Henry VIII & the Plantagenet Poles

Today, I'm thrilled to welcome Adam Pennington to the show to discuss his new book, Henry VII and the Plantagenet Poles. We dive into the fascinating story of Margaret Pole and her children, exploring the threat they posed to Henry VIII and his ruthless response. Our conversation also delves into Henry’s efforts to have Reginald Pole silenced. As direct descendants of George, Duke of Clarence—brother to Edward IV—the Poles carried royal blood, but their lineage seemed to come with a curse, as tragedy followed them through the generations.BOOK: Henry VIII and the Plantagenet Poles--Do you prefer a commercial-free experience?
