Tudoriferous

What a nice man!  Scholar, Franciscan.  Lovely.

So what happened when he became Pope....and can we blame THE NEPHEWS?

Mid-episode Transition Music: "Folk Round" by Kevin MacLeod from https://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/music.html

Everyone has heard of Shakespeare, but what was going on in the world of drama a century before the height of the Elizabethan Stage?

What could the subjects of Henry VII go and see? Why might Ali from the Rex Factor podcast have another reason to dislike St Dunstan? How did community theatre traumatise at least two kings? Who were the most dramatic monks? And which demon should you watch out for if you start to nod off in church?

The show is about to start, so grab your anachronistic popcorn and get ready...

This is the story of Pier and Bianca.  You can see examples of their love in the beatiful frescos of Torrechiaro.
