-
Narrated by:
-
Written by:
In this episode we meet our main protagonist, Henry Tudor. We deconstruct the pivotal question: how did Henry’s long years in exile prepare him to claim the English crown in 1485?
We begin with a dramatic moment of danger in Brittany, capturing the uncertainty and peril that defined his early life on foreign soil. From there, the narrative unfolds into a decade-long education in political survival, an experience that would shape Henry into the cautious yet determined leader he would become. Along the journey, we also meet one of the most remarkable women in late medieval England: Margaret Beaufort, whose unwavering ambition and strategic acumen played a crucial role in her son’s rise to power.
Join us as we trace the trials, alliances, and lessons that forged Henry Tudor on the road to Bosworth.
