The revealing and entertaining new podcast about all things 17th century. Paul and Miranda talk to historian Jessie Childs about her acclaimed book 'The Siege of Loyalty House', which takes us back to the fierce struggle of the Civil War of the 1640s in all its gore and glory. It's a gripping story told through the lens of the besieged royalist stronghold of Basing House in Hampshire, and the people who lived in and around it. Jessie shows how a siege can become a perfect microcosm in which to experience the very best and worst of humanity - barbarism and civility, hatred and love. And she finds echoes of the siege in current events in Ukraine. '1666 and All That' is presented by Paul Lay and Miranda Malins. The producer is Hugh Costello. Original music by George Taylor. The episode is mixed by Alfie Thompson.  Don't want to miss the next episode? Remember to subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.

The Civil War was the most traumatic conflict in British history, pitting friends and family members against each other, tearing down the old order.Award-winning historian Jessie Childs plunges the reader into the shock of the struggle through one of its most dramatic episodes: the siege of Basing House. To the parliamentarian Roundheads, the Hampshire mansion was a bastion of royalism, popery and excess. Its owner was both a Catholic and a staunch supporter of Charles I. His motto Love Loyalty was etched into the windows. He refused all terms of surrender.As royalist strongholds crumbled, Loyalty House, as it became known, stood firm. Over two years, the men, women and children inside were battered, bombarded, starved and gassed. Their resistance became legendary. Inigo Jones designed the fortifications and the women hurled bricks from the roof. But in October 1645, Oliver Cromwell rolled in the heavy guns and the defenders prepared for a last stand.Drawing on exciting new sources, Childs uncovers the face of the war through a cast of unforgettable characters: the fanatical Puritan preacher who returns from Salem to take on the king; the plant-hunting apothecary who learns to kill as well as heal; the London merchant and colonist who clashes with Basing's aristocratic lord; and Cromwell himself who feels the hand of God on his sword. And we hear too the voices of dozens of ordinary men and women caught in the crossfire.The Siege of Loyalty House is a thrilling tale of war and peace, terror and faith, friendship and betrayal - and of a world turned upside down.

The Syrian architect Marwa al-Sabouni is the Guest Co-Director of this year's Brighton Festival and her flagship project The Riwaq on Hove seafront provides a space for social and artistic exchange. Rebuilding is the festival's theme and the subject of her latest book, Building for Hope – Towards an Architecture of Belonging which explores how cities can be rebuilt after crisis and war. She tells Helen Lewis that architecture has a pivotal role in generating community, not just in devastated cities, but all around the world. Dame Jo da Silva is an engineer at the building firm Arup who specialises in disaster relief. After years spent realising the high designs of architects for everything from airports to bus shelters, she became involved in projects to rebuild communities hit by catastrophes. As urbanisation reaches record levels globally she argues that it's more important than ever to build in sustainability and resilience. The historian Jessie Childs focuses her story of the violence and disaster of the English civil war on The Siege of Loyalty House in the 1640s. To the parliamentarians Basing House, the royalist stronghold, was the devil's seat. Over two years, the inhabitants were bombarded, starved and gassed from the outside, and faced smallpox, spies and mutiny from within. Producer: Katy Hickman

On 25th January 1540, Jesuit priest and martyr, St Edmund Campion, was born in London.

On this day in Tudor history, 26th November 1585, Catholic priest Hugh Taylor and his friend Marmaduke Bowes were hanged at York. They were the first men executed under Elizabeth I's 1585 statute which made it treason to be a Jesuit or seminary priest in England or to harbour such a priest.  These two Catholics were beatified in 1987 by Pope John Paul II as two of the 85 Martyrs of England, Scotland and Wales.Find out more about these men and what this 1585 legislation was all about in today's talk from historian Claire Ridgway.

Today is the anniversary of the discovery of Gunpowder Plot conspirator, Guy Fawkes, and 36 barrels of gunpowder in a cellar beneath the Palace of Westminster on the night of 4th/5th November 1605. The plotters were planning to blow up the Houses of Parliament on the opening of Parliament and assassinate the king, his government and leading bishops and nobles. But why and what has this event in James I's reign got to do with Tudor history? Well, a lot, because the Gunpowder Plot had its roots in Elizabeth I's reign. Find out more about the Gunpowder Plot, and those involved, in today's talk from Claire Ridgway, founder of the Tudor Society. Book recommendation: "God's Traitors" by Jessie Childs.TV: Gunpowder, miniseries with Kit Harington Also on this day in Tudor history, Sunday 5th November 1514, eighteen-year-old Mary Tudor, sister of King Henry VIII and daughter of the late King Henry VII, was crowned Queen of France at Saint-Denis.

