August 31 - The end of Robert Samuel in the reign of Queen Mary I
Saturday Aug 31, 2019
Saturday Aug 31, 2019
On this day in Tudor history, 31st August 1555, in the reign of Queen Mary I, the queen who has gone down in history as "Bloody Mary", Robert Samuel, a former minister, was burned at the stake in Ipswich, Suffolk.
Robert Samuel was burned as a heretic, a Protestant martyr. He had continued to minister privately, after being deprived of his living, and he had refused to leave his wife. He stayed firm to his Protestant faith and became one of the Ipswich Martyrs as a result.
In today's talk, Claire Ridgway, author of "On This Day in Tudor History", gives some details about this Tudor man, his visions, his death, and the women who became connected with him and who also died as a result.

August 29 - The sad story of Geoffrey Pole
Thursday Aug 29, 2019
Thursday Aug 29, 2019
On this day in Tudor history, 29th August 1538, Geoffrey Pole, son of Sir Richard Pole and Margaret Pole, Countess of Salisbury, was arrested. He was already on thin ice, having been a staunch supporter of Queen Catherine of Aragon and Princess Mary, but he now was suspected, like other members of his family, of being in communication with his brother, Cardinal Reginald Pole, a man who had upset King Henry VIII by writing a treatise against him and his policies.
Unlike other members of his family, including Margaret Pole, Geoffrey managed to survive this trouble - how? Why? What happened?
Claire Ridgway, author of "On This Day in Tudor History" explains all in today's talk.

Wednesday Aug 28, 2019
On this day in Tudor history, 28th August 1551, the thirty-five-year-old Mary, future Mary I, received a visit from a delegation of men sent by her half-brother, thirteen-year-old King Edward VI.
Mary was being defiant and disobedient. She was ignoring her half-brother's orders and was breaking the laws of the land. What was she doing? She was continuing to celebrate the Catholic Mass in her household.
In today's talk, Claire Ridgway, author of "On This Day in Tudor History", explains exactly what happened on this day in 1551, drawing on the report that the delegation gave to the king and his council. It gives us a wonderful insight into the pre-accession Mary I and her character.
