Tudor Chat and Trivia with Heather & Rebecca

Feb 16, 2018 at 7:22pm   The Life of Lady Jane Grey (Part One)   There were many reasons why I wanted to do a series on Lady Jane Grey.  1. February is the month she was executed 2. I have read 'Crown of Blood' by Nicola Tallis 3. I just finished 'Three Sisters Who Would Be Queen' by Leanda De Lisle 4. BBC recently had a series on her as well, so Jane is hot-topic this month. The life of Lady Jane Grey has been told many times. Most of the stories mention an abusive home where Jane felt trapped. But they do not often make you feel like you are getting a glimpse at the real Jane.  My series on Jane will hopefully open your eyes to interesting bits you did not know. -- Written by: Rebecca Larson Voiced by: Rebecca Larson Produced by: Rebecca Larson Music Credits:  Suonatore di Liuto Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sources/References:  De Lisle, Leanda.

Feb 4, 2018 at 1:42pm   Here is the last episode in the series on Elizabeth, Queen of England.  As this journey to discover the real Elizabeth Tudor, Queen of England comes to an end I have decided to focus on two important women of the era. They were both female, both royal by birth and both Queens in their own right, but being cousins is what caused the most havoc in their lives of these two women. I am of course speaking of Elizabeth Tudor and Mary Stuart.

Jan 1, 2018 at 11:28am   Elizabeth Tudor has always been on the back-burner for me. While I love the fact that she is the daughter of King Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn I’ve never been as interested in her reign as I have been for her father’s. In this week's episode we continue on with the life of Elizabeth Tudor.  Born in 1533, Elizabeth lived through the reign of her father, brother and sister to become Gloriana. In this series we work through important events in the life of Elizabeth to help me understand why so many of you love her so much.   Thank you to my current patrons - hear your special shout out in the show!

In this final part of the series I look into the interrogations of those around Katheryn Howard, her confessions, final words and execution. This series has truly been a labor of love. I never would have thought that I would enjoy learning so much about Katheryn Howard - she is not as boring as I had once believed.  -- Written by: Rebecca Larson Voiced by: Rebecca Larson Produced by: Rebecca Larson Music Credits:  Suonatore di Liuto Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/
