Newly Rediscovered Tudor Tapestry

Newly Rediscovered Tudor Tapestry

A rare discovery of a formerly lost Tudor tapestry is our topic for today. I've invited Dr. Emma Cahill Marron to chat with Senior Curator Amina Wright of The Auckland Project to discuss this find and how to bring it back home to England where it belongs. -- Credits: Guest Host: Dr. Emma Cahill Marron Guest: Amina Wright **Since this episode was recorded, a wave of generosity has taken the campaign over its initial £1m target! However, supporters are still encouraged to donate to support the tapestry's conservation, as textile works are particularly fragile and in need of care.

Women of the Anarchy: War of the Two Matildas

Women of the Anarchy: War of the Two Matildas

Empress Matilda, with all her rightful claim, seemed destined to become the first queen of England. However, her cousin Stephen, backed by the influential lords and barons, seized the opportunity from her grasp. King Stephen's wife, Matilda, added another layer to this historical drama with her significant presence. Eventually, the two formidable women found themselves in a fierce face-off, locked in a battle for the throne.

This time in history is similar to the Wars of the Roses centuries later!
