Special Episode: Interview with Dr. Owen Emmerson
In this special episode, Dr. Owen Emmerson joins us to talk about his amazing career as a cultural historian and assistant curator of Hever Castle (Anne Boleyn's childhood home). As a Boleyn and Tudor history expert, you may recognize him from shows such as Netflix's Blood, Sex & Royalty, BBC's Who Do You Think You Are and The Boleyns: A Scandalous Family, along with multiple other shows on the BBC, HistoryHit, Amazon, etc. He is also the co-author of four books, his newest being Holbein's Latest Gem.
Dr. Emmerson and his fellow curators at Hever Castle recently made a remarkable discovery: finding and identifying Thomas Cromwell's Book of Hours. This is a groundbreaking revelation, as they have confirmed links between Cromwell's Book of Hours with both Anne Boleyn and Catherine of Aragon's prayer books. In this episode, we have the exclusive opportunity to learn more about this extraordinary study and what it means for not only developing Tudor history, but how it shapes our overall connection with the past.
