Almost a prince, almost a duke, almost a kingmaker, almost a rebel - this man teeters on the edge of history, but will Elizabeth Woodville's son, stepson to Edward IV and brother-in-law to Henry VII, be able to escape from the shadow of his incredibly dramatic family? Maybe if we can just work out what a Marquis actually is...

We've covered all of the popes who ran the Catholic Church during Henry VII's reign (and at least one who didn't), and who better to tell us how we've done than Bry and Fry from "Pontifacts - ranking all of the Popes from Peter to Leo XIV"!

Listen on to hear why we let Sixtus IV off far too lightly, why pious men don't make good Renaissance Popes, and why Julius II was just so, so obsessed with Alexander VI.

And why didn't they listen to Burchard?
