Full Text of Readings Tuesday of the Twelfth Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 372 The Saint of the day is Saint John Fisher Saint John Fisher's Story John Fisher is usually associated with Erasmus, Thomas More, and other Renaissance humanists. His life therefore, did not have the external simplicity found in the lives of some saints. Rather, he was a man of learning, associated with the intellectuals and political leaders of his day. He was interested in the contemporary culture and eventually became chancellor at Cambridge. John Fisher had been made a bishop at 35, and one of his interests was raising the standard of preaching in England. Fisher himself was an accomplished preacher and writer. His sermons on the penitential psalms were reprinted seven times before his death. With the coming of Lutheranism, he was drawn into controversy. His eight books against heresy gave him a leading position among European theologians. In 1521, Fisher was asked to study the question of King Henry VIII's marriage to Catherine of Aragon, his brother's widow. He incurred Henry's anger by defending the validity of the king's marriage with Catherine, and later by rejecting Henry's claim to be the supreme head of the Church of England. In an attempt to be rid of him, Henry first had John Fisher accused of not reporting all the “revelations” of the nun of Kent, Elizabeth Barton. In feeble health, Fisher was summoned to take the oath to the new Act of Succession. He and Thomas More refused to do so because the Act presumed the legality of Henry's divorce and his claim to be head of the English Church. They were sent to the Tower of London, where Fisher remained 14 months without trial. Finally both men were sentenced to life imprisonment and loss of goods. When the two were called to further interrogations, they remained silent. On the supposition that he was speaking privately as a priest, Fisher was tricked into declaring again that the king was not supreme head of the church in England. The king, further angered that the pope had made John Fisher a cardinal, had him brought to trial on the charge of high treason. He was condemned and executed, his body left to lie all day on the scaffold and his head hung on London Bridge. More was executed two weeks later. John Fisher's liturgical feast is celebrated on June 22. Reflection Today many questions are raised about Christians' and priests' active involvement in social issues. John Fisher remained faithful to his calling as a priest and bishop. He strongly upheld the teachings of the Church; the very cause of his martyrdom was his loyalty to Rome. He was involved in the cultural enrichment circles as well as in the political struggles of his time. This involvement caused him to question the moral conduct of the leadership of his country. “The Church has the right, indeed the duty, to proclaim justice on the social, national and international level, and to denounce instances of injustice, when the fundamental rights of man and his very salvation demand it” (Justice in the World, 1971 Synod of Bishops).Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

This week we examine the tale of Elizabeth Barton- holy woman, prophetess, political demagogue and the figure who openly defied Henry VIII over his desire to marry Anne Boleyn. But her story is one which drops us into a world of religious fervour, popular discontent, and public humiliation, as her extraordinary tale reveals the unspoken opposition and helplessness to what the king was doing…Cover contains a detail from ‘Portrait of a Lady' by Rogier van der Weyden, c.1460, often erroneously said to be a portrait of Elizabeth Barton.

In this episode of the Anglotopia Podcast, Jonathan Thomas is joined by Heather Teysko — host of the Renaissance English History Podcast, founder of TudorCon, and one of the true pioneers of independent history podcasting. Heather started her podcast back in 2009 on a Labor Day weekend whim, with a cheap microphone and no idea how to edit audio, and has since built it into one of the longest-continuously-running independent history podcasts in the world, alongside a book community, online summits, a Tudor planner, and TudorCon — the world's first Tudor history convention, now in its seventh year. Jonathan and Heather swap stories about falling in love with Britain, building history audiences online, resisting the shiny lure of algorithm-chasing, and why genuine passion is the only thing that makes any of this work. They also dig into TudorCon 2026 — taking place October 23rd–25th at the extraordinary Agecroft Hall in Richmond, Virginia, a genuine 15th-century English manor house that was disassembled and shipped to America piece by piece — where Anglotopia is proud to be a sponsor.

