Anne Stanhope is a figure in Tudor history who is often either vilified or forgotten. She was the sister-in-law of Henry VIII's third queen, Jane Seymour, and her husband would become king in all but name during the reign of their nephew, Edward VI. Yet Anne is perhaps best remembered for her supposed feud with her sister-in-law, Katherine Parr, who referred to Anne as “that hell.” But the image of two women feuding over precedence and jewels fails to capture the remarkable life of one of the Tudor court's rare survivors.In today's episode, I'm joined by historian Rebecca Batley, author of The Lord Protector and His Wives: Catherine Filliol, Anne Stanhope and Edward Seymour. We discuss Anne's life, her incredible survival in a dangerous royal world, and the long-standing tendency to pit powerful women against one another. Hosted on Acast.

Mary Queen of Scots wasn't stupid — history's verdict is dangerously wrong.Was Mary, Queen of Scots really a reckless, lovestruck failure — or has history judged her by impossible standards? In this explosive History Rage counter-rage, acclaimed historian Linda Porter takes aim at one of the most persistent myths in British history and argues that Mary was anything but a “bloody stupid woman”.Drawing directly on political context, dynastic logic, gendered double standards, and Scotland's uniquely volatile sixteenth-century landscape, Linda dismantles the lazy comparison between Mary and Elizabeth I. She reveals why Mary's marriages made sense at the time, how Scottish politics stacked the odds against her, and why hindsight has been weaponised against a queen ruling in near-impossible circumstances.This episode dives deep into:Why Mary's upbringing in France is misunderstood — and misused against herThe unfair Elizabeth I vs Mary, Queen of Scots comparisonThe dynastic logic behind the Darnley marriageWhy the Bothwell marriage looks far more like coercion than romanceHow trauma, pregnancy, betrayal, and political violence shaped Mary's decisionsWhy calling Mary “stupid” says more about historians than historyIf you care about women in power, Tudor and Stuart history, Mary Queen of Scots, or how myths harden into “fact”, this episode is essential listening.About the guest: Linda PorterLinda Porter is one of Britain's leading historians of the Tudor and Stuart period, known for her sharp analysis and willingness to challenge historical orthodoxies.

Katherine Parr survived Henry VIII -- no small feat -- only to die in childbirth at 36 after rushing into a marriage with Thomas Seymour, the charming, reckless, deeply ambitious man she'd wanted before Henry got in the way. The obvious "what if" is that she lives longer. But the more interesting question is what her survival means for Elizabeth Tudor -- the teenager living in that household, experiencing things no teenager should experience, and then losing the closest thing she had to a mother, all before her sixteenth birthday. In this alternate history episode we look at who Tom Seymour really was, what actually happened at Chelsea, and what a different outcome might have meant -- for Katherine's intellectual and religious work, for the Elizabethan religious settlement, and for whether the woman who became Elizabeth I might have carried a little less armor into her reign.

Before Katherine Parr became Henry VIII's sixth wife, she spent eight years at Snape Castle in North Yorkshire as Lady Latimer. In January 1537, armed rebels from the Pilgrimage of Grace showed up while her husband was away, took her and her stepchildren hostage, and ransacked the place. I think that moment explains everything about who Katherine became. Play the game here: https://www.englandcast.com/choose-your-path-snape-castle/ Learn more about your ad choices.

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?

Passions flamed and power waned. Divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived. First Catherine of Aragon, who had the most time to establish loyal supporters and powerful allies, then Anne Boleyn, queen for less than a year.

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?  If you'd like to send us a voice memo for use in a future episode, please email podcast@picturehouses.co.uk.

Chris Wasser joins John to review the latest box office releases including Elliot Page's 'Close to You'. Plus, Director Damien McCarthy on his creepy and award-winning horror 'Oddity'.

In part one, Katherine worked hard to be the perfect wife for her first two husbands. She never thought husband #3 would be the King. But Katherine thrives as Henry's sixth wife and starts using her platform as queen to promote her passion for religious reform. She thought she had Henry's full support – until she spots an arrest warrant with her name on it, signed by the King himself.Listen to Even The Royals on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.

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.

Katherine Parr is the final Tudor Queen in our series. Was she the nursemaid who looked after and survived her husband, or was she much more than that?

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. Historic UK "Henry VII"National Library of Medicine "The English Sweating Sickness"Historic Royal Palaces "Life at the Tudor Court"The Tudor Society "The Pregnancies of Katherine of Aragon"The Freelance History Writer "Catherine of Aragon's Speech at Blackfriars"Short History of podcast episode "Henry VIII"History Extra podcast series "Six Wives"Support the show! Buy Me a CoffeeVenmo @Shea-LaFountaine

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
