Hey friends, welcome to the Renaissance English History podcast.

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

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. Let's start with something that

sounds almost too dramatic to be true. A ship sets sail packed with nobles drinking heavily,

confident in their power. Then just offshore, really close, it hits a rock.

And nearly everybody on board drowns, including the only legitimate son of the king of England.

That was the white ship, and while it sank in 1120, well before our Tudor dynasty,

its impact reached all the way to Henry VIII's throne room,

because when ships go down, they

don't just take sailors with them. Sometimes they take the future. It was really poetic, wasn't

it? Anyway, in this video, we are looking at shipwrecks that shaped medieval and Tudor history,

from Royal Ayers who never made it home to the warships buried in English rivers that tell us

how Tudor Naval Power really worked.

Some are famous, some are nearly forgotten. Each one left its mark on history, even if you have

to dig and sift and swim and dig through silt to find it.
