Summary
Thomas, the diplomat and the Siege of Pest is a new concept for me. I don't often speak of anything diplomatic or military, because it used to bore me. I was more interested in the relationships and the drama. Little did I know that the research for this podcast would change my mind all together. That by understanding an important piece of Thomas Seymour's history I understand him all the more. The battles, sieges and wars were a large part of Tudor lives and to neglect them is to do an injustice. So, here I go...stepping outside the box and producing a new sounding podcast about a subject I knew little of before choosing it as a topic.
If, as recommended in the podcast, you'd like to follow along on Google Maps (or wherever you prefer), here are a list of cities mentioned:
Enjoy this podcast and hope to see you next time! -Rebecca

| 0:16.3 | For those who are new to my podcast, I usually take a minute at the beginning of every episode |

| 0:24.8 | This week, I'm going to do things a bit differently. |
| 0:28.2 | But first, I have to acknowledge my new patron, Jennifer V. |
| 0:32.4 | Thank you, Jennifer, for joining this group of amazing friends. |

| 0:47.0 | During my continual research of Thomas Seymour, |
| 0:49.7 | I have come across many letters that he wrote during diplomatic missions. |
| 0:54.0 | I will be honest, when I first found these letters, I glanced at them and my eyes instantly |
| 0:59.2 | glazed over. |
| 1:00.9 | Most of these letters contained what I considered a bunch of military jargon that made |
| 1:05.4 | little sense to me. |
| 1:07.8 | It wasn't until very recently that I decided to look at the letters again to help me truly |
| 1:12.8 | understand who Thomas Seymour was. He wasn't just the fourth son of John and Marjorie Wentworth, |
| 1:19.4 | or the brother of Queen Jane and Edward Seymour. He was a soldier, a man of the sea, |
