Margaret Cavendish: More Than "Mad Madge"

Aug 25, 2018 at 4:21pm I was having a difficult time coming up with a topic for this week's podcast. I reached out to my followers on Facebook and a couple of them mentioned that they would be interested in finding out what got me interested in The Tudor dynasty in the first place. I thought it was a fantastic idea and so I ran with it. This episode begins talking about Henry VII and the Battle of Bosworth as well as Elizabeth of York and leads up to the birth of Prince Arthur. I discuss my genealogy, my DNA, favorite programs and so much more. If you really want to get a feel for who I am and what drives me then you'll love this episode. *side note - I discovered later that I am NOT related to the person I mentioned. It was a bad hint. (You'll know what this means after you listen) As always, I say thank you to all my patrons and to those of you who have supported over the years. Thanks again! A very special thank you to Nathen Amin for allowing me to share the quote from his social media account.  -- 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/

Aug 11, 2018 at 8:02am   On my Facebook page called, Tudors Dynasty, I asked my followers who they believed to be the most influential women of the Tudor era. It is because of this poll that I decided to turn this into a series of episodes about some amazing Tudor women.  With this episode I focused on Margaret Beaufort, someone that I have not written much about in the past so it was fun to learn more about her.  -- 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:  https://thefreelancehistorywriter.com/2014/01/10/lady-margaret-beaufort-the-kings-mother/ https://www.theanneboleynfiles.com/lady-margaret-beaufort/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Beaufort,_Countess_of_Richmond_and_Derby https://www.historyextra.com/period/medieval/12-things-you-probably-didnt-know-about-the-wars-of-the-roses/

Jul 29, 2018 at 9:57am Here I wrap up my series on life in Tudor England. In the first two parts in this series I tried to really cover every day life. This time I did something a bit different but still pertains to something those living during the Tudor era would have experienced. Hope you enjoyed this series! ---- 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: Goodman, Ruth; "How to Be a Tudor" O'Caellaigh, Seamus; "Pustules, Pain and Pestilence" The Encyclopedia of Tudor England

Jun 30, 2018 at 8:40pm In the last episode, Part One of Life in Tudor England I covered, Tudor Women, Marriage, Childbirth, Fairs & Markets, Entertainment, Average Life and Food. If you missed out on that one it’s okay because each of these Tudor Life episodes can stand alone - so you can really listen to them in any order.  -- 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/

Jun 2, 2018 at 6:00pm   This is the second and last part on my "Understanding the Man" series on King Henry VIII. As many of you may already know, King Henry VIII is my favorite monarch of the Tudor dynasty. If it wasn’t for his reign I do not believe the Tudors would be as popular as they are today. In this episode I continue on my journey to explain the Henry I have learned to love...and hate. In this series on Henry VIII I want to take a different look at the king who executed two of his six wives. My mission is to make those of you who look at him as a tyrant to see what made him into the man he became later into his reign.  --- 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/
