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

Welcome back to another installation in our Wars of the Roses week. We are looking at the endlessly fascinating Margaret Beaufort. In later years, she may be viewed as a bit of a controversial figure, but today we're just looking at her early years.

The Tudors are Britain's most famous royal dynasty. They ruled over England from 1485 until 1603, and included England's two arguably most influential monarchs - Henry VIII and Elizabeth I. However, the Tudor dynasty also included many other fascinating and consequential monarchs such as Henry VII (the first Tudor monarch), Edward VI and Mary I (England's first female monarch).In this twelve-part series, I am joined by recurring history buff and someone who studied the Tudor dynasty, Anna Morris. She is a familiar face on the podcast, having joined me to discuss the Empress Sissi of Austria all the way back in the first series.We will cover everything from the end of the Battle of Bosworth Field and beginning of the Tudor Dynasty in 1485 all the way up to Elizabeth I's death at the end of her so-called Golden Age.In this first episode, we will talk about the end of the Wars of the Roses—a series of civil wars fought between the houses of Lancaster and York for control of the English throne from 1455 to 1487. We will discuss how Henry Tudor, a plucky Welsh-born descendant of John of Gaunt with a fairly tenuous claim to the English throne, ended up winning it on the blood-spattered field of Bosworth in 1485.You can watch the video of the episode on Youtube.For more content and if you'd like to sign up to our mailing list to be notified whenever we release a new episode, then head over to The History Buff website.

The Tudor Dynasty was notorious for creating religious tension across England as they swayed between Protestantism and Catholicism, depending on who wore the crown. With Elizabeth I on the throne, Catholics were forced to practice their beliefs in hiding. Margaret Ward was empathetic towards the Catholic priests being imprisoned and went so far as to help one of them escape. Known as the 'Pearl of Tyburn', she paid the highest price for another man's freedom.Support the show

On 17 November 1558, Queen Mary I died. But how would history have turned out differently if Mary had lived another 30 years? Where would her Roman-Catholicism taken England? Would Mary have patched up relations between England and the rest of Europe? In this counterfactual special to end her Tudor Dynasty series, Professor Suzannah Lipscomb asks a panel of experts to speculate on the reign that might have been. Suzannah is joined by Dr. Gonzalo Velasco Berenguer, Prof. Alexander Samson and Prof. Anna Whitelock.Subscribers to History Hit can also watch this discussion, here: https://access.historyhit.com/what-s-new/videos/mary-i-real-fake-historyThis episode was edited by Joseph Knight and produced by Rob Weinberg.Sign up to History Hit at historyhit.com/subscribe using code BLACKFRIDAYPOD at checkout, for £1 per month for 4 months and you'll get nearly £30 off our normal monthly price over your first 4 months.You can take part in our listener survey here: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/6FFT7MK

Professor Suzannah Lipscomb kicks off four special episodes about the Tudor Dynasty with a look at its founding father King Henry VII. Seen as an exile and outsider with barely a claim to the throne, there was little to suggest that the obscure Henry would last any longer than his predecessor Richard III who Henry defeated at the battle of Bosworth Field. To maintain his grip on power and to convince England that his rule was both rightful and effective, Henry VII embarked upon a ruthless and controlling kingshipIn this edition of Not Just the Tudors, Professor Suzannah Lipscomb finds out more about this unlikely monarch with Henry VII's biographer Sean Cunningham.This episode was produced by Rob Weinberg.Don't miss out on the best offer in history!

The Tudor Dynasty that ruled England from 1485 to 1603 is most famous for the drama at court, from Henry VIII's bluebeard tendencies to Elizabeth I's many fruitless suitors. But there was a lot more going on in this era than just bodice ripping. Join us as Rob & Ruairi make the case that this centralizing era was at least as important to the birth of British power as the much more celebrated 1600s commercial and parliamentary revolutions. In this enlightening episode, we explore how this famous dynasty's decisions resonated through time, shaping the course of England and the entire world. The Tudor era was a transformative period when monarchs not only navigated the intricate web of politics and power but also realigned the relationship between state and religion. In this episode we analyze the multifaceted impacts of centralizing power and exploring how it reshaped governance, religion, and cultural identity. The British Empire that eventually knit the whole world together would not have been possible without the work that the Tudors did. Join us for an episode that's often informative but also answers the deeply inessential question, can Rob name all the British Monarchs? ⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Books⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok

You may think you know all of the kings and queens of the Tudor Dynasty. We know King Henry VIII had 3 children, all of whom made their way to the throne at one point or another. But we tend to forget about another queen who reigned for a mere 9 days between King Edward VI and Queen Mary I. She was a young teenage girl by the name of Jane Grey. Later in history, she becomes known as the 9-day queen. The course of history was changed forever when the Edward VI added the the words 'and her' into his line of succession, making Jane next in line after his death. Those two words resulted in an epic fight for the crown, ending with battles and bloodshed. In part one of the season finale, Elizabeth and Megan walk through the final days of of the young girl who was used as a pawn in history's greatest chess game.

