Welcome to the History Chicks, where Annie resemblance to a boring old history lesson is purely coincidental.

Welcome to the show!

This is our teeny-tidy, tudor tutorial, which we are affectionately calling quadruple tea.

It's a lot easier. You know what? The number of times we've practice saying that?

I think worked, because we have a tongue twisted.

I am not once. That's good.

This podcast, of course, be, be history chicks, is usually all about the ladies, the chicks.

But in this case, with this tudor dynasty, I think without the roosters, it's going to make no sense.

We need a little rooster talk, and so this is it. It's not a trend, but once in a while we're going to need to talk about the men,

because they just add a little more color to the lives of the women, and they explain things.

So, as usual, you know how we are about everybody having the same name.

And this era is worse than any era we have ever encountered in our entire lives, and we've proved it's not just our imagination.

No, it's not. During this time period, the top 10 female names accounted for 74% of the people.

74% of the people were named 10 names.

So, you know, you've got your Elizabeth, Margaret Mary Ann, etc. We'll post the list on the website.

Absolutely. And then we're even worse.

Oh, and then we have the head and we see Edwards, the George's, the Richards.

But top 10 names 82% use those 10 names over and over and over again.

I think they just did it to confuse us down the line.

So, good luck for us. It's actually going down to 25% in Britain for the top 10 now.

Different names, of course, but the fact that it's confusing will not be a surprise to you.

No, but we'll try to make this tutor era. The tutor dynasty is simplified as possible.
