Hooray!  It's an accountant.  No, don't go away!
Our 100th episode! We made it here?Now on to the Diabolical Duchess!
Now a widow with an unpaid dowry leaving her no right to an income and with a female heir to Burgundy. Can she keep everything together? And what if her brother decides to marry her off to someone else?
She is a bauble at court and meant to only breed and look pretty. So how does she end up being able to pull so many strings that other monarchs fear her?
Life begins for the Diabolical Duchess! The woman who terrified and angered the kings of both England and France! 
Being regent of Scotland was just a small part of his life.  There was so much more.
The Tudors loved stories about people being made to look fools.  Here are two of them.
As promised in Charles VIII's episodes, the bizarre tale of the would-be sultan who lived in the Vatican.
Is Charles the luckiest man in the world, or the unluckiest?!  It is very hard to tell.
Now that he has taken the plunge, will he make it down to Naples, and, if he does, will he make it back again? And why is everyone ganging up on him?  What?  What have I done?
'A young and licentious hunchback of doubtful sanity'. What's not to love?
This French, Italian, Scottish or Turkish doctor, alchemist, abbot or aviator either did something.....or he didn't.
Our attempt at a Valentine's Day Special. How the Church viewed sex before the Reformation.  Sorry.  It's not very romantic.  We did our best, but it's not a very romantic era.
Denys' career path is very different from one we might follow these days.  Groom of the Stool and much, much more
Brace yourselves for this one and just be thankful you live in the 21st century!
A man who turns out to be a lot more famous than we realised when we recorded the Margaret Tudor episode.  A man of hidden depths!
A taster of what is on offer in our Patreon episodes.  Caterina Sforza, Anne of Brittany, Machiavelli, the Pazzi Conspiracy and Moctezuma.  Enjoy.https://www.patreon.com/Tudoriferous
A merry Christmas to all our listeners and we can only apologise for this episode!
The men in her life keep letting Margaret down.  Will her son be any different?  We'll see.
Poor Margaret.  James didn't want her, Husband Number Two didn't want her.  We see her go from a frivolous, spoilt, young princess to a mother fighting to keep her son.  An epic story.
Mercenary captain.  A scary, drunken, jewel-encrusted man..... And he has his own song!
We look at chivalry mediaeval-style - before it became sanitised and ritualistic - through the pages of Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur.  It was not at all the book we were expecting!
A protégé of Margaret Beaufort, a man of many talents, but the highlight of his life was three glorious days spent in Hertfordshire.
For Hallowe'en this year we present for your delectation a story of bishops behaving badly ..... very badly!There are a couple of moments in this episode when you might want to stick your fingers in your ears, but we do warn you in advance.
553 years and a day Sir John Tiptoft was executed.  Why?Warning: this episode includes some discussion on the best way to impale people.Ah, we might have just given away why he was executed!
