This month please join us in exploring the love stories of the past.
Over the next few weeks we’ll be sharing with you our chats to various historians and we’ll be covering all the ways that Royals can come together, be it through arranged marriage, secret engagements or chance meetings.
On this, the first episode of our Valentines series of 2025, we’re focussing on the Iconic Power Couples of the royal circle.
Let’s take a look at three couples: Eleanor of Aquitaine & Henry II of England, Eleanor of Castile & Edward I and Isabel of Castile & Fernando of Aragon.
To help us understand these couples better, we've enlisted Sharon Bennett Connolly and Heather R Darsie.
Sharon Bennett Connolly has written many books about medieval women, let’s ask her about the two Eleanor couples.
Heather R Darsie has just finished her Katharine of Aragon book, which is convenient, because we’ll be talking about Kat's parents.

"Katharine of Aragon: Spanish Princess: I Am Not as Simple as I May Seem", published by Amberley Books.
Let's re-evaluate what we know of Katharine, as the daughter of Spain. What family drama did she leave behind? What was going on the continent when Henry was trying to divorce her? Did the change of Pope affect Katharine's fate?
Heather dives deep into Katharine's youth and busts myth after myth. Prepare to re-evaluate everything you know of this great Queen.

Today our guest is Ashley Wood, and we’re talking about his new Amberley Published book - Henry’s Shadow, which tells us about the life and times of John Morton, a cleric who was a very important figure during the Wars of the Roses.
John Morton was born during the reign of Henry V, with the memory of Henry IV still in the air, and died during the reign of Henry VII, with a future Henry VIII being a boy.
What was this man like, who did he side with, and how did he manage to survive in such perilous times? Let’s hear it from Ashley.

Let’s talk about Kateryn Parr - the last wife of Henry VIII.
Who were her first two husbands? Was she indeed the one who survived?
What was her relationship like with her step-children? She must have been quite a woman for Henry to leave her as regent when he went to fight the French.
To chat all things Kateryn, we have Laura Adkins, who recently published a biography of this queen with Pen & Sword.
