Renaissance English History Podcast: A Show About the TudorsEpisode 142: A Deep Dive into 1527About ten years ago I read One Summer by Bill Bryson, which chronicled the summer of 1927 in America. I absolutely adore Bill Bryson anyway, and this book didn't disappoint. I wanted to do something similar on this show, showcasing one year in Tudor England. Just a spotlight on one eventful year. I chose 1527 because it was 400 years before Bill Bryson's book, and also it was the year that Henry's Great Matter began, so there was a lot to talk about.You can get full show notes, sources, etc., at englandcast.com/1527.And remember that...

But what about the romances that went sour? They may have started off full of hope, but then it all backfired. In this episode we take a look at a couple of Bad Tudor Romances....

But it's not the St Paul's we know - it was a gothic church, that was started 400 years before our Tudor friends lived there. The other thing that is important about life around St Paul's was the publishing and bookselling businesses that sprang up around the churchyard. It became a...

His story is the natural fulfillment of the story of the Tudors, of the Reformation that Henry VIII set into motion a century before. It's interesting that the Tudors dynasty was bookended by civil war on either sides of it, and understanding why Charles met the fate he did is crucial to understanding the impact of the Tudor policies.
