In this episode historian John Guy explores Henry's successes, and the role of his Chief Ministers in achieving them. In this series of talks by renowned Tudor historians, we closely examine the monarch and man himself, Henry VIII.  These talks were recorded live in collaboration with History Today to mark the 500th anniversary of the coronation of Henry VIII.

Historic Royal Palaces are a team of people who love and look after six of the most wonderful palaces in the world. This fortnightly podcast brings you the history and stories of those palaces. 
 

You’ll hear from our experts and the people who bring our palaces to life, as we create space to explore how history moves us, telling stories about the monarchs you know, and uncovering the lives and histories of the people you don’t. 


Just like our palaces, this podcast is a mix of old and new. Each episode will have a different feel, from previously recorded live talks, to exciting new discussions and discoveries. You’ll have every opportunity to share in the history we love.
