She is the woman who started it all, the Tudor dynasty's matriarch, Margaret Beaufort, mother of King Henry VII and a truly fascinating figure in her own right.

Well today I am thrilled to welcome historian and author Lauren Johnson onto the podcast for the first time. Lauren's upcoming book, Margaret Beaufort, Survivor, Rebel, Kingmaker, is the backbone of this conversation, so join Lauren and I as we explore the life of Margaret Beaufort and smash apart some of the long held beliefs about her life, and life story.

The Tudors are one of the most famous dynasties in royal history. We can't stop talking about them. It's easy to forget how unlikely the dynasty was. Without the extraordinary ability of Margaret Beaufort to make connections with both sides of the Wars of the Roses, we probably never would have had a Tudor dynasty!Carol Ann Lloydwww.carolannlloyd.com@shakeuphistorypatreon.com/carolannlloydThe Tudors by NumbersCourting the Virgin QueenHistory shows us what's possible.@shakeuphistory

Cecily, the debut novel from Annie Garthwaite, told the story of Cecily Neville, Duchess of York, through to the triumph of her son Edward in the Battle of Towton in 1461.

If you want to get hold of a copy two days before publication, tickets for our evening with Annie Garthwaite are available now - check alnwickcastle.com or visit our EventBrite page for all the details!

Henry VIII's is infamous for his relationships with women. The domineering King took 6 wives during his 36 years on the throne. And he disposed of them with as much scandal as he wooed them – Divorced, Beheaded, Died, Divorced, Beheaded, Survived. But three other women had an important impact on his childhood, his mother Elizabeth of York and his two Grandmothers Elizabeth Woodville and Margaret Beaufort. They have been dubbed by popular historical fiction author Philippa Gregory as the White Princess, the White Queen and the Red Queen. These women were caught in the brambles of the wars of the roses and fought tooth and nail for their children and for themselves. And it was these three women who brought an end to three decades of bloody battle and restored peace to England. Join me every Tuesday when I'm Spilling the Tea on History!