Links Renaissance English History Podcast — englandcast.com TudorCon 2026 (October 23–25, Richmond VA) — tudorcon.englandcast.com Agecroft Hall, Richmond Virginia — agecrofthall.org Heather's book — The Tudor Fan Guide (Countryman Press/WW Norton, coming Summer 2027) Churchill Conference 2026 Philadelphia Friends of Anglotopia Takeaways Heather Teysko launched the Renaissance English History Podcast in 2009 — the only Tudor history podcast in existence at the time — and very nearly canceled it in 2013 when she discovered it was getting 40,000 downloads a month without her having posted a new episode in nearly a year. The spark for Heather's Tudor obsession was singing William Byrd's Ave Verum Corpus in a high school choir and realising that Byrd was writing secret Catholic music in Latin while serving Elizabeth I's Protestant court — a teenage existential crisis that never really ended. TudorCon, which began as an online summit and went in-person in 2019, is now expanding significantly for 2026 — moving from a single-track event at Agecroft Hall to a multi-track conference with five classrooms and a reception hall, thanks to a new partnership with Randolph-Macon College in Ashland, Virginia. Agecroft Hall is a genuine 15th-century Lancashire manor house that was purchased, disassembled stone by stone, and shipped to Richmond, Virginia in the 1920s by a wealthy tobacco entrepreneur who wanted to live in an authentic English manor — including the original medieval glass, which had to be transported separately by road to avoid cracking. TudorCon is deliberately designed to sit between an academic conference and a Renaissance fair — costume-friendly, open to non-academics, and built around the idea that passionate enthusiasts with deep knowledge of a specific corner of Tudor history have just as much to contribute as credentialed scholars. TudorCon From Home is a full live-streamed experience with its own host, dedicated talks, special events, and a real community feel — the online attendees even took a group screenshot last year to include in the official TudorCon group photo. Heather lived in England for two years in her mid-20s on a BUNAC visa, spending weekends picking random train destinations and exploring — including accidentally attending the Durham Miners' Parade without knowing what it was. After nearly 16 years treating her Tudor work as a hobby, Heather made a deliberate mental shift 18 months ago to treat it as a business — and has since signed a book deal with Countryman Press (an imprint of WW Norton) for The Tudor Fan Guide, due out in summer 2027. Both Heather and Jonathan agree that chasing algorithms and platform trends is a dead end — the only sustainable strategy is making content you're genuinely passionate about and trusting that your specific audience will find you. Heather is currently deep in a rabbit hole on medieval female mystics — including Julian of Norwich, Margery Kempe, and Elizabeth Barton (the Maid of Kent), the only woman in recorded history to have her head displayed on London Bridge. ⠀ Soundbites "William Byrd was writing Catholic music in Latin about transubstantiation while he was writing Protestant theological services for Elizabeth I. And something about that really spoke to the teenager in me — nobody understands my deep dark soul." — Heather on the moment that sparked a lifelong obsession. "I logged in and I looked at my statistics. And this thing was getting like 40,000 downloads a month. And I was like, what the heck? I guess I'll keep this live." — Heather on almost cancelling the podcast in 2013. "I had a young person's rail card. Every weekend I would show up at a random train station, look at where the trains were headed, and pick a place that sounded interesting. I wound up in Durham Cathedral for the miners' parade without knowing what a miners' parade was." — Heather on her two years living in England. "I wanted to build something that was a mix of an academic conference with the fun of a Renaissance fair — where you could wear costumes, but you're actually focused on the history. And I think it's pretty cool." — Heather on the founding vision of TudorCon. "Tudor nerds tend to be islands of nerdiness surrounded by people who roll their eyes when we want to talk about transubstantiation. Just having a space for all these people to be together in real time was really awesome." — Heather on why the community side of TudorCon matters more than the