    Evelyn, if I may, your skill at storytelling, with your voice (so essential to the art), combined with your scholarly ability to condense extremely complex historical machinations in such short order is nothing short of genius! I’m working my way through your oeuvre with such guilty delight, rather like a decadent amuse bouche. 😘 Merci!

      @@EvelynEdwards great question! UA-cam’s horizontal videos feel more cinematic and good for long form content. I feel like overall it’s a better way to learn to absorb, but the vertical that we have on social media makes it very easy. It’s more convenient.
      In short, one is steak and the other is shrimp!

      They were kinsmen. She left when she was quite young. But he and his family was a large presence at court. They definitely got to know each other over the next decade and a half as rivals.

      There will be many parts. 💚 Arundel is actually still owned by the Duke of Norfolk- the highest ranking peer in the peerage of England. That’s got a big part to do with why.

    Arundel Castle is the family home of the Duke of Norfolk - the current Duke is Edward Fitzalan-Howard. Yes, the same Howard Family as King Henry VIII's 5th wife, Catherine Howard and, of course, Anne Boleyn. If the monarch of England could be a Catholic, the Duke would be King.
    Empress Matilda is one of the most interesting historical characters. She may not have been able to be Queen, but her son and his descendants were certainly Kings.