In this week's episode, I discuss why I decided to return to the character of Caina after twenty-nine novels. This week's coupon is for the audiobook of GHOST IN THE INFERNO as excellently narrated by Hollis McCarthy. You can get the audiobook of GHOST IN THE INFERNO for 75% off at my Payhip store with this coupon code: WINTERINFERNO The coupon code is valid through March 14th, 2024. TRANSCRIPT 00:00:00 Introduction and Writing Updates Hello, everyone. Welcome to Episode 189 of the Pulp Writer Show. My name is Jonathan Moeller. Today is February the 23rd, 2024 and today we are talking about the return of Caina Kardamnos. Before we get to our main topics, we will have Coupon of the Week and then an update on my current writing projects. First up, let's do Coupon of the Week. This week's coupon is for the audiobook of Ghost in the Inferno, as excellently narrated by Hollis McCarthy. You can get the audiobook of Ghost in the Inferno for 75% off at my Payhip store with this coupon code: WINTERINFERNO and that is WINTERINFERNO. The coupon code is valid through March the 14th, 2024. So if you find yourself needing an audiobook to break up the winter doldrums and weather, we've got one ready for you. So now for a progress update on my current writing projects. I'm pleased to report that Sevenfold Sword Online: Leveling is out at Amazon and Kindle Unlimited, since I have found that LitRPG books tend to do the best while they're in Kindle Unlimited. It is going a little better than expected, which is nice, and if you want to check out the book, you can read it at Amazon. My main writing project now is Ghost in the Veils, hence The Return of Caina Kardamnos title for this episode and I am 25,000 words into it, which puts me on Chapter 6 of 21. I am also 31,000 words into Wizard Thief, the second book in the Half-Elven Thief series and that should come out after Ghost in the Veils. I'm also 3,000 words into Cloak of Titans, the next Nadia book. So the order these will all come out in is Ghost in the Veils needs to come out first because it has recording slot scheduled for the middle of April. So it needs to be done and out by then. I will finish Wizard Thief after that and then Cloak of Titans. In an audiobook news, the recording and proofing for Shield of Storms' audiobook is done, and it's currently working its way through quality assurance on the various platforms, so hopefully it should be available on your audio platform of choice before much longer. 00:02:07 Reader Comments and Questions Now, before we get to our main topic, let's have a few questions and comments from listeners and readers. Reader NK asks: Hi, I would like to know what LitRPG is. Haven't come across it before and also do we need to complete reading the Sevenfold Sword series before Sevenfold Sword Online to better enjoy this story? In answer your question NK, LitRPG is generally defined as a story that uses the conventions and structures of online role-playing games like MMORPGs. They can be either fantasy or science fiction or blend a bit of both. Typically in these stories, either the protagonist is magically zapped into a game world or is playing the game while trying to balance some sort of crisis in both the game and real life, which is the approach I took for Sevenfold Sword Online. In answer to the second half of your question, Sevenfold Sword Online isn't actually connected to Sevenfold Sword. The premise is that it's 700 years in the future and that an evil corporation has built a hit virtual reality MMORPG using the books of a long dead author (i.e. me) as source material for the setting. In hindsight, I wish I had made the setting completely unconnected to anything else I had written, because it seems to confuse some readers, but too late now I suppose so, hopefully that will answer your question. Now we have a question from reader Justin. For context for that question, I recently had to get a new desktop computer after my old one died and this is in fact the first podcast episode I am recording using the new computer. So if it sounds really weird, I blame the computer, or more accurately, I probably should blame Windows 11. But anyway, with that in mind, here is our question from Justin: Good luck to you with your new computer. I switched to laptops for my computing needs. The lower power draw and portability are handy when you're going off grid. I'm used to you working on three series at once. You put that up a notch. Is this to reduce burnout and possibly writer's block? In answer to that question, the reason I got a desktop was because I do a lot of cover design and graphic design, which is not always the greatest on laptops because that needs a lot of processing power, a lot of RAM, and perhaps most importantly, a lot of storage. In answer to the writing question, the only thing that's changed is I'm not doing a Ridmark and Andomhaim book every other month. I am going to keep writing Ridmark and books set in Andomhaim but I've been writing a Ridmark/Andomhaim book every other month pretty much since summer 2013, so I'd like to change it up a little bit and do more of other things. So while I am going to continue the Shield Wars series and I am going to write Shield of Darkness soon, I'm not going to start writing it until after Cloak of Titans is done, if you remember my order of projects from earlier in the show. I don't feel at risk of burnout or getting exasperated with writing. I just have been writing Ridmark and Andomhaim setting for so long that while I would like to continue writing that I would like to write more of other things as I go along. 00:05:08 Main Topic: The Return of Caina Kardamnos Now to our main topic: the return of Caina Kardamnos. As I mentioned earlier on the show, I'm now 25,000 words into Ghost in the Veils, which puts me also at chapter six in the second book of the Ghost Armor Series, the immediate sequel to Ghost in the Serpent from late 2023. I have to admit that when I finished Ghost in the Sun in the Ghost Night series in 2021 (I believe that was), I thought I was done with Caina. The reason for that was I just didn't have any idea of what to where to go or what to do with the character after Ghost Night. Part of that, I admit, was that Caina had become powerful and influential and I am cynically suspicious of people like that and wasn't sure I could write someone like that as a protagonist. Though that was less a concern as I went on since writing Ridmark and Tyrcamber, and Dragontiarna and then Dragonskull and the Shield War gave me a good bit of practice. So I finally had a good enough idea to return to Caina as a protagonist, and I think it was a confluence of four different ideas. The first idea was perhaps the most obvious one: what if Caina found out she had stepchildren? There are lots of potential story dynamics with stepchildren, but I thought the most interesting setup would be if Kylon had children he didn't know about and the mother Kalliope Agramemnos had kept them secret from him, except Kylon loves Caina and Kalliope is in awe of Caina. So Caina, out of necessity, becomes the linchpin holding this family together, since neither Kylon nor Kalliope can stand each other. There are a lot of potential character arcs and conflicts that can be generated in the inherent tension of that situation. The second core idea came from medieval nobles. If you've read any histories of medieval Europe, one of the main themes of the Middle Ages is that men primarily wielded the political and military power. But some women, by sheer force of will, charisma, tenacity, and cunning came to wield great power themselves. There are in fact quite a few examples. Probably the most famous one nowadays would be Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine, who was married to two different kings and the mother to two more or three (depending on how you count and if you include Henry II's eldest son, Young Henry, as the actual king or not). She kept her son Richard on the throne of England during his captivity after the Third Crusade and she was one of the chief architects of his release. Had Eleanor lived longer, and her son John listened to more of her advice, probably King John's reign would have been more successful and he would not be remembered primarily in the United States as the cowardly Prince John from that one animated Disney movie with the anthropomorphic animals. Perhaps the most successful example is Margaret Beaufort, who basically engineered her son Henry VII's ascension to the English throne at the end of the Wars of the Roses, and then served as one of his primary advisors for the entirety of his reign. In fact, she even outlived Henry VII by a year and then lived long enough to advise her grandson Henry VIII for the first year after he became king. A less successful example and contemporary with Margaret Beaufort, would be Margaret of Anjou, wife of King Henry VI and mother of his heir. Margaret of Anjou was one of the driving forces behind the Wars of the Roses but lost everything when her husband and son were killed and she died in poverty in France while her enemy Edward IV ruled in England. Blanche of Castile was her son Louis IX's regent when he went on crusade. Countess Matilda of Tuscany helped force the settlement in the Investiture Controversy and the Holy Roman Emperor, the southern dukes of the Holy Roman Empire, and the Pope all wanted Matilda as their ally. Perhaps the most striking example would be Sichelgaita of Lombardy, wife of the rapacious Norman adventurer Robert Guiscard. Guiscard started out as a penniless, landless knight and ended up conquering Sicily and a lot of Italy. He was known as greedy, cunning, and ruthless. His eventual tomb had the epitaph “Here lies Guiscard, the terror of the world.” It seems that Sichelgaita was in every way suited to be the wife of a freebooting warlord like her husband. Guiscard fought a lot of wars and Sichelgaita usually donned armor to battle alongside him. At the Battle of Durham in 1081 Guiscard's troops started to break and run while fighting the soldiers of the Byzantine Empire. Sichelgaita rode after the fleeing troops, berating them for their cowardice, and evidently the prospect of her displeasure was so fearsome that Guiscard's troops turned around and won the battle. It should also be known at this point in her life, Sichelgaita was in her forties and had borne Giscard eight children, so clearly a very resilient lady. So now that Caina is powerful and influential maybe historical events like these can provide inspirations for plot lines. Caina would still occasionally put on a shadow cloak and go out and break into places because this is, after all, a fantasy novel. The third idea was that someone must be in charge. I mentioned earlier that I had misgivings about writing protagonists with power and influence, but I've come to realize that is an incomplete view. The thing about power and influence is that someone is going to be in charge. It's just human nature. No matter how something is organized, someone must be in charge and bear the burden of leadership, and hopefully it will be someone with an eye on the greater good. I've thought about this concept a lot in 2023. I know several people in 2023 who, after much agonizing, left some of the traditional helping professions like medicine and education not because of dislike of the admittedly stressful work, but because the leadership was so stupid and so malicious as to create an unsustainable work environment. Like a leader can be stupid and well-intentioned, and a leader can be malicious and clever and an organization can still function, but stupidity and malice together are unsustainable. Alas, the contemporary United States and United Kingdom have no shortage of malicious and stupid leadership, but that's beyond the scope of the podcast about writing. So in the end, someone is going to be in charge, someone is going to have to wield power and influence. Hopefully it is someone who will act in the name of the greater good (I already did some of that with Caina in Ghost in the Council towards the second half of the Ghost Night series). That can make, in my opinion, for in a compelling protagonist. Fourth and finally, fantasy creatures. Way back in the 2000s when I was originally trying to sell the first Caina novels, all the agents and publishers fulminated on how they didn't want to see any novels with traditional fantasy creatures like elves and orcs and dwarves and serpent men and so forth. So when I wrote the kind of books I wrote them without any of that, which continued when I moved into self-publishing, though I was always a little sore about that, even years later. Now I think I have a firm enough grasp on the setting that I can introduce some traditional fantasy creatures into the Caina books, hopefully in a way that makes sense within the context of Caina 's very well-established world. So those four ideas came together for Ghost in the Serpent, and we shall hopefully see more of them in Ghost in the Veils. So that is it for this week.

