which effected Henry VIII's ultimately failed attempt to secure a divorce from his first wife Katherine of Aragon, we look at the Sack of Rome itself. WARNING - this episode will include descriptions of act of violence, all which occurred in 1527, almost 500 year ago but still upsetting. In the previous episode we focussed on the events which led up to Imperial troops appearing at the walls of Rome, bent on violence. It is against this backdrop that Henry VIII petitioned the pope for a divorce from Katherine of Aragon. In the next episode we will look at Henry's 'Great Matter' and how events in Rome would have a lasting impact on the church, and therefore population, of England.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss Catherine of Aragon (1485-1536), the youngest child of the newly dominant Spanish rulers Ferdinand and Isabella. When she was 3, her parents contracted her to marry Arthur, Prince of Wales, the heir to the Tudor king Henry VII in order to strengthen Spain's alliances, since Henry's kingdom was a longstanding trade partner and an enemy of Spain's greatest enemy, France. For the next decade Catherine had the best humanist education available, preparing her for her expected life as queen and drawing inspiration from her warrior mother. She arrived in London to be married when she was 15 but within a few months she was widowed, her situation uncertain and left relatively impoverished for someone of her status. Rather than return home, Catherine stayed and married her late husband's brother, Henry VIII. In her view and that of many around her, she was an exemplary queen and, even after Henry VIII had arranged the annulment of their marriage for the chance of a male heir with Anne Boleyn, Catherine continued to consider herself his only queen.With Lucy Wooding Langford Fellow and Tutor in History at Lincoln College, University of Oxford and Professor of Early Modern History at Oxford Maria Hayward Professor of Early Modern History at the University of SouthamptonAnd Gonzalo Velasco Berenguer Lecturer in Global Medieval and Early Modern History at the University of BristolProducer: Simon Tillotson In Our Time is a BBC Studios Audio ProductionReading list:Michelle Beer, Queenship at the Renaissance Courts of Britain: Catherine of Aragon and Margaret Tudor, 1503-1533 (Royal Historical Society, 2018)G.

Catherine wasn't at Flodden… yet her role in England's victory was still crucial.   As regent in Henry VIII's absence, she was no passive queen. She rallied troops, arranged for supplies, and even wanted to send Henry a gruesome trophy—King James IV's body!   So, was she a warrior queen in the traditional sense? Or does her real power lie in her sharp political mind and strong leadership? Let's uncover the truth behind the myth!

In July of the year 1263, the Dominican friar Pablo Christiani met to debate Rabbi Moses ben Nahman, sometimes known as Nahmanides, to discuss whether Jesus was the messiah, and thus whether Christianity or Judaism had a greater claim to truth. They conducted this debate in the court of King James of Aragon, who famously guaranteed the rabbi's freedom of speech, allowing Nahmanides to advance even arguments that, being regarded as heretical by Christian clergy, would have otherwise caused him to be imprisoned or worse. These proceedings are known, famously, in history as the Disputation of Barcelona. To understand fully the context of this debate, one has to know something more about the Dominican friar Pablo Christiani: he was not born Pablo Christiani. In fact, he was born as a Sephardi Jew with the birth name of Saul. Only later in life, having lived as a Jewish man and having been exposed to some Jewish learning, did he convert to Catholicism. Joining the Dominican order as a friar, Saul—newly dubbed Pablo—dedicated his life to converting the Jews, possibly with argument and persuasion—he liked to use statements from talmudic texts as evidence for Christian theology—but also through the threat of violence and force. What is it that would so compel a person to turn against his own family, his own teachers, his own neighbors, his own religion—and not as a matter of indifference but as a matter of revenge on the sources of his own formation? That is one of the questions that runs underneath a new story by the legendary essayist, novelist, and short-story writer Cynthia Ozick. This work is called “The Conversion of the Jews,” and it was published in Harper's in May 2023. Ozick's “The Conversion of the Jews” follows a twenty-four-year-old scholar of words and languages named Solomon Adelberg, as he, in the early 1930s, attempts to discover how and why Christiani undertook his conversion. These questions lead Adelberg to a hollowed-out monastery in the Judean desert, through the occult world of mysticism and magic, and eventually to attempting a séance with the icon of a saint in his Lower East Side apartment. To discuss that story, and the many ideas, themes, and questions it raises, Cynthia Ozick joins Mosaic's editor Jonathan Silver on our podcast (originally broadcast in 2023).

Adam Franklin-Lyons joins Jana Byars to talk about Shortage and Famine in the Late Medieval Crown of Aragon (Penn State Press, 2022). In the late fourteenth century, the medieval Crown of Aragon experienced a series of food crises that created conflict and led to widespread starvation. Adam Franklin-Lyons applies contemporary understandings of complex human disasters, vulnerability, and resilience to explain how these famines occurred and to describe more accurately who suffered and why.  Shortage and Famine in the Late Medieval Crown of Aragon details the social causes and responses to three events of varying magnitude that struck the western Mediterranean: the minor food shortage of 1372, the serious but short-lived crisis of 1384–85, and the major famine of 1374–76, the worst famine of the century in the region. Shifts in military action, international competition, and violent attempts to control trade routes created systemic panic and widespread starvation—which in turn influenced decades of economic policy, social practices, and even the course of geopolitical conflicts, such as the War of the Two Pedros and the papal schism in Italy. Providing new insights into the intersecting factors that led to famine in the fourteenth-century Mediterranean, this deeply researched, convincingly argued book presents tools and models that are broadly applicable to any historical study of vulnerabilities in the human food supply. It will be of interest to scholars of medieval Iberia and the medieval Mediterranean as well as to historians of food and of economics. Learn more about your ad choices.
