Edward Four Five...Dick The Bad, Harry's Twain and Ned The Lad, Mary....... Welcome to our first official Queen as Charlie Higson uncovers the life of Mary I , who, as we saw last episode, quickly saw off Lady Jane Grey before equally quickly seeing off the protestant reformation......for a while at least. But was she really that 'bloody'? To help Charlie find out is his 'proper historian', Alexander Samson , author of Mary & Philip - The Marriage Of Tudor England & Hapsburg Spain Also don't forget that Charlie's book of this podcast, Willie Willie Harry Stee is out now, with illustrations by Jim Moir , or Vic Reeves as you may know him. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Willie-Harry-Stee-brand-new-hilarious/dp/0008741050 Hosted on Acast.
