0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the Renaissance English History Podcast. I'm your host, Heather Tesco, and I'm a storyteller who makes history accessible because I believe it's a pathway to understanding who we are, our place in the universe, and
0:22.2	being in touch with our own humanity. This is episode 61, and it's a special episode for Hannah.
0:29.1	She is one of this podcast's most loyal listeners, and she leaves really lovely comments
0:35.1	on my Tudor Minute YouTube segments, and she requested that I tell the story of Anne of Cleves.
0:40.8	So Hannah, this is for you.
0:43.2	Thank you for being so awesome.
0:45.3	Before I get started though, just a couple of reminders.
0:48.8	First, please check out the Agora Podcast Network, of which this podcast is a proud member. The

1:28.2	day, a window opens up to some kind of Tudor holiday goodness. There's a recipe for was sale or a
1:35.3	Christmas playlist or decoration ideas. And everybody on the mailing list gets it. And I'll be
1:41.3	sending it out at the end of November, so just make sure you're signed up
1:44.6	on the mailing list. If you sign up after December 1st, no big deal, you'll still get it, but sign up
1:50.1	ASAP so you can start right away on the 1st of December. Second, the Tudor planner is selling
1:55.8	really well, and I'm only printing 500 copies, and they're going quick. So be sure to order yours if you want to spend
2:02.3	2017 planning with the Tudors. You can check that out on the website. And finally, remember that