The first years of Christianity and, later, the years of the Protestant reformation were especially formative years in the Church. Father O'Connell guides the listener through historical facts with stories, always drawing us into the mindset of the key players and of the time in which they lived. How were the very first Christians viewed by their contemporaries, and why were they persecuted? How did the Church survive the popular heresies that arose while it was still very new? In the second part of the course, we learn about the humble beginnings of Martin Luther and how his personal theological difficulty became a movement that changed Christendom, one in which a one-time defender of the Catholic faith and the papacy, Henry the VIII, would later reject the authority of the pope and have himself declared the Supreme Head of the Church in England.  catholicthinkers.org https://youtu.be/F4TLG8j_vxw

Henry VII claimed to end the Wars of the Roses.

Nathen Amin explains how some Yorkist supporters rallied behind two significant attempts to topple the Tudors before the dynasty had a chance to take hold. It wasn't until the end of his reign that Henry VII could look back and see the results of his attempt to establish a new dynasty.

Who put the rock-a-bye-baby up in the tree branch, and why? Seems irresponsible. When it was raining and pouring, why didn't the old man get out of bed after bumping his head? Did he die? What is Ring Around the Rosie really about? The bubonic plague? Why are we singing to small children about cutting the tails off of three blind mice? Who wrote all the strange, often dark, mostly weird old nursery rhymes kids have been memorizing for centuries? We look into all of this and more today. Such a fun topic! We examine why nursery rhymes often appear dark and why that may have helped keep them popular. We look into the lore that surrounds a lot of popular old rhymes to try to separate origin fact from origin fiction. Comedic theory, mnemonic devices such as acoustic encoding, and more - all explored as I get both scientific and silly today, finally getting to know many classic nursery rhymes many of us have memorized but few actually understand. If you like to donate to the Bad Magic Giving Tree this year, please to amazon.com, purchase a gift card, and when you fill in the box for "To", enter the following email address: givingtree@badmagicproductions.com If you'd like to be the recipient of a donation, please email us why you could use a helping hand to get presents for your children this holiday season.

Dr. Tracy Borman is an internationally well-known and well-loved historian, broadcaster, and author. Her books are credited with humanizing the Tudors as she shares such details as Henry VIII's love of puddings and Elizabeth I's invention of her own perfume. Her nonfiction recreates and brings to life the famous figures of the Tudor dynasty. And her new non-fiction trilogy is described as “luring readers” into the world of Stuart England through the story of Lady Frances with effortless storytelling and vivid details. Tracy has been part of many historic programs for television, including The Fall of Anne Boleyn, Inside the Tower of London, World's Greatest Palaces, Private Lives of the Monarchs, Inside the Court of Henry VIII, Majesty and Mortal: Britain's Great Palaces, Tales from the Royal Bedchamber, and more.Her non-fiction books include Henry VIII and the Men who Made Him; The Private Lives of the Tudors: Uncovering the Secrets of Britain's Greatest Dynasty; Thomas Cromwell: The Hidden Story of Henry VIII's Most Faithful Servant; Elizabeth's Women; The Story of the Tower of London; Witches: A Tale of Sorcery, Scandal, and Seduction; Matilda: Queen of the Conqueror, and King's Mistress, Queen's Servant. Her fiction series, the King's Witch trilogy, includes The King's Witch, The Devil's Slave, and The Fallen Angel. Tracy's new book, Crown & Sceptre: A New History of the British Monarchy, will be released in the UK later this year and in 2022 in the US. It coincides with the celebrations of Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee.Tracy is also Joint Chief Curator of Historic Royal Palaces and actually has an office in Henry VIII's grand palace, Hampton Court.You can find Tracy on social media:Twitter: @TracyBormanInstagram: tracy.bormanWebsite is tracyborman.co.uk.

The Tudor court was always on the move. Basic hygiene required that the court remain in any one palace for just a few weeks before moving out so everything could be cleaned. Think of no indoor plumbing or running water. After a few weeks, it was time to move.During the spring and summer, those moves went beyond London into other parts of the country. This was for practical reasons in some ways—plague and other illnesses often came during these months, and London was crowded and therefore dangerous. Getting out of the city made good sense to avoid contagion.But beyond the need for cleaning and the advantage of avoiding disease, the most important motive for spring and summer progresses was to see and be seen. It was important for the monarch to visit worrisome areas of the country. That way, the highest figures in the government could identify areas where trouble was brewing and make a preemptive strike to settle things down. In addition, the physical presence of majesty could be enough to convince would-be rebels to think twice (or more!) about causing trouble. The size of the household and presence of guards and knights was a visual reminder of the power of the monarch. Early progresses of the first and final Tudor monarchs give us some great insight into the potential power of the royal progress.

I have some books that I want to share with you by historian and author Claire Ridgway. She has a website and Youtube channel called The Anne Boleyn Files. She is the author of many books on the subject of the execution of the second wife of Henry VIII. The books that I recommend are The Fall of Anne Boleyn a Countdown, George Boleyn and The Anne Boleyn Collections all with factual information. 

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.

America was founded by the Manga Carta in 1215, and cultivated in the English dynasty known as the Tudor Dynasty.  From King Henry 8th to Queen Elizabeth I, they all contributed to making the greatest county in the history of the World.
