Mary I of England Part 3

Mary Tudor has FINALLY become Queen of England. After decades of family drama, religious persecution, and her father's general Tudor fuckery, our girl has the crown. Surely things can only get better from here, right? In the third and final installment of our Mary I series, Katy and Nathan dive into the reign that transformed Mary Tudor into the infamous Bloody Mary. But how did the girl who spent most of her life fighting for her own survival become one of England's most notorious monarchs? And does the nickname Bloody Mary tell the whole story? Join us as we unpack the triumphs, tragedies, terrible decisions, and complicated legacy of England's first crowned queen regnant.

Greg Jenner, historian, author, and host of the BBC's You're Dead to Me, joins Katy and Nathan to discuss two of the most infamous women of the Golden Age of Piracy: Anne Bonny and Mary Read.

Mary Tudor has already lost her title, her mother, and any illusion that her father is going to come to his senses. And somehow… things are about to get even messier. In Part 2, Anne Boleyn is out, Mary is bullied into submission, and she's finally welcomed back into Henry VIII’s good graces. We follow her through new stepmothers, the brutal execution of Margaret Pole, and an uneasy reconciliation with the father who turned her life into a psychological horror story. Then Henry dies, her baby brother becomes King and Mary’s Catholic faith puts her right back in danger. By the end, Edward is dead. Mary is queen… right? Well. Yes and no.

Before she became Mary I of England, the queen history remembers as “Bloody Mary,” Mary Tudor was Henry VIII’s beloved only daughter. Born to Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon in 1516, Mary grew up ridiculously educated, wildly privileged, and fully expecting to become a queen. Then came the King’s Great Matter. As Henry fought to end his marriage to Catherine and marry Anne Boleyn, Mary’s world collapsed. She was separated from her mother, stripped of the title Princess, declared illegitimate, removed from the succession, and sent to serve in the household of her new baby sister, Elizabeth. And when Henry demanded Mary accept his new marriage and authority over the Church of England? Absolutely not. In Part 1, we follow Mary from spoiled Tudor princess to the family crisis that would shape England’s future queen.

Eleanor of Aquitaine was Queen of France, Queen of England, Duchess of Aquitaine, mother to Richard the Lionheart and King John, and one of the most powerful women of the Middle Ages. While we get our Season 10 premiere ready, we’re sharing Katy’s visit to Right Answers Mostly, where she joined hosts Tess Bellomo and Claire Donald to tell the story of Eleanor’s marriages to Louis VII and Henry II, her time on the Second Crusade, the rebellion that landed her in captivity for 15 years, and her return to power later in life.

Before there was Dubya, there was Ann Richards the sharp-tongued, silver-haired Democrat who went from schoolteacher to Governor of Texas. Ann Richards battled alcoholism, got sober, transformed the Texas Treasury, and became a national political star after her unforgettable speech at the 1988 Democratic National Convention. But first, she had to survive one of the wildest gubernatorial races in Texas history, featuring an opponent who seemingly could not stop saying the worst possible thing at the worst possible time. Nathan tells Katy the story of the woman behind the famous one-liners, her rise through Texas politics, and the legacy she left behind.

When Eleanor Cobham, Duchess of Gloucester, was accused of witchcraft in 1441, was she actually casting spells... or simply too close to the English throne at the wrong moment? We follow Eleanor's rise from noblewoman to one of the most powerful women in England, her romance with Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester, and the political intrigue that turned astrological predictions into charges of treason and sorcery.

This week we're joined by our friend Bash from Historical Homos to tell one of the most unbelievable stories we've ever covered. Meet the Chevalier d'Éon: an 18th-century French noble who somehow managed to be a spy, soldier, diplomat, bestselling author, blackmailer of the King of France, celebrity fencer, and one of the earliest people in history to have their gender officially recognized by the state. Seriously. This story has everything. From secret missions in Russia to political scandals in London, royal intrigue at Versailles, and a transition that left all of Europe gossiping, d'Éon's life feels less like history and more like something a Netflix writer would get rejected for making too unrealistic. Join us and Bash as we dive into one of history's strangest, funniest, and most fascinating lives. --- Queens podcast is part of Airwave Media podcast network.

This week, Katy and Nathan take a break from queens and head into the world of UFO cults. In 1950s Chicago, housewife Dorothy Martin began receiving messages through automatic writing from beings she believed lived on the planet Clarion. With the help of a small group called the Seekers, she spread a startling prediction: a catastrophic flood would soon destroy Earth, and flying saucers would arrive to save the faithful. The prophecy never came true, but what happened next fascinated psychologist Leon Festinger. His study of the Seekers would eventually lead to one of the most influential concepts in modern psychology: cognitive dissonance. Join us for a story featuring alien Jesus, failed doomsday predictions, flying saucers, and the surprisingly important cult that helped explain why people cling to beliefs even when faced with evidence that they're wrong.
