At the Tudor court, Twelfth Night was more than the end of Christmas. Using specific recorded celebrations from across the sixteenth century, this minicast explores how plays, masques, tournaments, dancing, and banquets were used to perform power at court. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode of The Tudor Dixon Podcast, Tudor sits down with Seamus Bruner, Director of Research at the Government Accountability Institute, to expose the shocking welfare fraud scandal in Minnesota, where more than $1 billion in taxpayer funds has allegedly gone missing—some of it potentially benefiting terrorist-linked organizations. Tudor and Seamus break down how massive failures in government oversight allowed this fraud to flourish, what it reveals about systemic corruption, and how taxpayer money is being mismanaged across infrastructure projects and green energy initiatives, including the electric vehicle agenda. The conversation also explores how protests are politically manipulated, how radical organizations are funded, and why transparency and accountability in government spending are more urgent than ever.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Christmas in Tudor England wasn't a single day, it was a season. And Twelfth Night was its final, glittering crescendo. In this final episode of my Tudor Advent and Christmas series, I explore how Tudor people marked the end of Christmas with feasting, music, disguisings, misrule, and the famous Twelfth Night cake, complete with a hidden bean or pea to crown a King (or Lord of Misrule) for the night. I also explain: When Twelfth Night actually was — the 5th or the 6th of January Why Epiphany mattered both socially and spiritually How Tudor court celebrations turned halls into living theatre And how these traditions still survive today, including here in Spain with the Roscón de Reyes Twelfth Night mattered because it ended Christmas properly, rather than Christmas just fading away. If you've missed earlier episodes, do watch “The Real Twelve Days of Christmas”, where I explain how the Tudors celebrated the entire festive season: https://youtu.be/0t61a2jATgs Do you celebrate Epiphany or Twelfth Night today? I'd love to hear your traditions in the comments.

Henry VIII: beloved monarch or mass-murdering tyrant we refuse to confront?Why do we glorify a king who executed 1% of England and displaced over 10,000 people for his own power? It's time to dismantle everything you thought you knew about Henry VIII.Historian and educator Jackson Van Uden joins History Rage to expose the real Tudor ruler: a man his own contemporaries labelled a tyrant, not the charming Christmas-bauble king of Hampton Court gift shops. Henry didn't just kill wives — he destroyed lives, seized land, staged show trials, and crushed dissent with Stalin-level brutality. We dig into:How The Act of Supremacy turned Henry into a Caesar-papist dictator The Dissolution of the Monasteries and the 0.4% of England suddenly made homeless 200 peaceful Protesters executed after the Pilgrimage of Grace for simply disagreeing with the King Tudor “big, sexy history” that distracts from a reign built on fear How education today still sanitises Henry for the sake of heritage and TV scandals If pop culture has convinced you Henry was a misunderstood romantic, strap in — Jackson launches a rage that puts Henry in the same moral category as history's worst dictators. By the time we're finished, those Holbein portraits will never look the same again.Festival Info:The Katherine of Aragon Festival Talks are on January 31st and February 1st 2026 at Peterborough Cathedral:Tickets are available at: https://peterborough-cathedral.org.uk/about/history/katharine-of-aragon/kofa_26/

The events and odd circumstances regarding the strange royal pretender to the throne of England, Perkin Warbeck, are often overlooked, and dismissed, rightfully, as a minor footnote in the grand saga of the Tudor dynasty. However at the time, it reveals a regime in crisis- a crisis that was to force London to have a front row seat, and which started many themes that are going to repeat themselves in the cities story to come… the rise of the use of spies, Tudor entanglement in Ireland, complicated trade situations and above all, the Tudors using their family for political purposes, all really begin now in these few years, as London continued to annoy King Henry VII.Cover shows detail of ‘Saint Sebastian' by Lorenzo Costa, c.1490's

When you step into the Great Hall at Hampton Court Palace, the walls tell a story. In this minicast, we explore Henry VIII's Abraham tapestries: vast, expensive works of art that doubled as political messaging.Woven in the 1540s, these biblical scenes weren't just decoration. They reinforced Henry's claims to religious authority, dynastic legitimacy, and the future of the Tudor line, all at a moment when succession anxiety and church reform loomed large. Five hundred years later, the tapestries are still hanging—and still saying exactly what Henry wanted them to say.Read more here: https://www.amazon.com/Henry-VIII-Art-Majesty-Tapestries/dp/0300122349 Hosted on Acast.

