A prequel to Gerald Fitzgerald, this episode takes a look at why the English were in Ireland in the first place and why they hung on to it despite the lack of any discernible benefits.

S1 045 - Gerald Fitzgerald, 8th Earl of Kildare - Part One

Join us, Michelle, Lucy and David, for a mildly diverting delve into the great, the good, the mad, the brave, the outrageous, the mischievous and the truly preposterous folk of the Tudor Age.  Three enthusiastic Tudorphiles discuss each in turn and give them marks out of ten for intrigue, martyrdom, posterity and rise &amp; fall before deciding whether they are Tudorlicious.
