Join Professor Suzannah Lipscomb and Dr. Joanne Paul to explore all this, plus the entrance of Anne Boleyn to the Tudor court...</p><br><p><strong>MORE</strong></p><p><strong>Henry VIII's Billionaire Wardrobe</strong></p><p><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/henry-viiis-billionaire-wardrobe/id1564113869?i=1000625530486&itscg=30200&ls=1&mttnsubad=6442463604&at=1000l3ctA&itsct=podfollow_podcasts&ct=not-just-the-tudors-eplink" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen on Apple</a></p><p><a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/4Ed7b0tSoXMUm0ttOBrM8q" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen on Spotify</a></p><br><p><strong>Vanity of Henry VIII with Kate Lister</strong></p><p><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/vanity-of-henry-viii-with-kate-lister/id1564113869?i=1000726547664&uo=4&itscg=30200&ls=1&mttnsubad=6442463604&at=1000l3ctA&itsct=podfollow_podcasts&ct=not-just-the-tudors-eplink" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen on Apple</a></p><p><a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/5ecc1GrzrGQxG0haox8v4i" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen on Spotify</a></p><br><p>Presented by Professor Suzannah Lipscomb.
