In 1533, the Boleyns seemed to have it all. Anne Boleyn was Queen, and her family were reaping the rewards of Henry VIII's favour. But it was not to last.
Within three years, each member of the faction was fighting for survival as their power evap... more
The Boleyn family captivated Henry VIII – but who were they before their meteoric rise to fame? Who were the little-known women operating from Hever Castle? And was Anne's father the schemer he's made out to be?
In this first episode of a new seri... more
Thomas Cromwell might have pulled off the most meteoric social climb of the 16th century. From the rough shores of Putney to the illustrious court of Henry VIII, his journey to power reveals so much about the opportunities and dangers of the Tudor pe... more
Thomas More lived by the mantra, 'I am the King's good servant, but God's first'. He would also die by it. His defiance at Henry VIII's break with Rome would be his salvation, and his destruction.

These podcasts are wonderful.
The presenters cover so many different topics, which includes a mini series called ‘A Space I Love’, and also introductions to the current PhD students and what their research is.
It keeps the podcasts very fresh.
Tudors do feature in many episodes, of course, but i’m very glad that other dynasties are covered.
Gareth Russell is an absolute gem.
Love this fascinating information!! Thank you. Great podcast. Wish I knew about it before I went to London!!!
i’ve never listened to a podcast that gives you such a good sense of place. i love that there’s the little sounds of people walking through the castle - the steps, the opening of a door, the flipping of a book. the guests are great and the host(s) do/does a good job. overall a new favorite history podcast of mine. particularly fond of the six tudor queens series.
Loved the series on the stolen crown and especially Arabella Stuart. Love hearing about the less talked about players in the Tudor-Stuart reigns. Would love to learn more about Eleanor Clifford and her daughter Margaret.
Another idea could be the heirs overlooked that brought George I to the throne. Who were some of the Catholics in line besides James II son that were pushed aside for a non-English born Protestant ruler?
Incredible podcast. I have loved learning from the academics on the show and it has brought the history alive. I have loved the series on The Wars of the Roses! Thank you!