While we all know that Elizabeth ended her reign peacefully, dying in her bed, that outcome was not guaranteed. From the beginning of her reign, Catholics in England and abroad questioned her right to rule. When Mary Queen of Scots came to England in 1568, 10 years into Elizabeth's reign, there was a Catholic option right there! English Catholics, supported by France, Spain, and the Pope, rebelled against Elizabeth and attempted to replace her with Mary Stuart.This period was a time of a communication explosion in England and Europe. When there are more means of communication, there's an immediate attempt to monitor and control communication. And that, of course, leads to an increase in attempts to hide communication.The battle between Elizabeth I and Mary Queen of Scots was a battle of messages and a battle of ways to hide messages. It's an exciting time, rich with amazing characters and fascinating stories. Here are three of my favorite books about that time:God’s Traitors: Terror & Faith in Elizabethan England by Jessie Childs. I found this book incredibly enlightening as a way to get a glimpse into the lives of English Catholics. . I hadn’t really thought about his work in that way, and now I can’t think of any of Walsingham’s actions without remembering his early experience in Paris. I found that such illuminating way of considering his single-minded approach to the rest of the century.Her Majesty’s Spymaster: Elizabeth I, Sir Francis Walsingham, and the Birth of Modern Espionage by Stephen Budiansky. One of the things I really appreciate about this book is that it starts with the St. Bartholomew Day’s massacre and looks at Walsingham’s work as Elizabeth’s Spymaster through the lens of that experience.Rival Queens: The Betrayal of Mary, Queen of Scots (also published as The Betrayal of Mary, Queen of Scots: Elizabeth I and Her Greatest Rival) by Kate Williams. There are many great books about Elizabeth I and about Mary Queen of Scots. There are several very good books about the two of them. I really liked Kate Williams’s book because it offers a fresh perspective that makes it easy to relate to these two queens as women and humans as well as queens.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for August 31, 2020 is: longanimity • long-guh-NIM-uh-tee • noun : a disposition to bear injuries patiently : forbearance Examples: The fans continue to show their longanimity by coming back year after year to cheer on the perpetually losing team. "Most of the conspirators were gentlemen in their early thirties and the majority had wild pasts. They were frustrated men of action, 'swordsmen' the priests called them, and 'they had not the patience and longanimity to expect the Providence of God.'" — Jessie Childs, God's Traitors: Terror & Faith in Elizabethan England, 2014 Did you know? Longanimity is a word with a long history. It came to English in the 15th century from the Late Latin adjective longanimis, meaning "patient" or "long-suffering." Longanimis, in turn, derives from the Latin combination of longus ("long") and animus ("soul"). Longus is related to English's long and is itself an ancestor to several other English words, including longevity ("long life"), elongate ("to make longer"), and prolong ("to lengthen in time"). Now used somewhat infrequently in English, longanimity stresses the character of one who, like the figure of Job in the Bible, endures prolonged suffering with extreme patience.

In this episode historian Jessie Childs advises us what not to do at the court of Henry VIII in order to keep your head. In this series of talks by renowned Tudor historians, we closely examine the monarch and man himself, Henry VIII. These talks were recorded live in collaboration with History Today to mark the 500th anniversary of the coronation of Henry VIII.  

On this day in Tudor history, 25th February 1570, Pope Pius V issued the papal bull “Regnans in Excelsis”. This bull not only excommunicated Queen Elizabeth I, it also freed her Catholic subjects from their allegiance to her and called on the English people to disobey her orders, mandates and laws. It threatened excommunication for those who did obey her. It put Elizabeth I in danger and it put Catholics in an impossible situation. Find out more about the bull and its impact in today's talk from Claire Ridgway, author of "On This Day in Tudor History". Read the bull of excommunication at https://www.papalencyclicals.net/pius05/p5regnans.htm  Book recommendation - “God’s Traitors: Terror & Faith in Elizabethan England” by Jessie Childs. You can find out more about the Ridolfi Plot in Claire's video - https://youtu.be/_7WjajdaFRw  You can see this podcast as a video at the following link:https://youtu.be/sS__T7HLURM Also on this day in Tudor history, 25th February 1601, Elizabeth I's former favourite, Robert Devereux, Earl of Essex was executed by beheading.

 On this day in Tudor history, 19th November 1587,Henry Vaux died of what was probably consumption at Great Ashby, the home of his sister, Eleanor Brooksby.  Henry Vaux is a fascinating Tudor man. He started out as a precocious child and poet, and grew up to be an important member of the Catholic underground. He was a Catholic recusant and priest harbourer, helping Jesuit priests in the Protestant reign of Queen Elizabeth I, both financially and by giving them a roof over the heads. In today's talk, Claire Ridgway, author of "On This Day in Tudor History", introduces Henry Vaux and what happened to him in Queen Elizabeth I's reign. Book Recommendation: One of Claire's very favourite history books is "God's Traitors: Terror and Faith in Elizabethan England" by Jessie Childs. You can see this podcast as a video at the following link:https://youtu.be/ewJxPRqbELw You can find Claire at:https://www.theanneboleynfiles.com https://www.tudorsociety.comhttps://www.facebook.com/theanneboleynfiles/https://www.facebook.com/tudorsociety/https://twitter.com/AnneBoleynFiles https://twitter.com/thetudorsociety https://www.instagram.com/tudor.society/ https://www.instagram.com/anneboleynfiles/
