0:00.0	As the daughter of one of the most influential families of the period, Ambulin played a role in both the rise and fall of Thomas Cromwell, while his part in the execution of Queen Anne Bolein still resonates in the imaginations of many down through the centuries.
0:15.8	In this episode, Dr. Lauren Mackay will explore Mantell's view of the early stages of this dangerous relationship.
0:23.0	The Tudor's Dynasty podcast. Hello, everyone. Thanks for joining this podcast today. I'm David Holland,
0:30.7	and I'm the founder and organizer of an event that's taking place in England, in the County of Devon,
0:36.9	at a place called Cadet House, a Tudor Mansion,
0:40.7	and it's called The Wolf Hall Weekend. This podcast is one of the series that we're running
0:45.9	on the subject of Hillary Mantell's Wolf Hall Trilogy. And I'm thrilled today to be joined by Dr. Lauren McKay. Hello, Lauren.
0:57.1	Hello. Thank you for having me here. And at the weekend. Yeah. Frild too that you're going to be

1:55.8	starlet, Tudor history. Why not talk about Anne Boleyn? So how many Ambelins are there, according to various historians?
2:05.4	You know, several hundred I would have thought.
2:08.7	In your book, for those who have not familiar with Dr. Lauren, McKay, who has actually been on this podcast, before,
2:16.8	Lauren, you're the author of the Wolf Hall Companion, which is the only companion that I'm
2:22.3	aware of anyway, about Hillary's series where you try and help the reader and the fan of the series
