We chat about why Fred felt called to tell Tom’s story, the real Tudor figures who make appearances (yes, including Lady Jane Grey!), and how a scientist-turned-author...

There were two Elizabeth Brookes at the Tudor court—and they’ve been confusing historians ever since. One was the estranged wife of the poet Thomas Wyatt, accused of adultery and rumored to have caught Henry VIII’s attention. The other was her niece, the Marchioness of Northampton, who was nearly queen-like under Edward VI, fell from favor under Mary I, and became one of Elizabeth I’s closest courtiers. In this episode, we untangle their stories, clear up the confusion, and explore how two women...

She wasn’t a queen. She wasn’t even regent in name. But for nearly a decade, Anne de Beaujeu was the real power behind the French throne. The daughter of Louis XI, Anne guided her younger brother Charles VIII through a turbulent minority, outmaneuvered rebellious nobles, helped bring Brittany into the French crown—and laid the groundwork for France’s centralization. Along the way, she built a vast personal empire, wrote a survival manual for her daughter, and earned a reputation as “the least fo...
