Hello and welcome to the Renaissance English History Podcast, a part of the Agora Podcast Network.

I'm your host Heather Tuscoe, 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 being more deeply in touch with our own humanity. This is episode 123 on Hans Holbein

and his art. I still want to remind you about TudorCon, which is coming up in about four and a

half months, five months, October 2019, the world's first ever TudorCon.

We're going to gather at a newly restored winery adjacent to the Pennsylvania Renaissance

Fair in Mannheim, Pennsylvania. And we're going to have three days of merriment,

learning, feasting, and entertainment. The weekend is going to kick off on Friday the 18th

with a welcoming party with refreshments,

period entertainment, dancing, and games.

Costumes are definitely encouraged.

On Saturday, we're going to have a full day of learning from some of the leading speakers.

You can see the list of speakers as it's getting finalized now on the website.

On Sunday morning, we're going to reconvene for a morning of talks,

followed by a medieval feast on the feasting grounds of the Renaissance Fair with private

entertainment and then time to spend at the fair before calling it a weekend. So we're going to

meet lots of new friends, other people who are tutor history enthusiasts, just like us. We're

going to learn together. We're going to

meet people from all over the country and even the world and have this wonderful weekend of new

friendships and social learning and bonding over our shared love of tutor history. And we're also

going to meet some of our favorite bloggers and authors and podcasters. You can see the complete list of the speakers at Englandcast.com
