Hey, hey, hey, friend, and welcome back to the Renaissance English History podcast, a part of the Agora Podcast Network.

And the original Tudor History podcast. We just celebrated 15 years

of tutor storytelling. I am your host, Heather Tesco. 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 253, I believe, and it is on Marguerite of Navarre, who, of course, is a

remarkable figure of the French Renaissance, who also had a very big impact on the Reformation

and on Anne Boleyn. So we are going to expand our horizons a little bit. I know it's the

Renaissance English History podcast, and you might think, well, why are you talking about someone

who's French? But of course, it's all linked together and Marguerite of Navarre was a very influential

woman in both England and France and the rest of Europe. So we will talk about her. First, though,

I want to give a shout out to two new patrons Ruthie and Richard hello

and welcome Ruthie and Richard also Lynn's welcome to the YouTube channel as well
