Podcasts about arbella stuart

Come with us this week as we take a journey into the Tudor Court with perhaps the most tragic story of the time. Arbella Stuart is our focus this week, and her tale is ever so tragic. It could have been a regular life for this girl, except that she was related to every single person in the royal line-up, and that makes for very dangerous times to be a girl in the 16th century. So many connected players, so many spiderwebs in this one – buckle up for some Big Royal Energy! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

"A number of these women were voicing feelings, ambition, anger, that they weren't allowed to express elsewhere in their society." “I love that, for a number of these women, the battles were small personal ones.  Some, like Charlotte Forton, were fighting huge public battles. But others were just opening the doors, moving,  moving the goalposts  on in their own small ways. "The immediate privacy of the diary form allowed them to voice those unacceptable feelings, anger, ambition, discontent."  "Self-expression is so important, and for women, keeping a diary or journal is a great way to tell your truth and perhaps, as we talked about, never share it."   Mentioned: SarahGristwood.com Secret Voices.

Alex Walsh is the author behind the hit historical fiction book series, the Marquess House Saga. In Alex's books, she has built what I consider to be the historians dream, with a compelling and fascinating story in which a pair of sisters find their lives overturned and directly tied to significant periods of history. Consisting of dual timelines, Alex's series has reimagined the stories of some of histories most infamous women, telling alternative tales of the lives of Catherine Howard, Elizabeth I, Arbella Stuart and Jane Seymour, all of which, whilst fictitious, are plausible and so rich in detail that you can't help but think, I wish this was all true! She joins me today for a fascinating discussion about her work, her inspiration, how she came up with the series and much much more!

She's one the lesser known Tudor's, but has a story as dramatic and shocking as many of her more famous relatives. The direct descendant of Henry VII, Lady Arbella Stuart was a one time candidate to succeed Queen Elizabeth I, and yet her story is one seldom explored or discussed at any length. To help me unpack the story of this lost Tudor Princess I am thrilled to welcome Historian, Author and Broadcaster Sarah Gristwood onto The Tudor Chest Podcast. Sarah's book, "Abrella, England's Lost Queen" is the sole in depth examination of this fascinating figure, and so she was the ideal guest to come onto the show. Enjoy! 

Let's dive into the captivating story of Arbella Stuart, the Tudor-era royal often overlooked by history. Born into a lineage of power and ambition, Arbella's life was marked by political intrigue, imprisonments, and a daring escape.

Who was Arbella Stuart? Why is she so significant and why isn't she talked about more? I'm joined by Dr Kat Marchant (Reading the Past) to talk about the Queen we never had, Arbella Stuart.Dr Kat is also a speaker at this Autumn's British History Online History Festival: The Stuart Summit.

Lady Arbella Stuart (1575-1615) is one of the lesser-known figures from Tudor and Stuart history. She was Mary Queen of Scots's niece and granddaughter to both Margaret Douglas and Bess of Hardwick. This genealogy meant she was both a threat to Queen Elizabeth and James I/VI (her cousin), but also that she was used as a figurehead by people who wanted to promote their own interests. Her life was like Grey Gardens meets Rapunzel, and all our girl wanted to do was run off and get secret sexy married like her ancestor/role model Katherine Grey had done. And when she finally took her fate into her own hands, it all got WILDLY scandilicious.

Making secret marriages, creating the right image, navigating court politics, and escaping in disguise—just another Tudor family story!From her birth in 1575, Arbella had a claim to the throne. As Queen Elizabeth was in her 40s with no plans to marry, the chances of her giving birth were rapidly diminishing. That represented the end of Henry VIII’s descendants. Then there were the descendants of Henry’s elder sister, Margaret Tudor. Margaret’s son had been James V of Scotland; at his death, his daughter Mary became Queen of Scotland. Now she was an essentially a prisoner in England with her son James VI reigning in her stead. Many in England dismissed all these claimants as they had been born in Scotland and therefore were not eligible for the English throne. But Margaret Tudor’s daughter, Margaret Douglas, had been born in England. So had her two sons, Henry and Charles. Henry, Lord Darnley had been murdered in Scotland (where he had become King by marrying Mary Queen of Scots) in 1567. Charles, Earl of Lennox, died a year after Arbella’s birth.So from the death of her father in 1576, Arbella was considered by some to be the descendant of Henry VII with the best claim to the throne. No one had made a better career of marrying her way to wealth and influence than Bess of Hardwick. The Queen could insist on a single life, demanding her court have but one mistress and no master. But for the rest of the country, a favorable marriage was a woman’s greatest path to wealth and security. With her perceived nearness to the English throne, Arbella was seen as a prime target for men all over England and Europe. For more than 10 years, her name was at the center of potential marriage alliances with the major single princes of Europe. Arbella’s family was determined to create the most profitable alliance for her and for themselves.Bess of Hardwick commissioned the portrait to raise Arbella’s profile at court and on the continent. Queen Elizabeth even said of Arbella, “Look to her; she will be one day even as I am.” But it’s possible Bess had overplayed her hand. Perhaps the ongoing presence of the young, lovely, marriageable Arbella, who was expecting to be named as heir, was too much for Elizabeth to bear. Bess and Arbella were sent away from court from time to time.As the years went on, Arbella’s chances of succeeding Elizabeth began to fade. She felt exiled at Hardwick, away from court and repeatedly denied the chance of marriage. Her favor with the Queen was diminishing. Could Bess and Arbella clear the path to Elizabeth's throne?

Sarah Gristwood reveals the high drama of Arbella Stuart's life. She was Queen Elizabeth's chosen heir for the throne, but she ended up dying alone in the Tower of London. Kirstin Downey explains the bloody legacy left by Queen Isabella who unified Spain but kicked off the Inquisition.

Today in 1608 Bess of Hardwick was laid to rest. She is one of the most inspirational Tudor women to me - she was born into minor gentry, and rose to become the second wealthiest woman in England, second only to the Queen. She also was highly involved in the politics of the time - her final husband was the jailer of Mary Queen of Scots, which put enormous strain on their marriage. She also worked to set up a dynasty through her granddaughter Arbella Stuart, who had a very good claim to the English throne upon Elizabeth’s death.

Arbella Stuart was a pawn her entire life—a possible successor to Queen Elizabeth I and a valuable marriage prospect to be dangled before foreign princes. But when Arbella finally decided to take her life into her own hands, she ignited a series of events straight out of a Shakesperean tragedy.

Today we chat about Arbella Stuart, who may have become queen after Elizabeth, and how those succession laws worked anyway.
