Supplemental: The Pretenders with Matthew Lewis
36:14|This week's interview is part of the discussion we had with Matthew Lewis in the Tudor Top 50 program on how there might be more to the traditional stories that we've been told, perhaps orchestrated by Henry VII as part of the Tudor Propaganda Machine.

21:58|Thomas More was once one of Henry VIII’s closest friends and most trusted advisors—a brilliant scholar, lawyer, and devout Catholic. But when Henry broke from Rome to marry Anne Boleyn, More’s refusal to support the king’s supremacy over the Church sealed his fate. In this episode, we dive into More’s rise to power, his moral and religious convictions, and the chain of events that led to his arrest, trial, and execution in 1535.This Week in YouTube February 16
