History

We continue our #MightyMargarets series!

Today we present to you our chat with Linda Porter about her book The Thistle and The Rose published by Head of Zeus, which tells the story of Margaret Tudor, English Princess, sister of Henry VIII. Margaret went on to marry the Scottish king James IV, and thus became the grandmother to the future Mary Queen of Scots and great-grandmother to James VI & I.

Margaret was the link between the Tudors and the Stuarts, so Happy #StuartSunday to you all!

There's a certain texture to the past that often gets smoothed over in textbooks. If It Ain't Baroque..., an independent history podcast from the team at Reign of London Tours, digs into that rich grain. Instead of a dry march through dates, each episode uses history as a lens-a prism, really-to examine the broader tapestry of life, culture, and the human experience. You'll hear stories where the grand narratives of politics and power intersect with the intimate details of everyday existence, revealing how people lived, thought, and felt in other times. The perspective offered here is grounded in a deep, practical knowledge of historical spaces and stories, moving beyond the abstract to something more tangible. This isn't about memorizing facts; it's about connecting threads from then to now. Tune in for a thoughtful, meandering exploration where a single artifact, a forgotten figure, or a specific event can open up a whole world of understanding. The result is a consistently engaging listen that reminds us how the past is never truly past, but always echoing in the foundations of our present.
