I had a great time chatting with Jonathan Healey about the 17th century. Rather than the political classes, which usually get the attention when talking about the upheavals of the 17th century, we talked about the what was happening to the people of England and in turn what influence they had on events.
I would thoroughly recommend Jonathan's book 'The Blazing World. A New History of Revolutionary England' available from Blackwells.com and shipped worldwide and other good bookshops.

In this episode of 'British History Live' Philippa looks at the events of 29th January 1536. As Katherine of Aragon was laid to rest as Dowager Princess of Wales at Peterborough Cathedral, Anne Boleyn miscarried. Philippa explores Katherine's banishment, death, funeral and how, just as Anne thought her position was at its strongest and most secure, it all began to fall apart.

Philippa is back, at a new time, for The British History Live Show, a live show discussing history stories and history in the news, every 2 weeks at 6:30pm UK time.
This week sees the anniversaries of the coronation of England's Danish King Canute, the death of Edward the Confessor and the coronation of Harold Godwinson. Philippa discusses how Canute came to power in the beginning, how he elevated Earl Godwin to a point that saw his son as the natural successor to Edward the Confessor and who came in between. Also, âwho was the real Uhtred?â plus new features: history in the news, history events and what abomination AI created for Philippa this week!

I am on the road today (check out my Instagram to see what I am up to @british_history_tours) but I have pre-recorded a special episode of Tea Time History Chat Live. Special guest, Amanda Glover joined me to talk about her groundbreaking research into the letter supposedly written by Anne Boleyn, to her husband Henry VIII, 4 days into her incarceration at the Tower of London and 13 days before her execution. Historians have long debated the letterâs authenticity and whether Anne did actually write the letter. Amandaâs research adds more clues to this long debated mystery.

INTERVIEW WITH PROF ALICE HUNT In the run up to the release of her new book 'Republic. Britain's Revolutionary Decade 1649 - 1660' Professor Alice Hunt joined me for a fascinating interview about this country's only time without a monarch. Was it a 'blip', as the restored monarchy were keen to characterise it, or was there a good chance that the monarchy in Britain may never have been restored? We discussed the infighting, the lack of democracy of the new regime and the quick unravelling which led to Charles Stuart being invited back to restore the monarchy. Watch on Youtube:

I actually have two special places for you today!
Hever Castle
Hever Castle, the childhood home of Anne Boleyn has always been a special place to visit, not least because you are moving around the space that she and her family once lived. With a new permanent exhibition at the Castle it is now easy to feel like you have travelled back in time and to the house of Thomas and Elizabeth Boleyn and their children Mary, Anne and George. I went to visit the castle recently and am very grateful to Assistant Curator Kate McCaffrey for showing me around the new rooms and giving me a fascinating insight into the research that went into the exhibition and also what the curatorial team's research has revealed about how the rooms were used and what happened here during Anne's time. You can hear mine and Kate's chat, as we walk around the rooms, on this channel, it will be released in August.

BONUS - West Horsley Place.
I also visited West Horsley Place, in Surrey, this week. Unsure of what I was to find, I didn't initially include it in the title and thumbnail for this episode but WOW that a fascinating and historically significant place it turned out to be! Owned twice by Henry VIII, who made alterations and additions to the property showing that he must have used it with some frequency, but also the venue for a dinner for him when his cousin, Henry Courtney, lived there - a dinner for which the menu survives!! That is just the beginning, join me as I reveal to you some of the history which I myself have only just learned this week, thank to the generous staff at West Horsley Place with a special mention to Clare Clinton. To donate to the conservation of West Horsley Place please go to: https://www.westhorsleyplace.org/donate/donate/5/credit-card .

Arthur Tudor was the brother who died and left the way clear for his younger brother to become Henry VIII. Benjamin Streeter, whoâs book âArthur Prince of Wales, Henry VIIIâs Lost Brotherâ tells the story of Arthurâs life and early death, joined me to talk about what kind of person Arthur was, what his life was like and, of course, did he and Katherine of Aragon consummate their marriage.
