Synopsis
Tudor monarchs didn’t just sit on thrones—they moved with them. In this special interview, historian Carol Ann Lloyd joins me to explore the world of Tudor progresses: the royal road trips that brought the court (and the mess) to towns across England. We chat about:Why Henry VII hit the road just months after becoming kingHow nobles went bankrupt trying to impress Elizabeth IThe epic disaster of Henry VIII’s progress with Catherine HowardRobert Dudley’s full-blown 1575 Kenilworth Proposal-palooza (mermaids! fireworks! matching portraits!)And yes—mud, plague, and poop logistics.It’s part political strategy, part royal flex, and 100% fascinating. Don’t miss it!
