| 0:09.5 | So welcome to this episode of Tudors Dynasty's series on Mary the First, England's first crowned |
| 0:16.1 | Queen Regnant, hosted by me, Johan the Strong. I am finishing up my PhD at the University of Winchester about Mary's legacy, and this |
| 0:24.0 | week I'm joined on the podcast by Peter Stafel. |
| 0:27.8 | Peter is a PhD student at the University of Kent, researching contemporary Marian |
| 0:32.4 | portraiture and imagery. |
| 0:34.3 | He'll be familiar to Tudor's dynasty's fans after his blog post, Queen and Mother Mary |
