    William and Mary's Glorious Revolution
    Sep 30 2024

    The events that led to the joint monarchy of William and Mary in 1689 have long been known as the Glorious Revolution, in which King James II was overthrown in favour of his Protestant daughter Mary and her husband, the Dutch Prince William of Orange. But not so glorious or bloodless were the ensuing years of devastating violence wreaked across Scotland and Ireland which have largely been ignored in histories.


    Professor Suzannah Lipscomb finds out more from Professor Ted Vallance, author of The Glorious Revolution: 1688 - Britain's Fight for Liberty.


    Presented by Professor Suzannah Lipscomb. The audio editor is Ella Blaxill, the researcher is Alice Smith, and the producer is Rob Weinberg. The senior producer is Anne-Marie Luff.

  • Rosy Royals: Tudor & Stuart Gardens

    Rosy Royals: Tudor & Stuart Gardens
    Sep 23 2024

    One subtle but powerful way that the Tudor and Stuart monarchs tried to show off their magnificence was through the creation of gardens that conveyed authority and cultural achievement. Garden history gives us an insight into statecraft, foreign influence and changing ideas of beauty.


    In this episode of Not Just the Tudors, Professor Suzannah Lipscomb talks to Dr. David Jacques OBE, who explains why so much money was spent on royal gardens from the reign of Henry VII through to Queen Anne.


    Presented by Professor Suzannah Lipscomb. The researcher is Alice Smith, the audio editor is Max Carrey and the producer is Rob Weinberg. The senior producer is Anne-Marie Luff.

Fascinating, disturbing, and even funny

This was a great interview that highlighted some interesting and needed research into non-mainstream historical sexuality. The researcher was clear, knowledgeable, and even witty, while never ignoring the tragedy of the subject. The interviewer, as always, was knowledgeable and well-prepared.

This speaks to my inner history nerd

This is so great! The guests are interesting, Suzanna, the host is engaging. It's history through a different lens. It's easy to listen to and is so informative. I'm hooked.

Always fascinating

This is a great podcast: a personable host, interesting topics, and a dry dash of humor. Susannah Lipscomb always prepares for each episode, asks interesting questions, and keeps the interviews lively without making them light on academics. The range of topics is startling while still staying linked to the late 15th, 16th and early 17th centuries and providing wonderful period context. No matter which part of the world the podcast travels to, its home base is the Tudors, with behind-the-hype/myth discussions of the people “everyone knows.” It’s definitely my favorite podcast!
