Parallel Lives: Katherine of Aragon and Catherine de Medici

Parallel Lives: Katherine of Aragon and Catherine de Medici

In this episode, Dr. Emma and I set Catherine de Medici and Katherine of Aragon side by side—two queens whose lives reveal the price of power and the strength required to survive it. Katherine of Aragon held firm against Henry VIII’s attempts to cast her aside, defending her daughter’s right to inherit England’s crown. Catherine de Medici, long dismissed as an outsider in France, became the strategist who steered a kingdom through wars of religion and the reigns of her sons.

This Saturday, September 27, 2025 at 1:00PM CDT, there is a Special Event with my friend, Matthew Lewis. Matt will be discussing my favorite, Empress Mathilda, and why shoud could not win the Crown. Get your tickets now before they'll unavailable! LEARN MORE!

Buckfast Abbey and Saint Thomas More

Buckfast Abbey and Saint Thomas More

This episode is probably best if watched as a video on Spotify or YouTube, but should also make sense by listening. I'll include a link to the images discussed. My visit to Buckfast Abbey was a surprise. My trusty guide Nigel did not tell me we would be stopping there but it turned into one of my best memories from my trip.

My Visit to Penshurst Place in Kent

My Visit to Penshurst Place in Kent

Before you critique my pronunciation of the name, I am merely repeating what those there said and it was confirmed online as well - yes, you pronounce the S. :) This is a brief episode of one of the manor houses I visited during my first week in England. I interviewed Dr. Linda Porter at the café before doing a tour of the place myself. It is a beautiful place, and I will also share my pictures with you once I get them organized a bit better -be sure to head over to my website and subscribe so you can see all the pictures there. If you previously subscribed please do so again because I had to do a website change which removed all previous subscribers. -- Commercial-free for patrons! -- Hosted by: Rebecca Larson Credit on history to: https://www.penshurstplace.com/
