Renaissance English History Podcast: A Show About The Tudors

It's a day to celebrate love, and romance, and all that mushy stuff. And the 16th century has its share of great love stories (fun fact: the wedding vows that we use today - to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, etc - are from Cranmer's Book of Common Prayer, and were inspired by his own secret marriage). 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.

This episode is the first in a mini series on life in Tudor London, and today I give a brief intro to what life was like in the capital during the Tudor period, followed by an exploration of the most obvious landmark in the City - St Paul's Cathedral. 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 hub of books and pamphlets, and was the Elizabethan equivalent of Waterstones or Barnes and Noble.TudorFair.com for all your gift giving needs.Englandcast.com/Tudorcon2020 for Tudorcon infoEnglandcast.com/stpauls for show notesRemember, if you like this show, the number one way you can support it is by leaving a rating or review on iTunes, or wherever you are listening to this.

In this episode we chat about how our Tudor friends traveled. There's this myth that people in medieval and early Modern England didn't travel - that they stayed in their one little area forever, and that was that. But actually, they had the travel bug, and from pilgrimages to jobs that included travel, there were plenty of opportunities to get out and see the world - or at least a piece of it.

This is the audio of Leanda de Lisle's talk at the 2019 Tudor Summit talking about Charles I, The White King (so the audio isn't the best). 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.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In Episode 125 we look at the experience of poverty in Tudor England, as well as the Tudor Poor Laws, leading up to the 1601 Elizabethan Poor Act. Something radical happened with the Dissolution of the Monasteries - care for the poor was suddenly shifted from being something that the church handled through the monasteries, to being something that fell on the government's shoulders. The debate about who should care for the poor has been with us since then.
