Hello everyone and welcome to the History of England, episode 236, the Burning of Dirtle

Gadan. I have a special sponsor for a while, I'd like to tell you about, and in fact,

I'm wearing at this very moment, these are super cool and I mean super cool,

studio, regent, wireless headphones of the on the airtime, if you know what I mean,

basically they cover your ears. They sound as clear as a bell, they are so easy to use

circumstances, hold your breath. The history of my promises podcast timing-wise is a sad

litany of failure and broken dreams. In the more immediate future, this week, Ladies and Gentlemen,

is a game of two halves really gym. We have the story of Jane Seymour and some very good news for

Henry, and we return to religion to the Bishop's Book and the burning of a chap called Darvel

G'dan. Let us start though with childbirth, and you might like to know also actually that next week