talks. "It's the friendliest place in the world. People are always nervous about coming if they don't know anybody. Absolutely, you can come by yourself — because it's just the nicest group of people around." — Heather on what first-time TudorCon attendees always say. "I could listen to somebody read train schedules if they were enthusiastic about it and loved it. That genuine passion for something — it's not something you see every day. When you see people who really have it, it's infectious." — Heather on what makes content communities work. "She was starting from nothing — she had nothing. And she was paying me and treating it like a business. And I had this realization: I have way more reach than she does, and I keep treating my stuff like a hobby. So it's going to always stay that way." — Heather on the moment she decided to take her own business seriously. "I used to feel guilty working on my podcast because I was like, I'm just doing my Tudor stuff. But now I'm like, actually, this is a business. Mom's going to work now. Mom needs to not be disturbed because mom is working." — Heather on the mental shift that changed everything. "There's a community dedicated to roundabouts in Wales. There are 8 billion people in the world — surely a couple thousand of them share what you're passionate about. The internet gives you the tools to bring them together." — Heather on why niche communities always find their audience. ⠀ Chapters 00:00 Introduction — Jonathan introduces Heather Teysko and TudorCon, and announces Anglotopia as a 2026 sponsor 02:17 How Tudor History Started — William Byrd, high school choir, and a teenage existential crisis about transubstantiation 04:29 Moving to England at 24 — BUNAC visas, headhunting firms, Barnet, and random train adventures 07:19 Starting the Podcast in 2009 — A Labor Day whim, a cheap microphone, and no idea how to edit 09:38 The Early Podcasting Landscape — Why nobody treated it as a business, and how the show evolved 11:00 Almost Cancelling Everything — 40,000 monthly downloads, a baby, and a very close call 12:27 Moving to Spain and Finding a Business Model — Throwing things at the wall, a failed Tudor radio network, and a slow evolution 13:44 The Online Summit That Led to TudorCon — The Facebook group, the debates, and realising community was the magic sauce 15:02 TudorCon's History — From first in-person 2019 to pandemic pivot to Richmond expansion 15:52 TudorCon 2026 — Multi-track expansion, Randolph-Macon College partnership, and why Jonathan is finally going to Agecroft 16:00 What Is Agecroft Hall? — A real 15th-century Lancashire manor house shipped to Virginia stone by stone 18:37 The TudorCon 2026 Speaker Lineup — Nathan Amin as keynote, John Dee's experiments, everyday Tudor life, and Virginia's local Tudor connections 21:21 What Surprises First-Time Attendees — The friendliness, the inclusivity, and the magic of being around your people 23:05 TudorCon From Home — The live stream, Heather's husband as host, and the group photo story 24:43 A Discount Code for Anglotopia Listeners — Details in the show notes 25:09 The Churchill Conference Comparison — Jonathan's experience and the Philadelphia America 250 connection 26:41 Building a History Community — What Heather has learned about authenticity, passion, and why shiny marketing objects always fail 29:51 On Expanding Too Far — Why Francotopia and New Zealandopia were bad ideas, and why passion can't be replicated 30:31 The New Zealand Girls' Trip — Nine months old, postpartum depression, and one of the worst decisions of Heather's life 31:52 Travelling with Infants — Jonathan's Diamond Jubilee trip with a six-month-old and the Oxford ring road 33:18 Chasing Algorithms vs. Staying Authentic — How both Jonathan and Heather learned the same lesson the hard way 34:25 The Value of Community in the Age of AI — Why human connection and shared passion can't be replicated by technology 34:54 What's Coming on the Renaissance English History Podcast — Female mystics, Julian of Norwich, Elizabeth Barton, and following the rabbit hole 36:50 The Business Shift — From "my Tudor stuff" to a real business, a book deal with WW Norton, and a Tudor app in development 41:21 Two Hobby-Turned-Businesses Compare Notes — Jonathan and Heather on what it feels like when the hard work starts paying off 42:51 Wrap-Up — Where to find Heather, TudorCon details, and a reminder that Anglotopia is a proud 2026 sponsor Video Version

