💘Thank you for this excellent presentation of Mary Lovell's research of Bess of Hardwick. Lovell's book is the best researched biography i've read with amazing stories of Mary Queen of Scot's interactions with Bess of Hardwick. Great read!!!
Social mobility in this period is something that continues to confuse me. Ms. Lovell says Bess marrying into the nobility was unusual for a commoner, but wasn't it usual for noble families who were running out of wealth to intermarry with non-noble families who actually had money?
I can never understand why a film series has not been based on her life. It has everyrhing. S strong shrewd astute business woman equal to Queen Elizabeth .

Excellent chat! Enjoyed hearing about Bess!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I have all ready bought Mary's book on Bess from Google Play books!
That was a fascinating interview! Thanks :)
I loved this. I find Bess and Mary so much more fascinating then Elizabeth the Queen. X

How about an interview on the state of Scholasiticism in Tudor England and its relations with Humanism

Not for me. Anyone that does introductions in this manner - no thanks.
