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". You can see this podcast as a video at the following link: https://youtu.be/JA5hsZk0G3k Also on this day in Tudor history, 3rd February 1587, the Privy Council met in William Cecil, Lord Burghley’s chambers at Greenwich and agreed to send Mary, Queen of Scots’ signed death warrant to Fotheringhay. You can find out more about that in last year’s video and my video from 1st February. https://youtu.be/cIEZJXK9q8M
