Chapter 199- “Long live the Conqueror” (Reformation 2/2) (1531-1534)

The Story of London by Saul

Episode notes

The complex and convoluted tale of Henry VIII’s break with Rome continues as the myriad passions of the King run headlong into his own doubt, a sudden need for international travel, the issues caused by him consummating his relationship with Anne Boleyn and more.

Meanwhile Westminster was being completely rebuilt, lepers were being cast out onto the streets, and murderous cooks are being boiled alive- welcome to London at the start of the Reformation!

Cover features detail from ‘Portrait of Henry VIII’, c 1520’ by unknown artist.
