Myths and Facts: Tudors, Catherine de Medici, Borgias

Hello my poison friends. I hope everyone is having a great weekend. Lets go back in time on this Friday 13th (we recorded yesterday lol so technically it was Friday 13 then) so we can pull apart some long believed myths concerning the involvement of a few powerful families and poisons (among other accusations). I do love a good history lesson and these are a wild ride through rumors of witchcraft and poisoning, toxic relationships, religious wars, and murder. I will be making mentions of a lot of Henry's and Giovanni's (these names were apparently big in their time) and stumbling over some other names (Adam is here to help me with religious terms I was apparently unaware of how to pronounce--just know that I am doing my best). Some of our players this episode include Henry XIII and Anne Boleyn, Catherine de Medici and her supposedly poisoned gloves, and the Borigias wild parties/orgies/poison fests. Rumors in and of themselves can poison reputations, so lets remedy some (only some) with the truth! We are so thankful for our supporters and listeners. Happy listening!