This week on aBlogtoWatch Weekly, the team opens the floodgates on Watch Heritage™, questioning whether celebrating anniversaries still means anything when brands seem more excited about dates than doing something new today. As the conversation unfolds, Rolex, Omega, Tudor, and Breguet all get pulled into a spirited debate about when history becomes inspiration and when it turns into a crutch, with discontinued models, hypothetical anniversaries, and imaginary relaunches doing most of the heavy lifting. From there, things take a sharp turn as Ariel breaks down the Porsche Design Chronograph 1 and why car brand watches somehow feel acceptable when Porsche does it, even if the pricing still makes everyone flinch. The episode then ventures into dangerous territory with the watch website you DARE not visit, as the crew attempts to navigate the mysteriously elusive Peacock Watches site while discussing whether a Chinese tourbillon can actually impress seasoned collectors. Along the way, magnetism, innovation, value, and modern watch enthusiasm collide as everything nearly derails completely when Ripley almost drops an F-bomb over cookies, biscuits, wrappers, and the true meaning of holiday snacks. It's heritage, heresy, horology, and holiday chaos, exactly as intended.To check out the ABTW Shop where you can see our products inspired by our love of Horology:- Shop ABTW - https://store.ablogtowatch.com/To keep updated with everything Superlative, aBlogtoWatch Weekly, and aBlogtoWatch, check us out on:- Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/ablogtowatch/- Website - https://www.ablogtowatch.com/- Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/aBlogtoWatch If you enjoy the show please Subscribe, Rate, and Review!

By 1816, Frederic Tudor had spent a decade shipping New England ice to Cuba—with little to show for it. Setbacks and vanished profits nearly ruined him, and a gamble on shipping tropical fruit had left him barely solvent. Then a chance conversation sparked a bold new idea: expand the ice trade into the American South. Tudor rushed to South Carolina, only to clash with state officials who refused to grant him a monopoly on trade – a tactic he'd come to rely on. Their refusal forced him to rethink everything, and revise his strategy. But just as he began to find success, a series of catastrophes threatened his health, and events were set in motion that would transform the Ice King's future forever.Be the first to know about Wondery's newest podcasts, curated recommendations, and more!

Christmas Eve in Tudor England was a day of preparation, restraint, and anticipation, not feasting. It marked the final day of Advent. In this short Christmas Eve episode, I'm sharing quick reminders of how Tudor people marked this special day, from fasting and firelight to church and tradition, before the celebrations truly began. For a deeper look at how Christmas was celebrated across the whole season, watch my video “The Real Twelve Days of Christmas” - https://youtu.be/0t61a2jATgs Before I go, I also want to say a heartfelt thank you,  from me and Tim, and from our whole family (including the pets!), for all your support this year.

Tudor Christmas didn't just sound like gentle carols, it was bold, noisy, and spectacular. In this episode of my Tudor Christmas Advent series, we step beyond singing and into the vibrant world of Tudor Christmas music, the instruments, entertainers, and soundscape that filled great halls, courtyards, streets, and chambers during the festive season. This isn't church music. This is feasting, dancing, misrule, and display. You'll discover: - Why loud instruments like shawms and sackbuts dominated festive evenings - How pipes, tabors, and drums drove dancing and revelry - Which softer instruments — like viols, rebecs, and lutes — were played later in the evening - Who provided the music, from court musicians and household minstrels to the city waits - And why Henry VIII himself was at the heart of Tudor Christmas music-making If you'd like to explore Tudor music even further, I recommend my interview with historian, musician, and historical instrument maker Jane Moulder, which I've linked here: https://youtu.be/07xLwzchEqs Question for you: Which Tudor instrument would you most like to hear played live? #TudorChristmas #TudorMusic #TudorHistory #EarlyMusic #HenryVIII #ChristmasHistory #MusicHistory

