This month sees the launch of a special celebration of the life of Mary, Queen of Scots, here, on The Tudor Travel Show. Throughout September, I will be publishing one episode a week, as I follow 'In the Footsteps' of this legendary Scottish queen, visiting some of the most historic locations associated with her time in Scotland. Along the way, I will be meeting up with local guides, (many are members of the Marie Stuart Society), who will share their knowledge and passion for Mary and her story.

 

In this week's episode, I travel back to Scotland's capital city, Edinburgh. In the first half of the episode, I visit the castle with our guide for today, Donal Ferrie. Join me as we get a private viewing of Mary's bed chamber and the closet in which she gave birth to her son, James. To see more images of the castle, join my private FB group, which accompanies this podcast, The Tudor Travel Show: Hitting the Road.

 

In the second half of the show, I am granted a private audience with Marie Stuart herself. As a friendly English Ambassador, I put some challenging questions to the Scots queen. Tune in to hear her reflections on the dramatic events crashing through her life. It turned out to be an 'interesting' conversation!

Carol is the author of 'Mistress Cromwell', a novel which explores Cromwell's early years through the eyes of his wife, Elizabeth.

She brings her knowledge of the man and the events that shaped him - and others whose lives he touched - into this lively discussion which covers Cromwell's origins in Putney through to his downfall at the hands of his enemies in 1540. Was he just a brutish thug or a sophisticated courtier of the day - you decide! If you'd like to know more about Carol and her books, follow this link to her website.

There is a blog which compliments this podcast, exploring in more detail Cromwell's London home at Austin Friars. If you wish to read this blog and see what the Cromwell's city-house looked like, follow this link.

In this month's episode, we revisit Collyweston, the Midlands home of Margaret Beaufort, to hear from Rachel Delman, Lecturer in History at York University, about how the palace appeared and was used by Margaret in its hey-day. There is an abbreviated transcript of this chat available on the blog.

 

In the second half of the episode, Sarah chats with Alden Gregory, Curator of Historic Buildings at Historic Royal Palaces about what turns out to be a fascinating subject: Tudor tents! Alden has been involved in the recreation of part of a royal, Tudor tent, due to be included in the 'Gold and Glory' exhibition at Hampton Court to celebrate the 500th anniversary of the Field of Cloth of Gold. Learn about these mini-palaces and how they were used by the Tudor court.

(Please note that this was recorded just as lockdown was getting underway in the UK and so the exhibition has had to be delayed until a later - hopefully!)

  

Finally, The Tudor Travel Guide news desk returns with all the latest April news from the sixteenth-century. On this occasion, our roving reporter is live at Greenwich Palace, where Anne Boleyn has just been presented as queen on East Eve, 12 April 1533.…

If you wish to read an earlier blog I wrote about Kenilworth Castle, back in March 2018, you can do so here.

 

In the second half of the podcast, Sarah is once again in discussion with Professor Susan Doran, from the University of Oxford, about a pair of portraits which historians believe were commissioned by Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, in anticipation of the historic visit of Elizabeth I in 1575. But why exactly were the portraits commissioned and why is it probable that Elizabeth never saw them? (Note: The blog article accompanying this conversation, including images, can be found here). 

 

Finally,  The Tudor Travel Guide news desk returns, with all the latest August news from the 16th century.

Once a place of enormous power and prestige, with close links to the Crown, today its treasures are preserved in the Museum of the Order of St John. With museum director, Tom Foakes, as our guide, we explore the history of the Order of St John, the story of the priory, and reimagine just what this magnificent building looked like in its hey-day, prior to its dissolution by King Henry VIII in 1540.

You will also hear about how you can enjoy the delights of this, one of London's hidden Tudor treasures, including (for summer 2019) a special guided tour by Henry VIII himself.

In part one, we tour the castle with Volunteer Co-ordinator, Gus Nasser, reimagining the castle at the height of its glory during Elizabeth I's three-week visit in 1575. Part two follows next month. If you wish to read an earlier blog I wrote about Kenilworth Castle, back in March 2018, you can do so here.

 

In the second half of the podcast, Sarah is in discussion with Professor Susan Doran, from the University of Oxford, about an artefact which has long been the cause of much speculation: the Chequers' Ring, a very personal item of jewellery once belonging to  Queen Elizabeth I. Just what is its story, and who is the mystery woman whose miniature is shown alongside Elizabeth's in the locket? Professor Doran is an expert in all things Elizabeth and her court, and back in the early 2000s co-curated an exhibition in which the ring made a rare public appearance. We hear just what she has to say about this enigmatic object. (Note: The blog article accompanying this conversation, including images, can be found here). 

 

Finally,  The Tudor Travel Guide news desk returns, with all the latest July news from the 16th century. This time we report on the dramatic events surrounding the succession crisis of July 1553, and how Princess Mary, claimant to the throne, evaded capture by the narrowest of margins.

In our lead interview, we travel to Collyweston in Northamptonshire to hear from Chris Close, President of The Collyweston Historical and Preservation Society about a new archaeological dig which got underway in May. This is aimed at uncovering more of the story of the now lost palace, once an important Tudor power-house belonging to Lady Margaret Beaufort. The blog article accompanying this conversation (containing images, extra notes and a bonus interview with Sandra Johnson, researcher for the society, can be found here. Details of a special 'Palace Weekend', coming up in August, can also be found in the blog article.)

 

In the second half of the podcast, Sarah heads off Sudeley Castle, in Gloucestershire, to get all the latest, exciting news from DigVentures, who were just completing the final day of a two week dig in search of a lost Elizabethan banqueting house and garden. Tune in to hear exactly what has been found, and the thrilling plans afoot for next year. If you missed getting involved this year, you won't want to miss this update.

 

Whilst at Sudeley, Sarah also catches up with Melita Thomas, from the Tudor Times about their latest book release - The Tudor Book of the Garden, which you can purchase here. (Apologies for some minor recording interference during this interview)

 

Finally,  The Tudor Travel Guide news desk returns, with all the latest June news from the 16th century. This time get ready to time travel to Westminster Abbey to witness Anne Boleyn as she is crowned Queen of England.

Recently surfaced from private ownership, this hitherto largely unseen portrait is hauntingly beautiful, and shows a deeply contemplative, very human Elizabeth, (before the mask of Gloriana was contrived to elevate her status to that of the untouchable 'Virgin Queen'). We explore the provenance of the painting and just what this has to tell us about this iconic monarch. The blog article accompanying this conversation (containing notes and an image of the picture in question) can be found here.
