In this episode, I'm joined by special guest Sharon Bennett Connolly to delve into the fascinating story of Perkin Warbeck, the infamous pretender to the English throne. We'll explore Warbeck's rebellion, his audacious attempt to claim Exeter, and the compelling role his wife, Lady Katherine Gordon, played in his quest for legitimacy.

Today, I’m thrilled to welcome back Dr. Emma for another deep dive into one of our favorite subjects—Katherine of Aragon! As always, our conversation branches into so many fascinating Tudor topics that it’s hard to list them all. But this episode is fittingly titled Katherine of Aragon: The Queen of Queens, because the more we discuss her, the more I’m struck by her immense contributions to Tudor history. It’s also a reminder of just how strategic Henry VII was in securing that powerful marriage alliance with Spain.

Rather than our usual This Week in Royal History segment, I’ve decided to spotlight two remarkable women from this week in history. I hope you enjoy diving into the fascinating lives of these extraordinary queens: Maria Amalia of Saxony and Elizabeth of Bohemia.