A protégé of Margaret Beaufort, a man of many talents, but the highlight of his life was three glorious days spent in Hertfordshire.

Historian Dr Nicola Tallis joined me to talk about the subject of one of her most popular books, Margaret Beaufort. Margaret has been portrayed in a fairly unidimensional way in popular culture; power hungry and pious with a myopic view of God's plan for her only son, Henry Tudor. In this fascinating interview with Margaret's biographer we learn much more about the real woman behind the enduring public image, a woman who survived the political turmoil of the 15th century but also someone who enjoyed gambling and socialising much more than we ever hear about!

In this month's historian interview, with Helen Carr we explore the life of a man you probably didn't know was so interesting.....John of Gaunt! Known mainly as the father of the usurper Henry Bolingbroke and of the bastard Beaufort line of Margaret Beaufort, through whom Henry VII claimed legitimacy for his claim to be King of England. There's lots more to this man than you may realise, not least that he was King of Castile and it is from he that Katherine of Aragon claimed descent from kings of England (his father being Edward III).

After binging several seasons of Phillipa Gregory's historical dramas, I started to feel some kinda way about my family tree. I am a descendent of Margaret Beaufort, who was mother of King Henry VII (grandmother of King Henry VIII who we all remember!). She dedicated her life to protecting her son's claim to the throne, and didn't let anything get in her way. Yet in some historical accounts, she is villainized and painted as a terrible, murderous women. Some depict her as a religious zealot. Others, however, depict her in more human terms. And after I found a couple of the latter accounts, I felt a sense of pride in my family tree again. Even though Phillipa Gregory's books and TV Series have stoked a fire in me to understand my ancestry, her historical "fiction" takes some pretty glaring liberties with actual history and Beaufort is one of the victims of this. Much of what I was feeling bad about was just false! She was just a woman with ambition and dedication, so obviously...a bitch. We present to you, one of history's early, amazing, badass, dedicated Bitches - Margaret Beaufort! https://www.philippagregory.com/characters/margaret-beaufort https://www.royalhistorygeeks.com/5-of-the-ways-the-spanish-princess-distorted-margaret-beaufort/ https://tudortimes.co.uk/guest-articles/lady-margaret-beaufort-hero-or-villain#:~:text=Margaret%20Beaufort%20is%20the,s%20path%20to%20the%20throne. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/bitchstory/support

For many years Margaret was almost forgotten by history, overshadowed by her larger-than-life descendants. In recent years, she has made a comeback in popular media, but this rediscovery of the true founder of the Tudor dynasty saw the resurfacing of some of the worst rumors about her life. Many interpretations choose to focus on her ruthless ambition, and the work of Phillipa Gregory revived a theory that she was to blame for the death of King Edward IV's sons, now known to history as The Princes in the Tower. Margaret's true story is far more interesting and compelling than any fiction.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We speak to the historian Dr Nicola Tallis about Margaret Beaufort, mother of Henry VII who lived a dramatic life, enduring the trials and tribulations of the Wars of the Roses to ultimately see her son, against all odds, become king, founding the Tudor dynasty.You can follow Nicola on Twitter where she is @NicolaTallis or find out more information about her on her website https://nicolatallis.com/ Hosted on Acast.

After the death of King Edward IV, the heir to the throne, Edward V, is left under the protection of the late king's brother Richard. But what lay in store for the 12 year old king? Will Richard honour his brother's will? And when the Wars of the Roses finally end, how do the rival houses of Plantagenet unite once and for all? This is part three of a special three-part Short History of the Wars of the Roses. Written by Danny Marshall.

With his father Richard of York's head now on a spike, Edward's determination to snatch the crown from Henry VI is stronger than ever.

