    [YouTube Drop] Chapuys and Tudorcon Recap!
    Oct 7 2025

    Imperial ambassador Eustace Chapuys spent nearly two decades at Henry VIII’s court, recording the gossip, arguments, and scandals that defined the Tudor age. Fiercely loyal to Catherine of Aragon and Princess Mary, and famously hostile to Anne Boleyn, his letters give us some of the most vivid snapshots of Henry’s reign.

    Plus, a Tudorcon recap (the first of what will be many, I'm sure!)
