The Kings and Queens podcast23. Elizabeth IAccording to contemporary John Hayward, ‘no one knew better than Elizabeth I (1558-1603) the art of commanding men.’

Tudors Dynasty & BeyondDr. Wendy J. Dunn on Katherine of AragonOn this episode I speak with Australian author and historian, Dr. Wendy J. Dunn. Wendy is the author of three absolutely amazing Tudor novels. We talk about the central characters in each: Anne Boleyn, Thomas Wyatt, Catherine Carey and Katherine of Aragon.
Wendy also discusses what the writing process was like for her, as well as how she handled rejection.
We discuss Katherine of Aragon's early years before arriving in England as her time with Arthur. Somehow I got her to answer the 'did they or didn't they question'.
