## Resource

Well… here it is. What did you think about the show open this week? Let me know in the comments! This week, Matt Lewis and I turn our attention to Henry IV — and there is a lot to unpack. We discuss the death of Richard II, the conspiracy theories that claimed he survived, the visit of an emperor to England, the kidnapping of the Scottish king, and so much more! As always, the conversation takes plenty of unexpected turns along the way. And at the very end, I ask Matt to rank Henry IV on a scale of 1–10. You’ll want to stick around to hear his answer. -- Support the podcast on Patreon and get commercial-free episodes, early access, and exclusive content! https://patreon.com/tudorsdynasty -- Host: Rebecca Larson Guest: Matt Lewis
