Anne Stanhope, Duchess of Somerset—ambitious, powerful, and controversial. History remembers her as arrogant and ruthless, but was she truly a villain, or simply a strong woman in a world that feared female power? As the wife of Edward Seymour, Lord Protector of England, Anne was the highest-ranking woman in the country after the queen. She influenced religious reform, controlled vast lands, and had a reputation for defending her status fiercely—even clashing with Katherine Parr, Henry VIII's widow. But when her husband was overthrown and executed, Anne lost everything. Yet, she never gave up. Was she a power-hungry schemer or a woman unfairly vilified by history? Watch to find out!

Elizabeth I was profoundly shaped by the women around her, and this series will explore these pivotal relationships throughout her life. Joint Chief Curator Tracy Borman opens our series with Dr Nicola Tallis, and together they explore the young Elizabeth, before she came to the throne. The formative relationships she experienced during this time shaped the queen she would become; her mother Anne Boleyn, her stepmother Katherine Parr, and her sister Mary I. Read about Elizabeth's Summer with Katherine Parr at Hampton Court, and see the book Elizabeth embroidered as a gift for her stepmother. This is the first episode in our Elizabeth series where we explore the women who shaped a queen.

Elizabeth Fremantle is an author whose hugely popular book, Queens Gambit about Katherine Parr has now been adapted into a major film starring Alicia Vikander and Jude Law as Katherine and King Henry VIII respectively. In todays episode I chat to Elizabeth all about the book, how she came up with the idea, why she took certain character decisions and we dive into the film itself, from casting, costumes and character choices, including an amusing way that Jude Law went to extreme lengths to capture the essence of what being around Henry VIII must have been like!
It's another hat-trick of wonderful guests on this week's Empire Podcast. Which is good, as there's only two colleagues of such lethal cunning. Due to a combination of work absences, holidays, and general apathy, only Helen O'Hara and James Dyer are on pod-duty this week and, thanks to Jimbo's unfortunate bout of Covid, they're doing it remotely as well. Never fear, though, they still bring the film-related fun as they take a couple of listener questions, discuss the week's movie news (before the Ocean's 14 story broke, naturally), and review Firebrand, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, Starve Acre, and Rebel Ridge. The latter also provides one of our guests, as Chris Hewitt talks to its writer/director, Jeremy Saulnier, about its long route to the small screen (it's a Netflix movie). That's right at the end of the whole pod [ 1:32:47 - 1:51:41 approx] and Firebrand provides the two other guests, as we talk to Henry VIII, aka Jude Law, and the wife who survived him, Katherine Parr, aka Alicia Vikander, who talk to Helen and Chris, respectively. [17:04 - 33:12 approx for Alicia and 51:28 - 1:09:04 approx for Jude] Remember: divorced beheaded died, divorced beheaded survived is not just a great way to remember the fates of Henry VIII's six wives, but also the fate of the podteam members who didn't appear on this week's episode. Enjoy.
Sam Clements talks to actor Alicia Vikander, star of Firebrand, in cinemas right now! In blood-soaked Tudor England, Katherine Parr, the sixth and last wife of King Henry VIII, is named Regent while tyrant Henry is fighting overseas. Katherine has done everything she can to push for a new future based on her radical Protestant beliefs.When an increasingly ailing and paranoid King returns, he turns his fury on the radicals, charging Katherine's childhood friend with treason and burning her at the stake. Horrified and grieving, but forced to deny it, Katherine finds herself fighting for her own survival. Conspiracy reverberates through the palace. Everyone holds their breath – for the queen to slip up, for Henry to take her head like wives before.With the hope for a future free of tyranny at risk, will Katherine submit to the inevitable for the sake of King and country?

Katherine Parr was Henry VIII's sixth and final wife and is known for being the one who survived. But she almost didn't survive marriage to Henry, and for a way different reason than any of his other wives. Katherine was forced to give up her dream of marrying for love when Henry chose her as his next wife. She decides to turn lemons into lemonade and make the most of her new-found power and status as queen. But ambition is the fastest way to make enemies at court – and Katherine will learn the hard way just how far power-hungry courtiers will go to bring her down.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In the new film ‘Firebrand,' viewers are transported to a more than 500-year-old story, at a time when King Henry VIII ruled England and kept that authoritative approach to his marriages as well. In the case of ‘Firebrand' we find an older King Henry VIII in his marriage to his sixth wife, Katherine Parr; Parr endures the loss of a friend at the hands of Henry VIII and fights to have control in her relationship. Given the tyrannical nature of King Henry VII, it meant that actor Jude Law had a lot to consider when portraying the royal on the silver screen. So today on FilmWeek, guest host Austin Cross talks to Law about what went into the transformation.

