Hello and welcome to Talking Tudors, a fortnightly podcast about the ever fascinating Tudor dynasty.

My name is Natalie Gruniger, and I'll be your host and guide on this journey through 16th century England.

Are you ready to step through the veil of time into the dazzling and dangerous world of the Tudor Court?

Without further ado, it's time to talk Tudors. Hello everyone, welcome back to another episode of Talking Tudors.

I'm your host, Natalie Gruniga.

Thank you so much for joining me today.

A few words about today's sponsor before we begin.

This episode is brought to you by Julia Harrington, an up-and-coming

author whose debut novel reimagines the Henriian court on the cusp of its most volatile and seductive

years, told entirely through a bold, feminine lens. Blending historical fiction and romance,

Harrington's novel reclaims the voice of one of history's most

infamous female figures, navigating the perils of love, power and self-determination,

before the world turns her into legend. For readers who crave immersive historical fiction

that brings the past to life through the eyes of the women who lived it, this story offers a fresh

take on Tudor history, not just in subject but in sensibility, driven by an original

voice and nuanced execution. Julia is currently building a vibrant community of Tudor

history enthusiasts, sharing behind-the-scenes research, early material and reflections on power,

legacy and womanhood as she seeks literary representation. Join the court at Julia
