    Fascinating - loved the descriptions of Elizabeth 1 and the tiny details re her jewels ‘pearls the size of small beans sewn inside her robe’. Lovely stuff.

  • No self-respecting anglophile should miss this podcast! Great information that I have not heard before. It all started with OWEN. Never heard of him prior to finding Mr. Richesand his hidden royal gems.
