Hello and welcome to the Renaissance English History Podcast, a part of the Agora Podcast Network.

I am your host, Heather Tusko.

I'm a storyteller who makes history accessible because I believe it's a pathway to understanding who we are, our place in the universe, and being more deeply in touch with our own humanity.

I have completely lost track of what episode we're on. I don't know. Something close to 200. Who knows? I don't know. We're somewhere in the realms of space time, and it's just a journey, and we're just rolling with it.

But we are today talking about Richard De La Pohl, known as the White Rose, the last Yorkist claimant to actively and openly seek the English crown.

And actually, we're going to expand to the whole De La Pohl family and his brother Edmund as well.

It is a tale of ambition, royal intrigue, dogged persistence, played out on the backdrop of a

tumultuous period in European history.

Before we get started, though, your reminder about Tudor Khan, it's getting a little late to plan a trip to Pennsylvania in September, unless you are totally a last-minute person.

No judgment, I see you. I am too. But if you can't come in person, I want to remind you about the streaming ticket. You can come via the magic of the interwebs to all three days of learning entertainment.

And also, there are some very special surprises just for streaming folks,

including a digital goody bag, all kinds of other fun things.

it has been like ages and ages and ages since I've done a Patreon shout out. And I always remember it when I'm uploading the episode to Patreon. And I think I really got to do that the next time. And, you know, then I write the episode and I record it. It hits me again when I'm uploading it to Patreon. I think, oh, yeah, I got to do that. And then, you know, I go on and write the next episode and record it and then think, oh, yeah, I got to have a blah. So here we are. I have awesome patrons. I have like the most awesome patrons in the whole entire world. And I'm starting to do more episodes just for them. So I recently sent over a virtual tour of Tudor Oxford, and I have another episode planned

this week just for patrons so that library of patron-only episodes will continue to grow. So a big

special thanks and special tutor hugs go out to Leanne, Danny, Loretta, Michael, Richard, Terry, Teresa, actually, sorry, Kelly, Taylor, Heather, awesome name, Shamela.