How meaningful can a gift - especially of a book - be? In the fickle world of the Tudor court, the strategic gifting of books was a common practice, bound up in relationships of power, politics and protest. A new exhibition exploring this subject at the Bodleian Library, Oxford, includes a stunning book made by a young Elizabeth I which she gave to Katherine Parr as a New Year's gift in 1544. In this episode of Not Just the Tudors, Professor Suzannah Lipscomb visits the exhibition to find out more from curator Dr Nicholas Perkins and historian Dr. Felicity Heal.This episode was edited by Joseph Knight and produced by Rob Weinberg.Discover the past on History Hit with ad-free original podcasts and documentaries released weekly presented by world renowned historians including Dan Snow, Suzannah Lipscomb, Lucy Worsley, Matt Lewis, Tristan Hughes and more.

From the mid-15th century to the mid-16th century, there were 10 Queens Consort of England, from Margaret of Anjou to Katherine Parr. For each of these Queens, jewellery was a way she could signify her status and her legitimacy, display familial and cultural ties, and chart life events - from courtship and marriage, through motherhood, to death. In this episode of Not Just the Tudors, Professor Suzannah Lipscomb talks to Dr. Nicola Tallis, whose book All the Queen's Jewels 1445-1548: Power, Majesty and Display examines the personal and political connections of Queens through the lens of their jewellery.This episode was edited by Joseph Knight and produced by Rob Weinberg and Elena Guthrie.Discover the past on History Hit with ad-free original podcasts and documentaries released weekly presented by world renowned historians including Dan Snow, Suzannah Lipscomb, Lucy Worsley, Matt Lewis, Tristan Hughes and more.

Send us a Text Message.Divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived. Henry VIII went down in history, not so much for what he accomplished as king of England but for one tantalizing fact - he had six wives. Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anne of Cleves, Catherine Howard, Katherine Parr - these six women are often defined by their association with Henry VIII, she was wife number 2, she was number 5, she was number 6, their very humanity reduced to a number. Not Catherine, not Anne, not Jane, just “Henry VIII's wife.” But these women were more than just wives, they were individuals, each with their own story, all of them overshadowed by the desperation of a man determined to continue his legacy. But did you know, in his absurd quest for a male heir, Henry VIII ripped his country apart, changing the religion of the entire nation, executing his closest advisors, tormenting his wives, and ultimately failing miserably? Let's fix that.

Marking the end of a turbulent beginning to the Sixteenth Century, the deaths of Henry VIII, Francis I, and Charles V (who technically abdicates before his death) brings one era to a close. Francis and Charles are left exhausted after years of pointless war, but both die knowing that their lines will live on. Henry VIII believes to have put in place an iron-clad succession plan, but Thomas Cranmer and Edward Seymour have other ideas. Oh, and Henry marries one last time. Katherine Parr will become his sixth and final wife.Website: www.westerncivpodcast.comAd-Free Shows: www.patreon.com/westerncivpodcastWestern Civ 2.0 Free Trial: www.glow.fm/westernciv

Katherine Parr (1512-1548): Today we finish the story of Katherine Parr, Queen of England and sixth wife of Henry VIII. Like Queen Esther in the Bible, God raised up Katherine “for such a time as this” to protect and preserve the Reformation cause and the furtherance of the Gospel in England.

Katherine Parr (1512-1548): As many people know, King Henry VIII was one of England's most notorious kings, partly because he was married six times! Yet what is not commonly known is the fact that his sixth wife, Katherine, was a devout Protestant who believed God had called her to marry Henry for the furtherance of God's Word and the Reformation cause in England. So join us today for the fascinating story of God's work through one of the Tudor Queens of England! Five Women of the English Reformation by Paul F.M.