Steven meets Lee May, the CEO of Tudor May, a prominent construction brand in the UK, and delves into Lee's journey from humble beginnings in the construction industry to leading a successful company projected to generate £52 million in revenue.  Lee shares insights on the importance of discipline, training, and maintaining a strong mindset, drawing parallels between physical fitness and business resilience Key Takeaways Regular training and exercise play a crucial role in maintaining discipline and mental resilience, which are essential for handling the pressures of being a CEO and making tough decisions. Embracing uncomfortable situations, such as intense workouts or ice baths, helps build mental strength and prepares individuals for high-pressure scenarios in business. Success in the construction industry relies heavily on strong relationships and trust with clients and partners. A focus on honesty and integrity fosters repeat business and long-term partnerships. The drive to leave a legacy for future generations is a significant motivator. Success is not just about personal wealth but also about creating opportunities and giving back to the community. BEST MOMENTS "What I train myself for is to be comfortable in uncomfortable situations. I like to put myself through it because it's conditioning." "As a CEO, you've got to be a risk taker. You have to take risks to grow your business." "For me, it's not the Lambos, it's not the helicopters. I walk most places... I want to leave behind my legacy." "If you create a winning culture or a culture, you will win every time."

Tudor Christmas wasn't just celebrated at home or in church, it was performed. In this episode of my Tudor Christmas Advent series, we step into the vivid, noisy, emotional world of Christmas mystery plays, public dramas staged in streets, market squares, and churchyards across medieval and early Tudor England. You'll discover: - What mystery plays really were — and why the word “mystery” meant craft, not confusion - How towns like York, Chester, and Coventry brought Christmas to life with pageant wagons and street drama - Why King Herod was played as a terrifying, shouting tyrant - How shepherds' humour made the Nativity relatable to Tudor audiences -  And how one of our most haunting carols, Coventry Carol, comes directly from a Christmas mystery play These plays didn't just tell people the Christmas story, they made them feel it.

Christmas in Tudor England wasn't only about feasting, pageantry, and celebration. It was also a season of obligation, a time when charity and almsgiving were seen as essential acts of faith. In this episode of my Tudor Christmas Advent series, I explore how medieval and Tudor people understood Christmas charity: not as a sentimental gesture, but as a moral and religious duty rooted in scripture, custom, and community. We'll explore: - Why charity was preached so strongly at Christmas - How St Thomas's Day set the tone for a charitable festive season - What great households were expected to give - How royal and parish charity worked before and after the Reformation For the Tudors, to give at Christmas was to prepare the soul for Christ's birth, and to refuse was seen as a failure of faith. I hope you enjoy this quieter, more reflective look at a Tudor Christmas tradition that mattered deeply to people living through the hardest time of the year.

It's the most wonderful time of the year, and so it was for the Tudors as well. Yes, its Christmas, and so I thought it would be the ideal opportunity to examine how the Tudors spent the most festive time of year. To join me, I am pleased to welcome back Tudor food and gardening historian, Brigitte Webster onto the podcast. She and I examine how the Tudors decorated the home, from the poorest of subjects right up to the royal family, we look into some of the major foods popular across the Tudor period, explore some traditions and also delve into what aspects of Tudor Christmas are still very much part of the way we celebrate today!

Christmas in Tudor England wasn't just about people, prayers, and pageantry, it was also shaped by animals. In today's episode of my Tudor Christmas Advent series, we step into the world of Tudor Christmas animals: the creatures that filled festive tables, shaped religious symbolism, inspired superstition, and even featured in royal gift-giving and court entertainments. Drawing on medieval sermons, Tudor household records, chronicles, cookery books, and royal accounts, this episode explores the very real animals that defined a Tudor Yuletide, from the triumphal boar's head to the ox and ass of the Nativity, from winter hunts and gifts of venison to cats watched for weather omens by the hearth.   If you enjoy historically accurate Tudor Christmas traditions, do give the video a like, subscribe, and click the bell so you don't miss the rest of the Advent series. And tell me in the comments: how do animals feature in your Christmas today? #TudorChristmas #TudorHistory #MedievalChristmas #TudorLife #ChristmasTraditions #HistoryAtChristmas

