Hello and welcome to Talking Tudors, a 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.

Before we dive into this week's episode, allow me a few moments to tell you about an online event

that I'm co-presenting with Dr. Owen Emerson. It's called Rethinking Anne Berlin and it's taking place

the week beginning 16th of March. We're so looking forward to sharing our latest research with you

and to challenging many of the prevailing narratives surrounding Anne. Excitingly, we're also shaking up

the format. All seven sessions will be presented live, so participants

will have ample opportunity to interact with us, engage with the content and ask any burning

questions. Of course, all sessions will also be recorded for anyone who can't make the live

discussions, and participants will have access to all the recordings for a full two months

after the event ends. We do hope you'll consider spending the week with us to rethink and story

and explore the harmful implications of looking into the past with an uncritical eye. For details,

please head to my website or just Google Rethinking Anne Berlin Eventbrite.

I'd also, of course, like to acknowledge and thank the generous listeners who continue to support

Talking Tudors on Patreon and extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who's taken the time to

rate and review the show. As an independent podcaster, this means a lot to me.
