Excellent show.

Why is it, that after every podcast of yours I listen to, I head over to the Book Depository and buy books? Loved this talk on Margaret Tudor.

I don’t know how much homework you did but Margaret Tudor and James IV were my 15th great grandparents. Continuing from there: James v, James 1st Earl moray, Elisabeth Stuart gravin van moray, James Stuart third earl, James Stuart earl van moray, lady Margaret Douglas Stuart, at some point she did immigrate to the us, George Sutherland, George Sutherland II, Samuel Sutherland, Philemon Sutherland, Mary Polly Sutherland, Hope Ann Powell, to my great great grandfather Robert Bernard. 😄don’t get confused by all the james’s cause I did 😂🤣😂 had to research my own tree to figure out which James was which by whoever they married. It was a job lol. And don’t get me started on the Tudor line lol still adding that is a nightmare tree let me tell you😂😅 thank you for your interest in my anscestors. Many kings had mistresses it was known and accepted by the queens I mean a powerful man will attract that and it was different times run by men so really you can’t judge it doesn’t mean they liked it but it was accepted.

Magaret Tudor is my favorite Tudor. She seems to me to have been just like her brother, although I don't know if she possessed Henry VIII's sociopathic tendencies. But in every other aspect I see their similiarities.
I remember when I first became interested in royal history back in the 90s I used a very credible genealogy source which claimed that the infamous Mitford sisters were descendants of Margaret Tudor through one of the children of her third marriage. When I recently tried to re explore this link through another genealogical site (the one I used originally no longer appears to be accessible to the public), I was no longer able to find the connection as by all updated accounts Margaret Tudor's children from her third marriage died in infancy. It was nonetheless nice to have spent twenty five years believing the Tudor
spirit lived on in some of the contrary and controversial behavior of the MItford sisters.
