Margaret Pole part 2

Margaret Pole Part II: Countess of Salisbury, Catherine of Aragon’s Bestie & Mary Tudor’s Mentor In this episode, we track Margaret from a broke widow and Catherine of Aragon’s confidante to a savvy court operator who’s made a Countess in her own right. But, this is the Tudor era so something wild is always lurking right around the corner. We're talking messy divorce scandals, treasonous dukes and just a whole lot of drama. Listen for: Wars of the Roses fallout, early King Henry VIII of England vibes (pre–axe era), Queen Mary Tudor’s childhood, sweating sickness, and how one woman’s patronage and grit shaped a future queen.