In Tudor England, a dream wasn't private. It was medical evidence, potential divine communication, and possibly a message from Satan. This video explores the three frameworks Tudor people used to understand their dreams, and the story of Elizabeth Barton, the Holy Maid of Kent, whose visions made her famous across England and then got her executed in 1534.

The Percy family - owners of Alnwick Castle for more than 700 years - had various fascinating links with the Tudor kings and queens of England, but it is at their London residence of Syon House where these connections to Tudor history become even clearer. To find out more, our hosts Deborah and Daniel spoke to Sarah Ponder from Syon House, who explained what happened to the body of Henry VIII when it rested at Syon, how the Wizard Earl of Northumberland came into possession of the house in the Elizabethan period, and its previous history as an important abbey before the Dissolution of the Monasteries.You'll hear how the Holy Maid of Kent, Elizabeth Barton, is linked to Syon Abbey, the famous portrait of Lady Jane Grey on display in the house today (and Jane's own links to Syon), and even which 'Big Bang Theory' character the Wizard Earl is most like!Syon House is open on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays until the end of October, with options for guided tours on some days, and park access on others. We highly recommend a visit.If you enjoyed this edition of the Alnwick Castle Podcast, please subscribe to ensure you hear every future episode.

His life therefore, did not have the external simplicity found in the lives of some saints. Rather, he was a man of learning, associated with the intellectuals and political leaders of his day. He was interested in the contemporary culture and eventually became chancellor at Cambridge. He had been made a bishop at 35, and one of his interests was raising the standard of preaching in England. Fisher himself was an accomplished preacher and writer. His sermons on the penitential psalms were reprinted seven times before his death. With the coming of Lutheranism, he was drawn into controversy. His eight books against heresy gave him a leading position among European theologians. In 1521, Fisher was asked to study the question of King Henry VIII's marriage to Catherine of Aragon, his brother's widow. He incurred Henry's anger by defending the validity of the king's marriage with Catherine, and later by rejecting Henry's claim to be the supreme head of the Church of England. In an attempt to be rid of him, Henry first had Fisher accused of not reporting all the “revelations” of the nun of Kent, Elizabeth Barton. In feeble health, Fisher was summoned to take the oath to the new Act of Succession. He and Thomas More refused to do so because the Act presumed the legality of Henry's divorce and his claim to be head of the English Church. They were sent to the Tower of London, where Fisher remained 14 months without trial. Finally both men were sentenced to life imprisonment and loss of goods. When the two were called to further interrogations, they remained silent. On the supposition that he was speaking privately as a priest, Fisher was tricked into declaring again that the king was not supreme head of the church in England. The king, further angered that the pope had made John Fisher a cardinal, had him brought to trial on the charge of high treason. He was condemned and executed, his body left to lie all day on the scaffold and his head hung on London Bridge. More was executed two weeks later. John Fisher's liturgical feast is celebrated on June 22. Reflection Today many questions are raised about Christians' and priests' active involvement in social issues. John Fisher remained faithful to his calling as a priest and bishop. He strongly upheld the teachings of the Church; the very cause of his martyrdom was his loyalty to Rome. He was involved in the cultural enrichment circles as well as in the political struggles of his time. This involvement caused him to question the moral conduct of the leadership of his country. “The Church has the right, indeed the duty, to proclaim justice on the social, national and international level, and to denounce instances of injustice, when the fundamental rights of man and his very salvation demand it” (Justice in the World, 1971 Synod of Bishops).

Elizabeth Barton, The Maid of Kent, confessed her treason of King Henry VIII twice. Once officially. And once again, personally, as she stood ready to be hanged and beheaded. Great writing from the past with a tragic air. ️♱

On this day in Tudor history, 20th April 1578, Lady Mary Keys (née Grey), sister of Lady Jane Grey and wife of Thomas Keys, died at her home in the parish of St Botolph without Aldgate, London.Like her sisters, Mary had a sad life. Her secret marriage led to Elizabeth I imprisoning her and her husband, and they never saw each other again. Find out more about the tiny Mary who was described as "crook-backed", her marriage to a man who was said to be 6'8, and what happened to Mary and Thomas, in today's talk from Claire Ridgway, founder of the Tudor Society. Book recommendation: “The Sisters Who Would be Queen” by Leanda de Lisle. You can see this podcast as a video at the following link:https://youtu.be/amBA9_Ifjno Also on this day in Tudor history, 20th April 1534, Elizabeth Barton, the Nun of Kent, was executed for treason. Find out more about her, the visions she had concerning Henry VIII, and how she ended up being hanged, in last year’s video - https://youtu.be/rJNeSRcqIg0 

The Nun of Kent. The Holy Maid of Kent. And eventually...The Mad Maid of Kent. These were all nicknames for Elizabeth Barton, the young and spunky nun who supposedly was receiving prophetic messages from Gods and angels (all of whom had very big opinions about King Henry VIII and his bride-to-be Anne Boleyn). King Henry VIII wasn’t having this and needed to put an end to these treasonous prophecies about his downfall. To this day, the question still remains: Was Elizabeth the pious and prophetic nun she was made to be? Or was she a mischievous charlatan eager for attention?

