Hello, I'm Lucy Worsley, chief curator at Historic Royal Palaces.

You're listening to our podcast that explores the history and stories of our six palaces.

These talks are a collection of some of our best live events.

I really hope you enjoy listening.

In this talk, we hear from art historian Michael O'Hajuru and historian Miranda Kaufman,

who talk about their research into Black Tudors living in England during the 16th century.

John Boycott, at the heart of my project, is the imagination.

The sap one is Imagine the Black Tudor trumpeter.

I stole that from the Hay Festival.

Isn't you think of the Hay Festival?

Hey Festival?

Imagine the World.

This is Imagine the Black Tudor Trumpeter.

And it's a, it's three parts to it.

And I talk about art, archives action.

It's making history real, bringing it to life, to it and it's a talk about art archives action it's making history real

bringing it to life making it uh contemporary let me take the background to it it comes from

this this is a film that that was discussed a couple years ago on BBC talking about how you present history and the producer of the film

Elizabeth said a black presence in Tudor England would be inaccurate and

inauthentic on the same point they discussed this this atonement by Joe Rafe, the book by Ian McGregor.

You know, Ian McGregor.
