Hey Kitty, time to eat your profits. Good kitty, look how fat you've gotten. That's the sound of some

workplace pension providers paying their shareholders instead of you. At people's pension,

we don't have shareholders to pamper. That's why over the last five years, we've given

£100 million back to our members instead.

Oh, you've broken the cat flap again.

People's pension. Now that's a pension with purpose.

Hi, I am your host, Heather.

And today we are going to talk about Valentine's related things because it is, in fact,

that time of year.

The hearts are out.

The candles are lit. The roses are out. All of it's happening. And we are going to

talk specifically about courtly love. So I'm going to be releasing on Friday an interview with Sarah

Gristwood who wrote The Tudors in Love and she talked about courtly love. And she did a patron talk, patron author chat.

We do once a month patrons and YouTube members. We have live Zoom chats with authors and historian.

highlights of that talk. But in this episode,

we're going to talk about courtly love and the legacy of Marie of Champagne, Marie de Champagne.

But I feel really Ponzi when I try and say Marie de Champagne because I really can't do a good

French accent. So I'm not even going to try. and I'm just going to say Marie of Champagne.

And if that drives you nuts, I apologize in advance.
