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

and the very first and longest running Tudor History podcast

turning 15 years old this year. I am your host, Heather, 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 much more deeply in touch with our own humanity.

This is episode 223. It is on Margaret Roper, who is remembered as Thomas Moore's daughter, but is so very much more.

Two reminders before we get started. Number one, thank you to the patrons and members who keep

this podcast and channel going and growing.

Members get extra episodes, discounts at my merch shop, and more.

This week, they're getting a live author chat with Brigita Webster, author of Eating with the Tudors,

as well as depending on what level they're at, an hour-long intro course, audio course,

to the Wars of the Roses, which will also be available for everybody to buy, but members and

patrons at that certain level will get it for free. And they will continue to get one course a

month for free as well well because I love making courses

and I love sharing them and it's a fun added bonus to entice people to sign up at a higher level

so there we go just go to patreon.com slash Englandcast or if you are listening to this on

YouTube you can just hit the join now button.

Second, TudorCon, September 20th to 22nd at Agecroft Hall.

We have some of the confirmed speakers up on the website already.

And you can get your ticket with the Early Bird discount.

And friend, I only have 37 tickets left as I write this, 37 tickets.

So if you know you want to come to Richmond to Hcroft Hall this autumn, September 20th to 22nd,
