Summary

1,000 of burying the Kings, Queen and other English royals. From Medieval monarchs who were rushed to their graves, and occasionally exploded, to The Tudors and Stuarts whose people lined up to see life-like wax effigies of their recently deceased monarchs. And I'll unpack the funeral traditions which were seen at Queen Elizabeth II’s grand finale, one year ago. Join me every Tuesday when I'm Spilling the Tea on History!
