In the first of three special Christmas editions, Professor Suzannah Lipscomb offers another chance to hear the series from earlier this year in which she took an in-depth look into the six wives of Henry VIII, revealing the rich stories and incredible lives of these women who changed the monarchy - and England - forever. For the next three editions, we’ve joined two of those episodes together in turn to create bumper episodes. Suzannah begins with Renaissance Queen Katherine of Aragon and the woman who replaced her in Henry’s affections, the tragic Anne Boleyn. The episode delves into the fascinating lives, achievements, and sad ends of these two influential Queens, exploring their backgrounds, marriages, and the political dynamics at Henry VIII's court.
Presented by Professor Suzannah Lipscomb. The researcher is Alice Smith and the producer is Rob Weinberg. The senior producer is Anne-Marie Luff.