Dans cette reco du weekend, un petit retour sur les séries royales comme le triptyque reine et princesses basé sur les romans de l'historienne Philippa Gregory, puis la dramédie The Great avec un twist moderne. The White Queen Diffusée sur la BBC en 2013 et sur Starz aux États-Unis, The White Queen est le premier pan du triptyque des adaptations des romans de Philippa Gregory. La mini-série suit la lutte de deux familles pour le trône d'Angleterre en 1464 : les York et les Lancaster, en retraçant librement la guerre des Deux-Roses (période historique qui a par ailleurs inspiré Game of Thrones). En coulisse, on suit l'histoire de trois femmes, Elizabeth Woodville (Rebecca Ferguson), Margaret Beaufort et Anne Neville, dont les manipulations vont avoir un impact déterminant pour l'avenir du pays. Une fresque prenante qui ne lésine pas sur les rebondissements dans son intrigue et nous tient haleine jusqu'au bout de ses 10 épisodes. Si vous voulez découvrir un pan méconnu de l'histoire britannique, foncez. https://youtu.be/ydneyl2S30o The White Princess Enfin, on continue dans l'époque des Tudor avec The White Princess, deuxième série de la trilogie. Dans ce drame historique, Jodie Comer, révélé pour le rôle de Villanelle dans Killing Eve, incarne ici Élisabeth d'York qui épouse le roi Henri VII pour des raisons diplomatiques. Si l'Angleterre est unifiée, la rivalité entre les deux clans va mettre en péril l'équilibre politique du pays. Même si l'exactitude historique n'est pas la première priorité de ces séries, il y a une fascination évidente que ce soit dans les complots à déjouer, les personnages manipulateurs et attachants à retrouver, ou tout simplement cette modernité qui rend l'historique intrigant. Au-delà de l'aspect narratif, visuellement, les décors et les costumes en jettent. https://youtu.be/TJ-q3_b3dkI The Spanish Princess Pour conclure cette ère, The Spanish Princess retrace l'histoire de la reine Catherine d'Aragon (Charlotte Hope) et du Roi Henri VIII (Ruairi O'Connor) au début du XVIe siècle. Ensemble ils font de l'Angleterre un pays puissant qui résiste à tous les conflits extérieurs. Mais la couronne devra faire face à une entrave : la difficulté de la reine à enfanter. Une femme forte, qui a su s'imposer en tant que politicienne, diplomate ou encore commandante militaire et qui mènera à bien ce nouveau combat pour sauver son amour. Et pour la touche moderne, la série met en lumière des sujets qui font écho à notre société actuelle : la représentation des différentes cultures. https://youtu.be/6UzaQZ1wid0 The Great La relation amoureuse tumultueuse entre Catherine II et le tsar Peter de Holstein-Gottorp qui se marient alors que la jeune fille n'a que 16 ans… The Great se concentre sur le complot de Catherine pour assassiner son mari et prendre le trône de Russie. Suite au succès du film La Favorite et de sa nomination aux Oscars, le scénariste australien Tony McNamara a profité de sa récente notoriété Outre-Atlantique pour adapter sa propre pièce sur la vie de Catherine The Great, impératrice de Russie. Si la série prend la forme de drame historique, il ne faut pas s'attendre ici à une quelconque velléité d'authenticité puisque l'accroche le dit elle-même, la série est « l'histoire plutôt fausse » de ces figures historiques. https://youtu.be/7zF4MLUqnyQ Ces séries très royales ont donné une identité forte à Lionsgate+ (anciennement Starzplay) qui maintenant fait partie de l'ADN même de la chaîne et de sa plateforme. Alors en proposant Becoming Elizabeth, c'est continuer dans le genre qui a fait la force de Starz.

Dans cette reco du weekend, un petit retour sur les séries royales comme le triptyque reine et princesses basé sur les romans de l'historienne Philippa Gregory, puis la dramédie The Great avec un twist moderne. The White Queen Diffusée sur la BBC en 2013 et sur Starz aux États-Unis, The White Queen est le premier pan du triptyque des adaptations des romans de Philippa Gregory. La mini-série suit la lutte de deux familles pour le trône d'Angleterre en 1464 : les York et les Lancaster, en retraçant librement la guerre des Deux-Roses (période historique qui a par ailleurs inspiré Game of Thrones). En coulisse, on suit l'histoire de trois femmes, Elizabeth Woodville (Rebecca Ferguson), Margaret Beaufort et Anne Neville, dont les manipulations vont avoir un impact déterminant pour l'avenir du pays. Une fresque prenante qui ne lésine pas sur les rebondissements dans son intrigue et nous tient haleine jusqu'au bout de ses 10 épisodes. Si vous voulez découvrir un pan méconnu de l'histoire britannique, foncez. https://youtu.be/ydneyl2S30o The White Princess Enfin, on continue dans l'époque des Tudor avec The White Princess, deuxième série de la trilogie. Dans ce drame historique, Jodie Comer, révélé pour le rôle de Villanelle dans Killing Eve, incarne ici Élisabeth d'York qui épouse le roi Henri VII pour des raisons diplomatiques. Si l'Angleterre est unifiée, la rivalité entre les deux clans va mettre en péril l'équilibre politique du pays. Même si l'exactitude historique n'est pas la première priorité de ces séries, il y a une fascination évidente que ce soit dans les complots à déjouer, les personnages manipulateurs et attachants à retrouver, ou tout simplement cette modernité qui rend l'historique intrigant. Au-delà de l'aspect narratif, visuellement, les décors et les costumes en jettent. https://youtu.be/TJ-q3_b3dkI The Spanish Princess Pour conclure cette ère, The Spanish Princess retrace l'histoire de la reine Catherine d'Aragon (Charlotte Hope) et du Roi Henri VIII (Ruairi O'Connor) au début du XVIe siècle. Ensemble ils font de l'Angleterre un pays puissant qui résiste à tous les conflits extérieurs. Mais la couronne devra faire face à une entrave : la difficulté de la reine à enfanter. Une femme forte, qui a su s'imposer en tant que politicienne, diplomate ou encore commandante militaire et qui mènera à bien ce nouveau combat pour sauver son amour. Et pour la touche moderne, la série met en lumière des sujets qui font écho à notre société actuelle : la représentation des différentes cultures. https://youtu.be/6UzaQZ1wid0 The Great La relation amoureuse tumultueuse entre Catherine II et le tsar Peter de Holstein-Gottorp qui se marient alors que la jeune fille n'a que 16 ans… The Great se concentre sur le complot de Catherine pour assassiner son mari et prendre le trône de Russie. Suite au succès du film La Favorite et de sa nomination aux Oscars, le scénariste australien Tony McNamara a profité de sa récente notoriété Outre-Atlantique pour adapter sa propre pièce sur la vie de Catherine The Great, impératrice de Russie.

