Hey friends, welcome to the Renaissance English History podcast.

This is the weekly highlight reel of videos that I have put out on YouTube.

So in case you don't know, you can go over to YouTube and watch all my videos.

The channel is History and Coffee, And you can just search for my name as well, Heather Tesco, History and Coffee.

And you will get it. And you can subscribe there. Thank you to the many people who already subscribe.

And then what I've started doing is weekly highlight reels of some of the videos that have gone out on YouTube that would be of interest to the podcast listeners as well.

So thanks for listening.

And you can also, like I said, go over and join me on YouTube history and copy and search for Heather.

And there I am.

So let's get right into it. I'm going to start talking more

about the many, many great and great grandchildren of Henry the 7th, cousins to Henry VIII and

his line, who were often involved in political intrigue like the Grey Sisters, but many of them

went about living quiet lives and doing their very

best to keep away from drama. And one of them is Ferdinando Stanley. So I first read about

Ferdinando Stanley recently in a book about Alice Spencer. I will be doing an entire podcast episode on

Alice in the next couple of weeks,

so stay tuned for that. But I realized that I had read his name without even knowing it,

because he was the famous Lord Strang who funded the company of players in the 1580s and

1590s. So anytime you read about Shakespeare, you read about Lord Strang.

It looks like it needs to be pronounced Lord Strange,

but everything I read tells me to pronounce it Lord Strang,

so I'm doing that, and I've heard it pronounce Lord Strang in videos.
