Mary & Anne: Sisters Divided by a Throne

Mary and Anne Stuart, daughters of James II, played key roles in shaping Britain’s monarchy. Mary and her husband, William of Orange, took the throne in 1689 during the Glorious Revolution, deposing her Catholic father. Anne later became queen in 1702 and oversaw the Act of Union in 1707, uniting England and Scotland. Her death in 1714 ended the Stuart line, ensuring a Protestant succession.

Katheryn Howard - Part Two

In the last podcast we ended with Katheryn Howard married and Thomas Cromwell was executed. If you missed it, I’d recommend going back and listening to that one first, it was called Katheryn Howard: Part One. As a queen of England Katheryn is only remembered for being the fifth wife of Henry VIII, and was executed. If it hadn’t been for her scandalous downfall, and said execution, we would not have as much interest in Katheryn as we do today.

We’ll start with Katheryn’s childhood and attempt to chronologically move through time until her execution in 1542. -- Further Reading: Russell, Gareth; Young and Damned and Fair – The Life of Catherine Howard, Fifth Wife of Henry VIII (2016) Loades, David; The 6 Wives of Henry VIII (2014) Licence, Amy; The Six Wives and Many Mistresses of Henry VIII (2014) Fraser, Antonia; The Wives of Henry VIII (1994) Weir, Alison; The Six Wives of Henry VIII (1991) Kizewski, Holly K.; Jewel of Womanhood: A Feminist Reinterpretation of Queen Katheryn Howard (Thesis 7/30/14 – University of Nebraska – Lincoln) Hutchinson, Robert; Thomas Cromwell (2007)
