Join us, Michelle and Lucy, for a mildly diverting delve into the great, the good, the mad, the brave, the outrageous, the mischievous and the truly preposterous folk of the Tudor Age. Two enthusiastic Tudorphiles discuss each in turn and give them marks out of ten for intrigue, martyrdom, posterity and rise & fall before deciding whether they are Tudorlicious.

To make sense of the Tudor world we have to look into the filthy underbelly. Join us as Syphilis is introduced and spread through Europe. *Note* This episode while clean in language does contain mature content.
Stab him? No. Beat him? No. Strangle him? No. Throw him off a cliff? No.
Then what?!
hmmmmm... I know we will get an ointment in a box that we can smear on a door.
Sorry, what?
With a plethora of sinister characters to choose from have we come to the correct choice?
Tiptoeing through the razor wire of the war of the roses and ending up on top when so many failed and died. How?!
Spanish ambassador to Scotland? In England? Sorry, he did what to his rooms? Sorry, he did what in the city? Excuse me, you think I should pay the damages?!
Father of the People and a very busy man, but does that make him worthy of Tudorlicious?
The biggest threat to Henry's reign! A legitimate Yorkist heir with designs on the crown... pardon? Sorry, your saying he just wants his Dukedom back? Just his Dukedom? ... and the lands?
No! He is the biggest threat to my reign! Really? He just wants his Dukedom back?
From a childhood poverty and insecurity, used as a pawn in marriage and 4th heir to the throne, to a Queen by a coup, bringing Castile under control, attending battles and reforming the church. Arguably one of the most famous Queens of the world. Do her actions with England merit attention? Do they merit the coveted title of Tudorlicious?
We get to the end of Perkin Warbeck the most famous pretender to the Tudor throne. But is that fame justified? You tell us!
Perkin attempts to take the throne... wait, where did he go?
Round and round and round we go, will we ever find out? No one knows.
So who is Perkin Warbeck? In the first ever first parter, we attempt to map out Perkin's rise to fame as the "Suprise! I'm actually alive!" Richard Duke of York. The younger of the two princes in the tower.
Was he truly a lawyer? Possibly the term enforcer may be closer...
The Popiest Pope of the Tudor Era or the poopiest? hmmmm only time will tell as we cover the rest of them... But for now, the Borja's have arrived!
Could this be the most evil of the Tudors we cover? I sure hope so!
Traitor, knight, general, prisoner, Earl and councilor ... we definitely can't call him lazy.
Sir Edward Poynings, possibly our most divisive episode for the listeners. A hero or a Machiavellian villain? Hmm…
The great explorer and discoverer of Newfoundland... wait what?
The Tudor that was supposed to be king but never was. Would he have been the 2nd coming of King Arthur? Was he good enough even as a teenager to deserve the title Tudorlicious?
It's a famous name in the time of the Tudors but does this John de la Pole deserve that fame?
