Summary
New Guest Expert! On this week’s Aftermath, Rebecca speaks with journalist and author Sarah Gristwood about Queen Mary I and her trailblazing legacy as England’s first Queen. While Mary’s legacy remains complicated, Sarah reminds us that the history books are often written by those who prevail which can shape the way we view the past. Afterward, Fact Checker Chris Smith and Producer Clayton Early stop by to see if the verdict still stands.
