The Tudors Dynasty podcast. Hello and welcome back to the Tudors Dynasty podcast. I'm your host, Rebecca Larson. Well, it's March. It's

Women's History Month. And recently, I have been reminded that it was not only men who were artists

at Tudor Court, that there were also some very talented women as well. So with that in mind,

I invited back my dear friend, Melanie Taylor, to discuss two female artists at Tudor Court,

Susanna Hornboot and Levina Tierlink. Mel, welcome back. It's a privilege to be with you again, Rebecca. This is great.

I love talking art with you because if your first time listener to the show, Melanie is an art

historian. So she has extensive background in artists and pieces of art. And I thought, who better than Melanie to discuss

these women? So, Mel, before we even get started today, let's talk a little bit about

these two women and what is it about them that has fascinated you so much?

Basically, because they're very little known about them.

I love puzzles.

And, you know, up until fairly recently, and with women coming more powerful and doing

politics and heading up companies, suddenly women in history are beginning to be looked at

and they're emerging from the shadows. So it's great. I'm glad. We've talked about this on the show

before about how much I'd like to bring these women out of the shadows of history to discuss them with everybody.

Let's talk a little bit about where they came from.

Can we do that?

And I'll let you start with whichever one you'd prefer to start with.

But where did these women come from?

Were they English subjects?
