Kate and Cally are two friends who met in an Early Modern History MA program. Now they have a podcast, where they discuss their love and admiration for the six queens who married Henry VIII. We put the queens back into their own narratives, debunk myths, and explore life for a sixteenth-century English queen.

Five of our queens were stepmothers to Henry VIII’s children. How did they approach this complicated family dynamic? Did the politics and etiquette of court affect the relationships between stepmother and stepchildren?
Kate and Cally discuss the complicated relationships between our queens and their royal stepchildren: Mary, Elizabeth, and Edward.

How did queens embrace the responsibility of educating their children, especially their daughters? How did they assert their own political power through raising and shaping their children?
Kate and Cally are devoting two episodes to discussing education, one of the most important components of motherhood for our six queens. On this episode, they’ll examine the progressive (for its time) education of Princess Mary, commissioned and championed by her mother, Katharine of Aragon.
