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 Event Bright.

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.
