Over at the Tudor Learning Circle (the social network JUST for Tudor history enthusiasts) we have regular live chats with authors and historians. Tammy Shovelton recently stopped by to chat about the relationships of Elizabeth I.
In the video we talk about the relationship between Katherine Parr and Elizabeth – and how the Tom Seymour episode could have happened. Then we talk about Essex, and how Elizabeth was what we would call predatory today towards Robert Devereaux. Plus, Robert Dudley.
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).