Matt Lewis concludes his series on the Wars of the Roses with a look at a figure who is often divisive and misunderstood, despised or loved, but who might even be labelled as a winner, maybe the winner of the Wars of the Roses. Margaret Beaufort was the mother of Henry Tudor and the matriarch of England's most famous dynasty. But the story of her early life gives no hint of what would follow.To discuss Margaret Beaufort, Matt is joined by Nicola Tallis whose biography Uncrowned Queen is a must-read for anyone interested in this period or in understanding the Tudors.The Senior Producer on this episode was Elena Guthrie. The Producer was Rob Weinberg.

As part of our Wars of the Roses special month, there's one family that demands more attention than they usually get: The Beauforts'.The influence of the Beauforts' in the Wars of the Roses can still be felt today, as Margaret Beaufort, the eventual heiress, gave birth to Henry VII, the first Tudor monarch. Though like most things in history, it's not straightforward, and it doesn't help that our guest and host today disagree on pretty much everything to do with the Wars of the Roses.Narrating this dramatic story, Matt Lewis is joined by author, Nathen Amin. The two delve deeper into the intriguing story of the Beauforts and the years of war and turmoil that followed.

Margaret Beaufort, driven to get her son on the throne from his birth or only a decision of last resort? Dangerous political opponent or a quiet submissive lady? Dragon of a mother in law, or kind and considerate? All these questions and more answered! Have a listen. 

I'm joined by best-selling historian Leanda de Lisle to talk about her critically acclaimed books, Lady Jane Grey's personality, James I's sexuality, Leanda's breakthrough with previously unpublished royal letters from the civil war, Margaret Beaufort's tragedy, and how a Welsh warrior and womaniser changed the monarchy forever.

Dr. Nicola Tallis joins me to talk about her most recent book - a biography of Margaret Beaufort. Beaufort has been accused of infanticide, murder, treason, and cruelty in her quest to put her son on the throne of England as King Henry VII. Who better to ask than the author of “Uncrowned Queen” about just how much of this is true?

On this day in Tudor history, 31st May 1443, Lady Margaret Beaufort, the woman known as the matriarch of the Tudor dynasty, was born.   Find out a few facts about her in this #TudorHistoryShorts from historian Claire Ridgway.   Here's a link to a more detailed video on her - https://youtu.be/RGbjeIrxtKc

As the first Tudor King, we recognize Henry VII as the patriarch, so his wife Elizabeth of York could be seen as the natural matriarch. Elizabeth represented the Yorkist claim to the throne, so she was an essential part of the story of the Tudors representing the union of York and Lancaster. She bore the King four children who survived infancy and early childhood, providing two sons—an heir and a spare. This guaranteed the continuation of the dynasty. Definitely a successful matriarch! On the other hand, Henry VII’s mother Margaret Beaufort was the driving force in keeping Henry Tudor alive and safe. She also kept the possibility of his taking the throne a real thing. She managed to be successful in the courts of both Lancaster and York and to develop relationships with supporters of both sides. Without her influence, it’s hard to imagine Henry Tudor being able to assemble the level of support (including Stanley’s troops) to defeat Richard III and be accepted as King. Also the work of a successful matriarch.These women weren’t traditional Queen Mothers. Margaret Beaufort had never been Queen, married to the King. Although Henry Tudor’s claim to the throne came through her, she never claimed the throne for herself. Elizabeth of York was married to the King, but she died before her husband and thus was never a Queen Dowager or Queen Mother. Nevertheless, Margaret Beaufort and Elizabeth of York shaped the early Tudor monarchy and helped establish the strength of the dynasty that would last more than a hundred years and continues to capture and hold our attention. We’re going to consider them in tandem and not in competition: two women, both mothers, who put the family business on the fast track to success.Henry VII had commissioned extraordinary tombs for himself and Elizabeth and for Margaret in the beautiful Henry VII Lady Chapel in Westminster Abbey. The grand tomb of Henry and Elizabeth was designed by Italian sculptor Pietro Torrigiano. The tomb base is topped by the bronze effigies of the King and Queen. Angels sit at each corner of the tomb, supporting the royal coat of arms. Margaret Beaufort’s tomb rests is to the right of Henry and Elizabeth’s. Her effigy was also created by Torrigiano in gilt bronze. She is dressed in a widow’s dress and hood; her portcullis badge and the Tudor rose surround her. At the west and east ends of her tomb chest are the arms of Edmund Tudor and Thomas Stanley; on the south side are the arms of Henry VII and Elizabeth of York, and on the north side are the arms of Henry VIII and Katherine of Aragon.Margaret Beaufort, Henry VII, and Elizabeth of York created the Tudor dynasty. Henry had been the monarch, but without the extraordinary contributions of Margaret Beaufort and Elizabeth of York, the dynasty could not have succeeded. It was not a case of the “Good Wife” versus “The Mother-in-Law from hell.” It was two strong women leaving their own special mark on their family and the nation.

In this episode, Gillian and Kendra briefly resurface from the safe haven of their Covid-free bunkers, to discuss how Margaret Beaufort, during the Wars of the Roses, used her Badass motherly instincts to become a political mastermind, overthrow a tyrant, and establish England's best-known royal dynasty - all while navigating one of the most tumultuous periods in British history. #britishhistory Badass Women of History The Podcast is produced by Industrial Sound & Magic.

