  • Christmas Eve in Tudor England: Fasting, Firelight, and Midnight Mass - And a message from Claire!

    Christmas Eve in Tudor England: Fasting, Firelight, and Midnight Mass - And a message from Claire!
    Dec 23 2025
    Christmas Eve in Tudor England was a day of preparation, restraint, and anticipation, not feasting. It marked the final day of Advent. In this short Christmas Eve episode, I’m sharing quick reminders of how Tudor people marked this special day, from fasting and firelight to church and tradition, before the celebrations truly began. For a deeper look at how Christmas was celebrated across the whole season, watch my video “The Real Twelve Days of Christmas” - https://youtu.be/0t61a2jATgs Before I go, I also want to say a heartfelt thank you, from me and Tim, and from our whole family (including the pets!), for all your support this year. Whether you watch, comment, share, or support the channel in other ways, it genuinely means so much. If you’d like to support the channel further and enjoy exclusive Tudor content, livestreams, zooms, magazines and resources, you’re very welcome to join my YouTube channel membership. Merry Christmas, and thank you for being here. #TudorChristmas #ChristmasEve #TwelveDaysofChristmas #HistoricalTraditions

  • Tudor Christmas Music Wasn’t Quiet: Instruments, Entertainers & Festive Noise

    Tudor Christmas Music Wasn’t Quiet: Instruments, Entertainers & Festive Noise
    Dec 22 2025
    Tudor Christmas didn’t just sound like gentle carols, it was bold, noisy, and spectacular. In this episode of my Tudor Christmas Advent series, we step beyond singing and into the vibrant world of Tudor Christmas music, the instruments, entertainers, and soundscape that filled great halls, courtyards, streets, and chambers during the festive season. This isn’t church music. This is feasting, dancing, misrule, and display. You’ll discover: - Why loud instruments like shawms and sackbuts dominated festive evenings - How pipes, tabors, and drums drove dancing and revelry - Which softer instruments — like viols, rebecs, and lutes — were played later in the evening - Who provided the music, from court musicians and household minstrels to the city waits - And why Henry VIII himself was at the heart of Tudor Christmas music-making If you’d like to explore Tudor music even further, I recommend my interview with historian, musician, and historical instrument maker Jane Moulder, which I’ve linked here: https://youtu.be/07xLwzchEqs Question for you: Which Tudor instrument would you most like to hear played live? #TudorChristmas #TudorMusic #TudorHistory #EarlyMusic #HenryVIII #ChristmasHistory #MusicHistory

  • Christmas on the Streets: Tudor Mystery Plays & the Origins of the Coventry Carol

    Christmas on the Streets: Tudor Mystery Plays & the Origins of the Coventry Carol
    Dec 21 2025
    Tudor Christmas wasn’t just celebrated at home or in church, it was performed. In this episode of my Tudor Christmas Advent series, we step into the vivid, noisy, emotional world of Christmas mystery plays, public dramas staged in streets, market squares, and churchyards across medieval and early Tudor England. You’ll discover: - What mystery plays really were — and why the word “mystery” meant craft, not confusion - How towns like York, Chester, and Coventry brought Christmas to life with pageant wagons and street drama - Why King Herod was played as a terrifying, shouting tyrant - How shepherds’ humour made the Nativity relatable to Tudor audiences - And how one of our most haunting carols, Coventry Carol, comes directly from a Christmas mystery play These plays didn’t just tell people the Christmas story, they made them feel it. This video is part of my Tudor Christmas Advent series. If you’ve enjoyed it, please like, subscribe, and ring the bell so you don’t miss tomorrow’s episode. Question for you: Would you have watched a Tudor Christmas mystery play, or found it too intense? #TudorChristmas #MysteryPlays #CoventryCarol #TudorHistory #ChristmasHistory #MedievalDrama #BritishHistory #EarlyModernEngland
