This is the Tudor's Dynasty podcast.

And now, Ask the Expert with Steph.

Hello and welcome back to Ask the Expert on Tudor's Dynasty podcast.

I'm your host, Steph Store, and I'm here today with the fabulous and brilliant

author, Joanna Hexon. Hello, Joanna. Welcome. Hello, all the way from England. Yes, welcome. I'm so

happy that you're here with us today. And I can, I am just bursting because I can already think of

several topics. I love to discuss in just bursting because I can already think of several topics I love to discuss

in the future because you write just about such interesting things and people and we'll get

to all your books a little bit later. But today's, I don't know, quote, character for lack of a

better word, right, is Joan, I don't know even how to say it, Vox, Vaux? Do we say that?

It's the A-U-X, and it's I call her Joan Vaux. I think you're allowed to choose. I believe her

brother, when he spoke of her after her, you know, with other people, he called her Vance or

something like that. I think there were lots of ways, you know, with other people. He called her Vance or something like that. I think there were

lots of ways, you know, as there are in many parts of history, pronunciations, we don't really

know what they were. So it doesn't matter. Right, it doesn't. We all know who we're talking about,

right? It's V-A-U- Yeah. Say the X if you want to.

Go for it. Right. Most of history shows her as Joan Guilford,

Guilford, because that was her first husband.

Not many of our listeners are familiar with Joan,

but I know they're going to love her by the end of this.

So very quickly, before we get into the

listener questions, can you tell us who, who was she? Where did she come from? Where'd she grow up?
