Hello, friend and welcome to the Renaissance English History Podcast, a part of the Agora Podcast Network, and the original Tudor History podcast podcast telling stories of Tudor England since 2009.

I am your host, Heather.

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 263, I believe, and it is about Elizabeth Stewart, known to history as

the Winter Queen. So she was the daughter of James the 6th of Scotland. We just celebrated,

celebrated marked, I suppose, November 5th, the gunpowder plot. I've done

episodes on that. And of course, she was very much caught up in the gunpowder plot, which we

will discuss. Just a quick reminder for patrons who are listening to this, thank you patrons,

be sure to check the Patreon feed.

There's a new minicath up that explores modern feelings and conceptions that we got from the

tutors, things like privacy, celebrity culture, a whole couple, not a whole bunch. I was going to say a whole

bunch, several things we dive into.

So that's for patrons and YouTube members. And also the minicast this month was on Lady Jane Gray and the

succession crisis. So there's about, I don't know, I think it's about two hours worth of content

there. So check your feed. If you are not already a patron or a member, you can

join for as little as a dollar an episode at patreon.com slash Englandcast. That's patreon.com

All right, my friends, let's get started. Elizabeth Stewart is known to history as the Winter

Queen, as I said. She was born into a lineage, steeped in ambition, and tragedy. She was the

daughter of James VI of Scotland, who would become James I of England.
