0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the Renaissance English History Podcast, a part of the Agora Podcast Network.
0:15.8	I am your host, Heather Tusko, and I'm a storyteller who makes history accessible because I believe it's a pathway
0:22.2	to understanding who we are, our place in the universe, and being more deeply in touch with our
0:27.7	own humanity. So it is summer when people tend to want to get away on vacation, maybe a holiday
0:34.8	at the beach or a road trip to a national park. Henry the 8th, same. He wanted to get out of
0:42.2	London and get away from it all, often because there was plague in the city, but sometimes he just
0:48.9	wanted to go around and see his country and tour his country and have his people see him. So in 1541, he took his
0:57.3	lovely bride, Catherine Howard, and got far away, farther than any progress in the previous 50 years,
1:04.2	in fact, and he went to York. Before we get started, though, your reminder about TudorCon, it's getting closer. So I'm going to
1:15.0	cut off ticket sales for in-person tickets on August 8th, which is a month before him. So if you want to
1:22.7	come in person, you don't have that much longer, a couple weeks. And then, of course, streaming tickets will be
1:29.5	available. There's no limit on that. So you can get your streaming ticket whenever. So TudorCon,