In 1806, Frederic Tudor set out to build a fortune by shipping ice from his family's pond near Boston to the tropical Caribbean—an audacious idea no one believed in. But turning frozen water into profit proved far harder than he imagined. By 1809, an embargo had halted his shipments, his debts had mounted, and Tudor himself landed in jail. Still, he refused to abandon the dream that everyone else mocked. Forced to improvise, innovate, and gamble, Tudor pushed ahead—determined to make the impossible pay.

The Christmas Character quiz is here: https://www.englandcast.com/christmas-character-quiz/ - I'd love to see what you got!And the ecard site is here: https://www.englandcast.com/tudor-tidings/How did the Tudors understand the human body, and why does their approach feel so strange to us today? In this episode, I explore how people in Tudor England thought about health, illness, emotion, and balance, and how the body was believed to be shaped by air, weather, and even feelings themselves. We'll also look at where Tudor medicine overlaps with our own, and why their way of living in the body wasn't as unscientific as it's often assumed. Hosted on Acast.

In this episode of the Tudor Dixon Podcast, Tudor examines the shocking Bondi Beach attack and what it reveals about radicalization, ISIS influence, and the alarming rise of global anti-Semitism. She explores how extremist ideologies take root, the psychological mechanics of indoctrination, and where security agencies are failing to stop violent attacks before they occur. Tudor also addresses the growing threat facing Jewish communities worldwide, the normalization of hate, and why society must confront anti-Semitic violence head-on. This episode is a critical conversation about terrorism, public safety, and the urgent need for accountability and action in the face of rising extremism.

Step with me into a palace that no longer stands, yet once witnessed some of the most important Christmases of the Tudor age. In this episode of my Tudor Christmas Advent series, we journey to Richmond Palace, once known as Shene: a beloved winter residence of the Tudor monarchs, rebuilt by Henry VII after a devastating fire and transformed into one of the most elegant palaces of the dynasty. Although Richmond has almost entirely disappeared, surviving sketches, descriptions, and ground plans allow us to reconstruct it in our imagination - its great halls glowing with candlelight, greenery hung for Christmas, music echoing through long galleries, and the Thames mist curling around red-brick towers. This was a palace where: Henry VII celebrated Christmas with ceremony and splendour Henry VIII spent tense, politically charged winters during the Great Matter and Elizabeth I passed her final Christmas, bringing the Tudor dynasty quietly to a close Richmond was not just a festive retreat — it was a stage for power, diplomacy, celebration, and endings. If you enjoy uncovering lost Tudor places, imagining historic Christmases, and exploring the quieter, more atmospheric side of royal history, this episode is for you. If Richmond Palace still stood today, would you want to walk its halls at Christmastime? Let me know in the comments.

For more than three centuries, a restrained Tudor portrait was confidently labeled as Lady Jane Grey. But the woman in the painting is almost certainly not Jane at all.In this episode, we explore the evidence that the famous Wrest Park portrait actually depicts Mary Neville, Lady Dacre, a young widow navigating disgrace, poverty, and political survival after her husband's execution. Through costume, symbolism, provenance, and later portraits, a very different story emerges.Grab your 2026 Tudor Planner here: https://tudorfair.com/products/2026-tudor-planner Hosted on Acast.

Poison was the rumor that never died in Tudor England. In this episode, we look at the deaths that Tudor contemporaries believed were “too convenient” to be natural: the Scottish commissioners who fell ill during Mary, Queen of Scots' marriage negotiations in France, the sudden collapse of Ferdinando Stanley, and the suspicions surrounding Darnley and Amy Robsart. Whether these cases were illness, accident, or something darker, the fear of poison shaped Tudor politics in surprising ways.Get your 2026 Tudor Planner here: https://tudorfair.com/products/2026-tudor-planner?_pos=1&_sid=f3a155f11&_ss=r Hosted on Acast.
