The Making of Henry VII: A Welsh Beginning - Part II

Here is a show notes page accompanying this on-location podcast episode, recorded at Tenby and Mill Bay. This is the second podcast episode of our two-part series, as we travel to the rugged coast of Pembrokeshire to explore the Welsh beginnings of the man who would become Henry VII. Long before the Battle of Bosworth and the founding of the Tudor dynasty, Henry’s story began in the castles, towns and landscapes of southwest Wales – in places deeply connected to his family and his Welsh ancestry.
