This is the Tudors Dynasty podcast.

And now, Rebecca Larson.

Welcome.

I'm Rebecca Larson, host of the show.

And today I have a very special episode for all of you, Queen Elizabeth, the first

fans out there.

I had the privilege to speak with historian Dr. Estelle Perel on the subject.

By the way, her favorite subject. And we discussed everything from Elizabeth's relationship with

Robert Dudley, her similarities to Anne Boleyn. And yes, I even found a way to discuss Thomas Seymour.

Because let's be honest, you can't talk about Elizabeth's early years without

discussing Thomas. But before we get started, I'd like to thank my newest patron, Lori H. Thank you

so much for your support, Lori, and thanks to all of you, existing patrons, and to the past patrons as

well. If you'd like to become a patron, you can do so by going to Patreon.

This month, I'm giving away two books,

following in the footsteps of the princes in the tower, and Mary Queen of Scots' downfall,

the life and murder of Henry Lord Darnley. I'm also giving away in this package an adorable

little paper model of Tower Bridge that you get to put together. If you enjoy the Tudor's Dynasty podcast, please subscribe or follow wherever you listen to my
