For the Love of God, Let Me Have Justice

We all know the story of "the King's Great Matter," Henry VIII's divorce from Katharine of Aragon, but what was Henry's actual case for divorce? How was the "Great Matter" influenced by politics, in England and abroad? And how has the case affected our modern perception of Katharine?  Kate and Cally are joined by a special guest as they investigate Henry's 1529 "divorce court" at the Blackfriars, London.  Listeners should be aware that this episode contains mature themes and some references to sensitive topics, such as miscarriage.
