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.

How did our queens use clothing and jewelry to shape their public personas? What did their fashion choices say about their political agendas? How was the Tudor court influenced by the style of a queen? And what can we learn about our queens through the jewelry collection that they all shared?
In perhaps our most fun episode yet, Kate and Cally are discussing the fashion and jewelry of our six queens: the expensive fabrics and gems that denote their queenly status, the political messages hidden beneath headdresses and brooches, and the differences in styles throughout their six queenships.

Kate and Cally are going on a who’s-who tour of the Tudor court. Next, they’ll be discussing the fathers and siblings who rose to power with our queens, especially the Boleyn, Seymour, and Parr families.
How did the elevation of an English queen benefit her family? Did the politics of her family influence her rise? How did the family members make names for themselves? And were our queens active participants in these political games, or were they just a vehicle for their families’ ambitions?
