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

podcast network and the original Tudor History podcast telling stories of

Tudor England since 2009. 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 more deeply in touch with our own humanity.

So in this episode, we are going to talk about the relationship between Elizabeth I

first and Mary the first, two sisters who were born in enmity, I suppose, because of their mothers, hating each other,

and are often portrayed as being very much at odds, and they were very much at odds,

but there was also a deep love there between them, which doesn't often get portrayed or shown much. So we're going to talk about that.

But first, your regular reminder that Tudor Khan is coming up in just about two months,

which is amazing. So I'm going to be starting to talk more about that,

sharing more about speakers and special offers for streaming tickets, because of course, we are sold out for the in-person tickets.

But you can still come through the magic of the internet.

Thanks to the streaming ticket, which is going to be so much fun, it's not just being in a Zoom room watching.

We have extra events just for streamers. There's a whole community

where you can interact with other people, make new friends, really be part of this community of

people who are obsessed with Tudor history just as much as you are. Plus, you get to see everything

live. If you can't make it live, everything's recorded. So it's going to be a lot of fun.
