Pastime With Good Company

What did our six queens do for fun at the Tudor court? How did popular pastimes like dancing, singing, playing instruments, playing sports, jousting, and hunting allow courtiers to show off their political savvy? How is entertainment often tied to danger, excitement, and violence? And which came first, the fun or the politics?! In this episode, Kate and Cally will introduce you to a variety of Tudor pastimes that really show how vibrant and dangerous the court of Henry VIII was.SUBSCRIBE to Six Queens on Substack to get extra features for this episode, access to community discussions, and more!
