I’m starting to do individual Show Notes for each episode of Watching The Tudors. If you haven’t listened to that podcast yet, we’re on Episode 7 of the first season so you can go back and listen to the others at http://www.watchingthetudors.com. The Tudors is currently available on Netflix, and available to purchase on Amazon, iTunes, etc.
In this episode everyone gets sick. The 1528 Sweating Sickness comes to England, which really did happen. Anne did really get sick, as did her father (not shown in this episode).
Here are some more links to learn more about the Sweat:

Heather Teysko is the creator, writer, and producer of The Renaissance English History Podcast, the original Tudor history podcast, started in 2009. She's been writing about history online for over 25 years, since her first site on Colonial American history became number one in history on Yahoo in 1998. In 2019 she created Tudorcon, which is now a yearly event, in addition to writing books, and running TudorFair.com - a whimsical Tudor Merch shop.
She has been passionate about Tudor England since she first read Alison Weir's The Six Wives of Henry VIII 30 years ago, and subsequently moved to London after college to spend her time immersed in Tudor history (how exciting when she got to interview Alison for the first time!). In addition to history, she is passionate about travel, and has lived in 3 countries and 4 states (not counting her perpetual state of confusion), and her family (who help her host her YouTube channel occasionally).
