Summary

What does bad behavior really look like in Tudor England? In this episode, we take a sharp look at the men who pushed ambition, ego, and survival just a little too far. Charles Brandon turns marriage into strategy, Thomas Seymour spirals after the death of Henry VIII, and John Dudley plays the game for his own gain. Add in Francis Bryan—who needed papal absolution—and Edmund Howard with his questionable “medicine,” and you’ve got a lineup of men making very bad decisions. Messy, calculated, and peak Tudor chaos. 👑 -- Support our work over on Patreon! https://patreon.com/tudorsdynasty -- Hosts: Rebecca Larson & Amy McElroy