The Wars of the Roses, or the Cousins Wars, were one of the most deadly and tumultuous times in English history, resulting in the death of many nobles. Today, Rachael Dickzen and I talk about some of the key players of the time: Henry VI, Edward IV, the Kingmaker, and Richard, Duke of York. We also discuss the women of the Wars of the Roses, including Elizabeth Woodville, Margaret Beaufort and Margaret of Anjou. We take a look at the family tree of Edward III and how that affected history, and we also touch base on sanctuary and quick executions.   Then historian and author Heather Darsie joins us again for Ask the Expert. Today’s topic is Katherine of Aragon (and her family), and we ask Heather the questions you submitted on social media. You’re really going to enjoy this one as Heather once again shatters our idea of what actually happened between the sheets with Katherine and Arthur Tudor. Lastly, Steph joins us again to share with you the story of the amazing Bess of Hardwick - you won’t want to miss this episode….listen in segments if you need to, but be sure to listen to it all.   Wars of the Roses: Open - 39:37 Katherine of Aragon: 39:38 - 1:08:34 Bess of Hardwick: 1:08:35 - 1:18:30 -- Credits: Written by: Rebecca Larson & Stephanie Stohrer Voiced by: Rebecca Larson, Stephanie Stohrer, Rachael Dickzen & Heather R.

The so-called “Wars of the Roses” is one of the most fascinating periods of English history. There is the uber-king, Henry V, vanquishing the enemy in France and inspiring his troops (and Shakespeare!) to a stunning victory at Agincourt. There’s his son, the under-king, Henry VI. Crowed as a child, Henry VI never came anywhere near the ease or effectiveness on the throne his father had. There are the York brothers, Edward, George, and Richard. All sons of Richard Duke of York, the three brothers displayed a level of ambition and ruthlessness that led to of them to the crown of England. And there are some Beauforts and Nevillles and Tudors lurking about as well.I can tell you right now that one of my very, very favorite things about this time period is the women!!They weren’t all dressed in armor and riding into battle like Joan of Arc, but the English women involved in the Wars of the Roses were fierce, fearless, and fantastic. They were queens, and almost-queens, and duchesses, and all-around fighters. They were also mothers and daughters and sisters who had a level of access to the of course male leaders of the time. These women broke the rules—and I mean BROKE the rules—and made new ones. Working from the inside, they changed everything.There are some terrific books about these women, and I’d like to share three with you:**She-Wolves: The Women Who Ruled England Before Elizabeth by Helen Castor.**Blood Sisters: The Women Behind the Wars of the Roses by Sarah Gristwood.**Uncrowned Queen: The Fateful Life of Margaret Beaufort, Tudor Matriarch by Nicola Tallis.

Charlie and Joanna Hickson (First Of The Tudors; The Tudor Crown; The Lady Of The Ravens) discuss the royal and noble individuals of the War of the Roses, the women who made an impact, the ever-present question of who killed the princes in the tower, and, on another topic entirely, using weasels to prevent conception. Please note that the question about the fear of pregnancy and childbirth includes a couple of mentions of a weasel's particulars.

On this day in Tudor history, 29th June 1537, just over a year after the execution of his former sweetheart, Anne Boleyn, Henry Algernon Percy, 6th Earl of Northumberland, died at around the age of thirty-five. He'd been ill for some time and had actually collapsed after he sat in judgement on Anne Boleyn and her brother, George, in May 1536. But who was Henry Percy and what happened between him and Anne? Find out more about him in today's talk from Claire Ridgway, author of "The Fall of Anne Boleyn: A Countdown". You can see this podcast as a video at the following link:https://youtu.be/RiTn2E6Iqo8 Also on this day in Tudor history, 29th June 1509, just four days after she had enjoyed the coronation celebrations of her grandson King Henry VIII and his queen consort, Catherine of Aragon, sixty-six-year-old Lady Margaret Beaufort died. Margaret Beaufort was the matriarch of the Tudor dynasty and was an amazing woman, in many ways, yet she is surrounded by myth and it seems fashionable to see her as a religious zealot. But who was this influential Tudor lady? What did she do? Find out in last year’s video - https://youtu.be/RGbjeIrxtKc 

Cette semaine, on vous a vanté les mérites de The Great, la dernière série Hulu à arriver sur la plateforme Starzplay en France. Ce drame historique nous a conquis par l’humour tordant de la satire qu’il dépeint. Pour cette nouvelle reco du week-end, on vous propose donc 3 autres séries d’époque qui devraient assouvir votre soif de costumes bariolés et de vocabulaire désuet. On évitera soigneusement les évidences comme The Crown ou Outlander, vous n’avez pas besoin de nous pour vous en parler ! Catherine The Great (Canal+) Si The Great explore, avec liberté, les débuts de Catherine II à la cour de Russie, la minisérie Catherine The Great s’intéresse elle aux dernières années de son règne. L’impératrice est incarnée magistralement par l’actrice Helen Mirren alors que l’on suit sa liaison avec un officier de la garde, Grigory Potemkin pendant qu’elle navigue entre les scandales et conflits qui la mèneront à la fin de son règne en 1796. La série nous offre une réalisation léchée et des performances d’acteurs qui forcent le respect. Les 4 épisodes sont disponibles sur myCANAL. Format : 4x60'Durée totale de visionnage : 4 heures https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNSacMPj1tE Dickinson (Apple TV+) C’était l’une des séries les plus convaincantes de la plateforme Apple TV+ à son lancement : Dickinson est un drame historique qui se concentre sur ses jeunes générations via le point de vue d’une aspirante poète, Emily Dickinson. Par ses thématiques abordées et son ton résolument moderne, la série a souvent été comparée à Euphora. Bien plus optimiste que sa consoeur, elle explore via son anachronisme des thématiques très actuelles comme la question du genre à une époque pourtant bien lointaine. Format : 10x32'Durée totale de visionnage : 5 heures 20 minutes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBMeB6xG4rE The White Queen (Orange VOD) Enfin, on termine avec un pur drame historique diffusée sur la BBC en 2013 et sur Starz aux États-Unis, The White Queen. La minisérie suit la lutte de deux familles pour le trône d’Angleterre en 1464 : les York et les Lancastre. En coulisse, on suit l’histoire de trois femmes, Elizabeth Woodville, Margaret Beaufort et Anne Neville, dont les manipulations vont avoir un impact déterminant pour l’avenir du pays. Une fresque prenante qui ne lésine pas sur les rebondissements dans son intrigue et nous tient haleine jusqu’au bout de ses 10 épisodes.

