Hey y'all, I'm your host, Kate Taylor. I live in the deep south, work in a public library, and spend way too much time thinking about the Tudors. This is a (mostly) chronological discussion about the Tudors and their impact on English history. We start with Henry V and end with coronation of Charles III. In laying out the underpinnings of the Tudor dynasty, I hope to introduce them, along with other interesting characters, to people who may not know much about them, and hopefully I can provide some interesting facts that fellow Tudorphiles have not heard before. I do a lot of research for each episode, and like a good librarian, I don't rely on Wikipedia or other untrustworthy sources. I appreciate reviews and ratings, and I welcome your feedback!
