Anne Boleyn & Catherine Howard. with Gareth Russell.

In this episode, I am joined by historian and broadcaster Gareth Russell to discuss the circumstances which led to the executions of Anne Boleyn and, six years later, her cousin Catherine Howard. Their fates may have been the same, an executioners block at the Tower of London, but by comparing and contrasting the events which led up to the scaffold we can learn more about how each got to that point.

Gareth Russell explores the events surrounding the downfall of each of the ill-fated Queens of Henry VIII in this new perspective on a familiar story and reveals a surprising fact...that Henry wrote a play about Anne Boleyn's "sexual misdemeanours" before her trial!
