Margaret Pole part 3

Here it is, the finale to the wild life of Margaret Pole, Countess of Salisbury and last great Plantagenet. What a rollercoaster it's been. We jump back into Henry VIII’s chaos: Catherine of Aragon cast aside, Anne Boleyn crowned (and gone), Thomas Cromwell on the rise, and our fiercely Catholic Margaret trying to keep her head

We follow Reginald Pole’s “turbo treason” across Europe and watch as the Exeter Conspiracy brings down Margaret and her family. From skipped coronations and pointed petitions to house arrest and the Tower, we unpack how a 60-something noblewoman became the poster child for Tudor paranoia, and why her 1541 execution by bill of attainder stunned Europe.
