On the first Open House episode of this season of Works Not Cited, I’m taking you to the opulent private chamber of Mary of Woodstock at Amesbury Abbey and discussing the life of this nun-princess; her early veiling, her material world, her involvement in intercession, and (briefly) her love of gambling.