Last year, The Tudor Travel Show covered the archaeological excavations going on to locate the original position of the now lost palace of Collyweston, in Northamptonshire. In this month's episode, we revisit Collyweston, the Midlands home of Margaret Beaufort, to hear from Rachel Delman, Lecturer in History at York University, about how the palace appeared and was used by Margaret in its hey-day. There is an abbreviated transcript of this chat available on the blog.   In the second half of the episode, Sarah chats with Alden Gregory, Curator of Historic Buildings at Historic Royal Palaces about what turns out to be a fascinating subject: Tudor tents! Alden has been involved in the recreation of part of a royal, Tudor tent, due to be included in the 'Gold and Glory' exhibition at Hampton Court to celebrate the 500th anniversary of the Field of Cloth of Gold. Learn about these mini-palaces and how they were used by the Tudor court. (Please note that this was recorded just as lockdown was getting underway in the UK and so the exhibition has had to be delayed until a later - hopefully!)    Finally, The Tudor Travel Guide news desk returns with all the latest April news from the sixteenth-century. On this occasion, our roving reporter is live at Greenwich Palace, where Anne Boleyn has just been presented as queen on East Eve, 12 April 1533.…    If you want to keep up to date with all the Tudor Travel Guide's adventures, as well as top tips for planning your own Tudor road trip, don't forget to subscribe to the blog via www.thetudortravelguide.com.   This podcast now has an accompanying closed Facebook group, dedicated to discussing the places and artefacts discussed in each episode. it is also a place to ask your fellow Tudor time travellers questions about visiting Tudor locations or planning your Tudor-themed vacation or sharing your top tips to help others get the most out of their Tudor adventures on the road.

As a special Christmas treat for you, my listeners, I have done something a bit different for this episode of Past Matters. Instead of asking a museum, gallery or historic house what their most underrated item is, I have instead asked historian Nicola Tallis, what historical object she thinks is underrated. Her choice? The tomb of Margaret Beaufort at Westminster Abbey. So download this episode to hear more about this ultimate Tiger Mum. And, if you want a more in-depth analysis of her life, I recommend you buy a copy of Nicola’s latest book which is about Margaret and called ‘Uncrowned Queen: The Fateful life of Margaret Beaufort, Tudor Matriarch’. As ever if you want to see a picture of the objects featured in my episodes, you can find them on my website, ployradford.com. Enjoy and have a fabulous festive season!

Lady Margaret Beaufort, Mother of King Henry VII and Elizabeth of York, daughter of King Edward IV and Queen of King Henry VII --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/allthingsplantagenet/support

Henry VII (Welsh: Harri Tudur; 28 January 1457 – 21 April 1509) was the King of England and Lord of Ireland from his seizure of the crown on 22 August 1485 to his death. He was the first monarch of the House of Tudor. Henry attained the throne when his forces defeated King Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth Field, the culmination of the Wars of the Roses. He was the last king of England to win his throne on the field of battle. He cemented his claim by marrying Elizabeth of York, daughter of Richard's brother Edward IV. Henry was successful in restoring the power and stability of the English monarchy after the civil war. Henry is credited with a number of administrative, economic and diplomatic initiatives. His supportive policy toward England's wool industry and his standoff with the Low Countries had long-lasting benefit to the whole English economy. He paid very close attention to detail, and instead of spending lavishly he concentrated on raising new revenues. New taxes stabilised the government's finances, although a commission after his death found widespread abuses in the tax collection process. After a reign of nearly 24 years, he was peacefully succeeded by his son, Henry VIII. Henry VII was born at Pembroke Castle on 28 January 1457 to Margaret Beaufort, Countess of Richmond. His father, Edmund Tudor, 1st Earl of Richmond, died three months before his birth.[1] Henry's paternal grandfather, Owen Tudor, originally from the Tudors of Penmynydd, Isle of Anglesey in Wales, had been a page in the court of Henry V. He rose to become one of the "Squires to the Body to the King" after military service at the Battle of Agincourt.[2] Owen is said to have secretly married the widow of Henry V, Catherine of Valois. One of their sons was Edmund Tudor, father of Henry VII. Edmund was created Earl of Richmond in 1452, and "formally declared legitimate by Parliament".[3] Henry's main claim to the English throne derived from his mother through the House of Beaufort. Henry's mother, Lady Margaret Beaufort, was a great-granddaughter of John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, fourth son of Edward III, and his third wife Katherine Swynford. Katherine was Gaunt's mistress for about 25 years. When they married in 1396 they already had four children, including Henry's great-grandfather John Beaufort. Thus, Henry's claim was somewhat tenuous; it was from a woman, and by illegitimate descent. In theory, the Portuguese and Castilian royal families had a better claim as descendants of Catherine of Lancaster, the daughter of John of Gaunt and his second wife Constance of Castile. Gaunt's nephew Richard II legitimised Gaunt's children by Katherine Swynford by Letters Patent in 1397. In 1407, Henry IV, Gaunt's son by his first wife, issued new Letters Patent confirming the legitimacy of his half-siblings, but also declaring them ineligible for the throne.[4] Henry IV's action was of doubtful legality, as the Beauforts were previously legitimised by an Act of Parliament, but it further weakened Henry's claim. Nonetheless, by 1483 Henry was the senior male Lancastrian claimant remaining after the deaths in battle, by murder or execution of Henry VI, his son Edward of Westminster, Prince of Wales, and the other Beaufort line of descent through Lady Margaret's uncle, the 2nd Duke of Somerset. Henry also made some political capital out of his Welsh ancestry in attracting military support and safeguarding his army's passage through Wales on its way to the Battle of Bosworth.[5][6] He came from an old, established Anglesey family that claimed descent from Cadwaladr, in legend, the last ancient British king,[7] and on occasion Henry displayed the red dragon of Cadwaladr.[5] He took it, as well as the standard of St George, on his procession through London after the victory at Bosworth.[8] A contemporary writer and Henry's biographer, Bernard André, also made much of Henry's Welsh descent.[7] In reality, his hereditary connections to Welsh aristocrac --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/allthingsplantagenet/support

