Andrea Zuvich a.k.a. The 17th Century Lady is back on the podcast, and today we’re discussing her latest book - Ravenous: A Life of Barbara Villiers, Charles II’s Most Infamous Mistress. And what a life!
Welcome back, Andrea!
Barbara Villiers is known for being a mistress to Charles II, and a cousin to George, the Second Duke of Buckingham. Did you know she may have had a child with John, the First Duke of Marlborough? (That's an ancestor to both Lady Diana and Winston Churchill)
Let's delve deep into her life story, and untangle the web of lovers, royalty, and the general Stuart calamities...
Please join the #KeepItStuart movement in helping us to bring spotlight onto this oft-forgotten dynasty, The Stuarts, who ruled Britain in the 17th century, after ruling Scotland for the previous three.
Let's celebrate #StuartSaturday, which is today!

Today our guest is Brigitte Webster, and she’s going to tell us all about her book, published with Pen & Sword.
She will tell us about the Tudors’ relationship with their food: what they ate, what they drank, and how it is different from our attitude towards food today.
Brigitte lives in a 16th century house, which she is in the process of restoring to its fabulous Tudor glory. There are few people who can tell us this much about the daily world of the Tudors.

This is the final in our trilogy of episodes regarding the great battle of
Bannockburn, which happened in June 1314, when the might of England could not defeat the Scottish army.
This is one of the most famous battles in Scottish history.
In our previous episodes we spoke of the leaders of the opposing armies, as well as of the battle itself, in all its glory.
This time we’re talking about the legacy of the Battle of Bannockburn, what did it mean for Scotland, for its victor Robert the Bruce and what can you see from this battlefield today.
Now, let’s hear our interview with Callum Watson, author and historian, who actually works at the site of the Battle of Bannockburn and who recently published a book on the topic with Pen & Sword.
He also contributed to the Channel 5 documentary ‘Britain’s Lost Battlefields’, where he spoke all things Bannockburn;
AND Callum also has worked as a historical advisor on the ‘Outlaw King’ film for Netflix.

Right trusty and well beloved, we greet you well!
Today I am delighted to present to you our interview with Anne Sebba, the author of That Woman: Wallis Simpson, the Duchess of Windsor - the first biography of the infamous duchess that was written by ...a woman.
Wallis Simpson was the American divorcée for whom Edward VIII had abdicated his throne in 1936.
Let’s explore the common misconceptions about Wallis and uncover a few secrets as well.
