March 5 - Tobacco comes to Europe

On this day in Tudor history, 5th March 1558, Spanish physician Francisco Fernandes brought back live tobacco plants and seeds from Mexico to Europe. In today's "On This Day in Tudor History", Claire Ridgway, founder of the Tudor Society, talks about the introduction of tobacco in Europe and how it was viewed as a cure-all, and how tobacco smoking became fashionable at Elizabeth I's court.
