Educating the Tudors: The Blind Poet, the French Linguist, and the Loyal Martyr

When we think of Tudor education, names like Erasmus and Roger Ascham often come to mind. But they weren't the only men shaping the minds of England's future kings, queens, and nobles.In this episode, we continue our exploration of Tudor tutors by turning our attention to three fascinating figures: Bernard André, the blind poet and historian who served Henry VII; Giles Duwes, the French linguist who helped educate generations of Tudor royals; and Richard Fetherston, a respected scholar whose loyalty to Catherine of Aragon ultimately led him to the executioner's block.Join me as we uncover the lives, careers, and lasting legacies of these remarkable educators and discover how their influence extended far beyond the classroom.--Andre's stuff is in Latin: Historia regis Henrici Septimi, a Bernardo Andrea tholosate conscripta : necnon alia quædam ad eundem regem spectantia : Gairdner, James, 1828-1912 : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive - https://archive.org/details/historiaregishen00gair/page/90/mode/2upAlternatively an English translation can be found here: https://philological.cal.bham.ac.uk/andreas/1e.htmlAnd here is a link to Duwes book:An introductorie for to lerne... : Duwes, Giles : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive - https://archive.org/details/bim_early-english-books-1475-1640_an-introductorie-for-to-_duwes-giles/page/n5/mode/2up--Amy's books on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B0BBSK2SDQ?ccs_id=109e65de-e6dc-4f7e-ac20-4f5f9b2dac8f--Host: Rebecca LarsonCo-Host/Guest: Amy McElroy