Margaret Pole, Countess of Salisbury (14 August 1473 – 27 May 1541), was an English peeress. She was the daughter of George, Duke of Clarence, the brother of kings Edward IV and Richard III. Margaret was one of two women in 16th century England to be a peeress in her own right with no titled husband. One of the few surviving members of the Plantagenet dynasty after the Wars of the Roses, she was executed in 1541 at the command of Henry VIII, who was the son of her first cousin Elizabeth of York. Pope Leo XIII beatified her as a martyr for the Catholic Church on 29 December 1886. Margaret was born at Farleigh Hungerford Castle in Somerset, the only surviving daughter of George Plantagenet, 1st Duke of Clarence, and his wife Isabel Neville, who was the elder daughter of Richard Neville, 16th Earl of Warwick, and his wife Anne de Beauchamp, Countess of Warwick. Her maternal grandfather was killed fighting against her uncle, Edward IV of England, at the Battle of Barnet. Her father, already Duke of Clarence, was then created Earl of Salisbury and of Warwick. Edward IV declared that Margaret's younger brother Edward should be known as Earl of Warwick as a courtesy title, but no peerage was ever created for him. Margaret would have had a claim to the Earldom of Warwick, but the earldom was forfeited on the attainder of her brother Edward. Margaret's mother died when she was three, and her father had two servants killed whom he thought had poisoned her. George plotted against his brother, Edward IV, and was attainted and executed for treason; his lands and titles were forfeited. Edward IV died when Margaret was ten, and her uncle Richard, Duke of Gloucester, declared that Edward's marriage was invalid, his children illegitimate, and that Margaret and her brother Edward were debarred from the throne by their father's attainder. Married to Anne Neville, younger sister to Margaret's mother Isabel, Richard assumed the throne himself as Richard III. Richard III sent the children to Sheriff Hutton Castle in Yorkshire. He was defeated and killed in 1485 at the Battle of Bosworth by Henry Tudor, who succeeded him as Henry VII. The new king married Margaret's cousin Elizabeth of York, Edward IV's daughter, and Margaret and her brother were taken into their care. Soon young Edward, a potential York claimant to the throne, was moved to the Tower of London. Edward was briefly displayed in public at St Paul's Cathedral in 1487 in response to the presentation of the impostor Lambert Simnel as the "Earl of Warwick" to the Irish lords. Shortly thereafter, probably in November 1487, Henry VII gave Margaret in marriage to his cousin, Sir Richard Pole, whose mother was half-sister of the king's mother, Margaret Beaufort.[5] When Perkin Warbeck impersonated Edward IV's presumed-dead son Richard of Shrewsbury, 1st Duke of York, in 1499, Margaret's brother Edward was attainted and executed for involvement in the plot. Richard Pole held a variety of offices in Henry VII's government, the highest being Chamberlain for Arthur, Prince of Wales, Henry's elder son. When Arthur married Catherine of Aragon, Margaret became one of her ladies-in-waiting, but her entourage was dissolved when the teenaged Arthur died in 1502. When her husband died in 1505, Margaret was a widow with five children, a limited amount of land inherited from her husband, no salary and no prospects. Henry VII paid for Richard's funeral. To ease the situation, Margaret devoted her third son Reginald Pole to the Church, where he was to have an eventful career as a papal Legate and later Archbishop of Canterbury. Nonetheless, he was to resent her abandonment of him bitterly in later life. Additionally, Margaret, without adequate means to support herself and her children, was forced to live at Syon Abbey among Bridgettine nuns after her husband's death. She was to remain there until she returned to favour at the ascension of Henry VIII in 1509. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/allthingsplantagenet/support

Today is the anniversary of the death of sixty-six-year-old Lady Margaret Beaufort on 29th June 1509, just four days after she enjoyed the coronation celebrations of her grandson King Henry VIII and his queen consort. Catherine of Aragon. Margaret Beaufort was the matriarch of the Tudor dynasty and was an amazing woman, in many ways, yet she is surrounded by myth and it seems fashionable to see her as a religious zealot. But who was this influential Tudor lady? What did she do? In today's video, Claire Ridgway, founder of the Tudor Society, fleshes out Margaret Beaufort with a few facts about her and her life. You can see this podcast as a video at the following link:https://youtu.be/RGbjeIrxtKc 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/

Aug 11, 2018 at 8:02am   On my Facebook page called, Tudors Dynasty, I asked my followers who they believed to be the most influential women of the Tudor era. It is because of this poll that I decided to turn this into a series of episodes about some amazing Tudor women.  With this episode I focused on Margaret Beaufort, someone that I have not written much about in the past so it was fun to learn more about her.  -- Written by: Rebecca Larson Voiced by: Rebecca Larson Produced by: Rebecca Larson Music Credits:  Suonatore di Liuto Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/  --- Sources:  https://thefreelancehistorywriter.com/2014/01/10/lady-margaret-beaufort-the-kings-mother/ https://www.theanneboleynfiles.com/lady-margaret-beaufort/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Beaufort,_Countess_of_Richmond_and_Derby https://www.historyextra.com/period/medieval/12-things-you-probably-didnt-know-about-the-wars-of-the-roses/