As we finally make it to the end of the six queens series, we finally get to talk about the one the only Catherine Parr. Catherine Parr gets very little attention as Henry VIII's sixth and final Queen. She is most often remembered as the one who nursed Henry at the end and managed to keep her head, but she is so much more. Catherine was an intelligent woman who was incredibly cultured and a Queen that England should be proud of, so join me to talk about her incredible life.

Your understanding of the English Reformation will never be the same! Enjoy the terrific artwork that goes along with today's story on our website, thegreatpodcast.org!

The first woman to publish a book in her own name in the English language was Katherine Parr, the sixth and final wife of King Henry VIII. In her book, The Lamentation of a Sinner (1547), she abased herself considerably and outlined her conversion to Reformation theology. In fact, she writes, “I feel myself to come, as it were, in a new garment before God, and now by his mercy, to be declared just and righteous. By faith alone, I am sure to be justified, although the dregs of Adam do remain.” On this episode, Shane Rosenthal discusses Queen Katherine's fascinating life and robust convictions with Don Matzat, author of a new biography titled, Katherine Parr: Opportunist. Queen. Reformer. __________ To receive Kathrine Parr's book, The Lamentation of a Sinner, for free while supplies last, head over to whitehorseinn.org/lamentation. __________ Sign up for our Free Account and gain access to the 12 most recent extended-length episodes of the White Horse Inn as well as other free content.

In today's episode we are discussing the lives and deaths of wives 4, 5 & 6: Anne of Cleves, Catherine Howard and Katherine Parr
In honor of Valentine’s Day, we’re celebrating love stories this month. And I thought I’d start with someone who certainly should have been an expert, someone who would have personally supported chocolate and flower vendors had he lived in another time—Henry VIII.So I asked my people, fellow Tudor fans and enthusiasts, some important questions: Which wife did Henry VIII love most? Who was his favorite? Who loved him most? And, in this quest to find Henry VIII’s true Valentine, I have heard from many people who have strong feelings about the matter. It’s been so exciting to hear and read your thoughts about that much-marrying monarch and his quest for true love.I think a key reason that Henry VIII had so much trouble having a successful marriage is that he wanted to have a marriage that fulfilled his personal as well as his political needs. In the sixteenth century, that wasn’t how it worked, at least among royalty. Marriages were business agreements, designed to form political alliances and strengthen the realm.Henry VIII spent his entire reign searching for true love. Did he ever succeed? Did anyone love him for himself? Which wife was his favorite? Which wife did he love most?I think there are three different answers here: the wife who loved Henry most, Henry's favorite wife (and why), and the wife Henry loved the most.
In her book The Taming of the Queen, Philippa Gregory asks a simple question of her subject, Katherine Parr. Who would marry a serial killer? Katherine Parr has been largely overlooked because she survived the monstrous Henry VIII, but she was a remarkable woman. She married four times, wrote books and successfully navigated the choppy waters of Henry's reign. In popular culture she's written off as matronly or nurselike. In fact she was younger than Anne Boleyn when she married the king, and died tragically in childbirth the year after he expired. She also may have inspired Elizabeth I. Philippa Gregory is the author of the Taming of the Queen and the Other Boleyn Girl. Suzannah Lipscomb is the author of The King is Dead: The Last Will and Testament of Henry VIII. Future guests in the series include David Spiegelhalter, Diane Morgan and Rob Rinder The presenter is Matthew Parris, the producer in Bristol Miles Warde
Sudeley Castle in Winchcombe in Gloucestershire is a place that you fall in love with for its tranquility and beauty. This castle has one of the richest histories - it truly has everything- war, romance, royalty and tragedies. It is here The Lady In Green is often seen standing and gazing out by an upstairs window or observed wandering the corridors forever searching for the future she was denied. Step back in time and explore who she was- the events of her life, death and unquiet afterlife. Explore the castle that became her final resting place and the spirits that still linger on its grounds.

