It's time to talk tutors.

We started to go down this path, and I feel like I'm going to go down a rabbit hole here with you.

And feel free to pull me out if you need to.

The Tudor's Dynasty podcast with Rebecca Larson.

When people delve into the history of Henry VIII, the conversation often centers around his six wives and the consequences they faced as his consorts, particularly which ones met their untimely end.

However, today I am thrilled to be joined by Andy McMillan to shed light on a lesser known aspect of these six

Tudor queens. They're jointures. Furthermore, we'll challenge the notion that these women

simply wild away their days doing needlework and reading, when in reality there was a great deal

more to their lives than meets the eye. Andy, welcome.

Hello.

I am so excited to have you on the show today because we're covering a topic that I don't

think I've ever covered on this show before.

We're going to talk about, well, in general, maybe jointures, dowries, dowerlands, all of these fun things, aren't we?

Yes, we sure are.

So why don't you give listeners just a little bit of your background so that they know why I came to you on this subject?

Thank you again for having me on the show.

I am now a current M. Phil student with the University of Winchester. My

topic is basically I'm looking at the six Tudor Queens and their jointures and doures and their lands that

they have, which they held as Queens, concerts of Henry VIII, and how they changed over time.

My background before I went to Winchester, I was studying Margaret Evangu and Elizabeth Woodville.

I did a brief history of their household accounts, which also looked at their lands.

It wasn't as extensive as what I'm doing now.
