Hello and welcome to the Renaissance English History podcast, a part of the Agora

podcast network. I'm your host, Heather Tusco, and I'm a storyteller

who makes history accessible because I believe it's a pathway to understanding who we are,

So October 1st through 3rd, Lancaster, Pennsylvania, three days of Tudor insanity and great fun

will be had by all. So I want to tell you a folk tale now. There was a king.

He had three beautiful daughters, and he asks them each how much they love their father.

The eldest says, I love you as bright as the sunshine. The second daughter says, I love you as wide as the ocean. The youngest one says, I love you as bright as the sunshine. The second daughter says, I love you as wide as the ocean.

The youngest one says, I love you as much as water and salt. And the father was like, that's a weird

reply. And because this is a folktale and folk tales are weird, he sentenced her to death.

Because why not? Right? So her two sisters,

because they would like to save her, because they love her, they gave a small dog and one of the
