To celebrate the publication of Heather R. Darsie’s excellent new book, ‘Katharine of Aragon, Spanish Princess - I am not as simple as I seem’, I sat down with her to discuss all things Katharine, the Tudors, the craft of writing history and much more.
I am sorry I wasn’t able to participate live. Heather’s research really changed the narrative on Anna’s marriage and its dissolution. And the revelation that a lot of what we take of gospel “I like her not” comes from Cromwell’s mercy letter written in the tower. Seeing the German side of the story and the major political repercussions as Heather mentions of Anna’s brother’s clashes with Emperor. Charles changes the narrative. I find it frustrating to see well known English Tudor historians still clinging to the old narrative
Mothering Sunday dates back to 8th century when Christians re-visit their Mother Church ( the one they were Baptised in ) . It is held on 4th Sunday in Lent and lead to squabbles and fighting with rival groups as people would visit in procession with banners to their church or cathedral.
Can't watch live most of the time because I'm in the U.S., so usually watch afterward. Fabulous convo as usual. Thank you both so much for feeding my medieval history addiction!
Thank you, love that this is recorded, I had to drop off about 15 mins before you had finished, was really enjoying it so was disappointed to miss some
Guten tag! I took German in high school too! mid-1980s in Western Colorado!

Thank you!
Thank you for the great discussion! Heather is just brilliant, and so are you of course. Two of my favorite public historians!
