Dr Jonathan Foyle is an architectural and art historian, author and presenter. In 2012, Jonathan was contacted by Ian Coulson, an Antiques Dealer specialising in beds, who was seeking assistance in identifying the provenance of a bed which he had recently bought at auction, which had been described as 'Victorian'. In this interview Jonathan talks about how he identified the bed as that of Henry VII and Elizabeth of York, how it set off an interest in him to discover more lost Tudor treasures and the barriers which prevent many of his findings, including the bed, from being on public display. #Tudor #history #tudorhistory For the extended, ad-free version of this episode, please join the British History Club at www.Patreon.com/BritishHistory to enjoy early access to content, exclusive blogs, discounts on British History Events and take part in Book Club!

Power hungry and pious? The Tudor Matriarch, Margaret Beaufort | Dr Nicola Tallis Historian Dr Nicola Tallis joined me to talk about the subject of one of her most popular books, Margaret Beaufort. Margaret has been portrayed in a fairly unidimensional way in popular culture; power hungry and pious with a myopic view of God's plan for her only son, Henry Tudor. In this fascinating interview with Margaret's biographer we learn much more about the real woman behind the enduring public image, a woman who survived the political turmoil of the 15th century but also someone who enjoyed gambling and socialising much more than we ever hear about!

Dressing for the Tudor Court was no simple matter, with rules around who could wear what, the challenge and expense of obtaining fabrics and jewels, and the fine line between being a glittering appendage to the court or a treasonous upstart!