Whether you know me personally or not, if you’re listening to the podcast you’re probably not surprised to hear I LOVE the six wives! I loved seeing the new musical SIX in London and in New York. I love the television specials. I fell in love with history and the Tudors and began my obsession with Anne Boleyn watching the BBC production from back in the seventies (rebroadcast on PBS here in the US). I am a big six wives fan.It makes sense, then, that I wrap up my focus on books by looking at books about the Six Wives of Henry VIII. I decided to choose a book for each wife. The publication dates span more than 100 years, with the earliest book published in 1896 (!) and the most recent in 2014. Even 2014 feels like a long time ago, so I might have my next project identified!My criteria was that the book focus on the wives instead of the husband—he makes appearances, of course, and inserts his larger than life body and personality into the books just as he did into his marriages. But for the most part, Henry is placed in a supporting role, the husband that brings this fascinating group of women together. So let’s meet the six wives through six authors’ views of them.Amy License, The Six Wives and Many Mistresses of Henry VIII: The Women’s Stories (pub date 2014) and Katherine of Aragon.Karen Lindsey, Divorced, Beheaded, Survived (pub date 1995) and Anne Boleyn.Sarah Tytler, Tudor Queens and Princesses, (pub date 1896) and Jane Seymour.Alison Weir, The Six Wives of Henry VIII, (pub date 1991) and Anne of Cleves.Antonia Fraser, The Wives of Henry VIII (pub 1992) and Katherine Howard.David Loades, The Six Wives of Henry VIII (pub 1996) and Katherine Parr.I get the feeling that Henry VIII would describe his life with himself at the center, as the sun, with other people rotating around him, including these six women. But I think that in fact, the women had the real light—the intelligence, courage, determination, compassion, and abilities that created the power of Henry VIII’s reign. They were not just the power behind the throne, they were the power of the throne.
In September 2020, the government of the United Kingdom instituted the “rule of six” to attempt to mitigate the spread of Coronavirus. It means that, with a few specific exceptions, it is illegal to gather in groups larger than six.This created some wonderful memes featuring images of the Six Wives of Henry VIII, smiling happily, because when they gather there is no room for the King! It echoes the creative team behind the musical SIX, a retelling of the story in fun rather than historical ways. Each wife gets a turn to tell her story. There are references to the man who brings them together, but he never gets to appear on stage. Once again, no room for Henry!Of course, it’s all fanciful and fun rather than accurate. But it does invite us to think about these women as individuals, each fascinating in her own way. And it raises the question: what are the secrets, or at least lesser-known facts, of each of the Six Wives of Henry VIII?The person who might be able to fill in some of the secrets of the six wives for us is Anne Herbert, Countess of Pembroke. Born in 1515, she became a Maid-of-Honor to Katherine of Aragon in 1528. She continued in that role for Anne Boleyn, embracing Anne’s interest in the new faith. After Anne Boleyn’s fall, Anne remained in the service of Jane Seymour and was one of the few women present at the baptism of Prince Edward. She married Sir William Herbert in 1538 and returned to court to be in the household of Anne of Cleves, which quickly became the household of Katherine Howard. Finally, Anne Herbert was a witness to the wedding of Henry VIII and Katherine Parr in 1543. Katherine Parr’s royal household may have been Anne Herbert’s favorite assignment, as Katherine Parr was her sister. The only person known to have served all six of Henry’s wives, she would have some amazing secrets to share!The rest of us will have to make due with enjoying the unique, captivating, and endlessly fascinating stories of the Six Wives of Henry VIII!
Catherine Parr (1512-1548) is best known for surviving being the sixth and final wife of Henry VIII. She had three other husbands, one of whom was worse than even Henry; she was held hostage; she broke new ground for women writers in England; she was a member of the Renaissance Reformation Girl Squad, AND ALSO she was the guardian to (and role model for) Lady Jane Grey.

Today Anne Askew was burned at the stake. Anne was a pawn in a plot to implicate suspected Protestant-leaning women at court, including Katherine Parr herself.
As Henry made his way through years of various foreign alliances and diplomatic efforts, it was his marital merry-go-round that really shaped his reign. Various family members and wives filled the court and sounded the opposition.In addition to a succession of wives through his reign, Henry VIII also had a wide variety of in-laws. From Kings and Queens to rising courtiers, Henry's in-laws provided him with eager supporters and unwelcome resisters, depending on his relationship with a particular wife.According to the rhyme, just one of Henry's wives survived the big guy: Katherine Parr.
