Tudor Historians Day at West Horsley

 -

Join me and three other historians, Sarah Gristwood, Alison Weir, and Nicola Tallis at the delightful West Horsley Place 

The King's Pearl: Henry VIII and his daughter Mary

I'll be talking about the relationship between Henry VIII and his daughter, later Mary I, which was very much more nuanced than you may think. Mary was the only one of his children with whom Henry had an adult relationship but although he loved her as a father, their political aims were not aligned! 

I have previously spoken at West Horsley, about 1000 Tudor People. That talk was in Tudor gentlewoman's costume.