On the third day of the KickAss Tudor Women minicourse I did last year we covered Elizabeth Barton, the Holy Maid of Kent. I hope you're enjoying this little series. I'll be back with foreign policy with the Ottoman Turks later on this month.

All I could see was the dress. The ghost of weddings past, it swept above the checkered linoleum floor and rooted me in place. My heart twisted, leaving me breathless. I jolted into motion. The quiche, forgotten, slipped sideways on my oven mitts. I steadied it and gaped through the kitchen window to the pie shop's dining area. No. No, no, no. -- Kirsten Weiss, The Quiche and the Dead Kirsten Weiss came to writing via Africa, Eastern Europe, Afghanistan, and a certain metaphysical detective, whom she invented one windy, rainy afternoon. The Riga Hayworth novels were only the beginning; Kirsten has multiple series in a variety of genres, but her books are all mysteries at heart. Her latest book doesn't just fit squarely into the cozy genre, it nails it. The Quiche and the Dead hits all the high notes. We talk about the new series, the joys of paranormal mysteries, and how transformative micro-loans can be.  I can't possibly list all of Kirsten's series in order, so I will instead link you directly to her website, where you can find all seven (7!) of her series under the Books tab. Each page gives you the series order. In addition, she has the most fun extras on her site: fortune telling here, kitchen witchery there. And for those who just can't get enough, she and Elizabeth Barton teach an online course on Everyday Magic.  You can also find her on Pinterest, and I highly recommend that you do. Kirsten gives a nod to some first-rate authors, among them P.G. Wodehouse, Oscar Wilde, Agatha Christie, and -- not his usual company! -- Stephen King. When we chatted Steampunk, I had to give a fan-girl shout-out to Gail Carriger, whose books I adore.  For those who would rather read than listen, the transcript is below. Enjoy! -- Laura ******************************************************************************** Transcript of interview with Kirsten Weiss Laura Brennan: My guest today makes writing seem effortless. Her multiple series include the Paranormal Museum cozies, the Doyle cozy mysteries, the Doyle Witch cozies, the Pie Town Mysteries, the Sensibility Grey Steampunk Suspense novels, plus other series and stories included in various anthologies… Kirsten, thank you for joining me. Kirsten Weiss: Thank you for having me. LB: One of the themes in cozies, and it's in the Quiche and the Dead, your latest novel and the first in your Pie Town mysteries, is a woman starting over. But that's your story too, right? That's how you first got yourself into writing? KW: Yes. I had worked overseas in something called microcredit for years and years and years. And I'd been in all these crazy places, I'd been to Eastern Europe, I'd worked in Afghanistan, I worked in Africa, and there was a point where I just had to come home for various reasons. And I thought all the stuff I'd done overseas, I figured I cab make this transition really easily. It actually turned out to be a really difficult transition. I struggled, I ended up unemployed for a long time, ended up with a job that I just wasn't suited for and I eventually quit that because I was quite certain I was going to be fired, although that turned out not to be true. But I quit, and it was a rainy, stormy day and I was driving down the street, the wind was lashing my windshield and the trees were tossing, and I was kind of brainstorming by myself what kind of potential jobs I could do. When you brainstorm, there's no such thing as a bad idea. As I came up with "private detective." And then the phrase, "metaphysical detective" popped into my head. Then I thought, what the heck is a metaphysical detective? And I started piecing together this character named Riga Hayworth who was a metaphysical detective in San Francisco. So I wrote this book, and that led to the second book, and then I just kept on writing and writing and writing. Now it's what I do. LB: That's so neat. Now, I actually do want to talk a little bit about microcredit.
