DING DING DING. Choose your fighter!! Will it be: a fifteen year old noblewoman you’ve never heard of OR a thirty-five year old princess who loves Spain and the Pope! Nine Days. One crown. Who will win??? Come with us this week as we explore early modern England’s greatest royal SMACKDOWN, the battle for the throne duked out between Lady Jane Grey and Princess Mary Tudor. Learn how these two dauntless Tudor women faced each other in a fight for the throne, revealing the religious and social divisions that were waiting to tear England apart. Tangents Abe’s moving nightmare, the Massachusetts initiation ceremony, and the name of the thing that you put your head on before they chop it off.
