February 3 - Silken Thomas

On this day in Tudor history, 3rd February 1537, in the reign of King Henry VIII, Thomas Fitzgerald, 10th Earl of Kildare (known as Silken Thomas), his five uncles and Sir John Burnell, were executed as traitors at Tyburn in London. What led these men to these awful ends and why was Thomas known as "Silken Thomas". Find out more in today's talk from Claire Ridgway, author of "On This Day in Tudor History".
