Remember the part in The Tudors when Henry was spiraling into his deep depression after the death of Jane Seymour, and started building Nonsuch Palace? I did too. So I wanted to dig into Nonsuch a little bit - what made it special, and how it was used.

Hello friends! It's been a minute, but I'm back on this show I love so much, talking Tudor nerdiness with friends like you.

This episode is a personal share about what's been going on, and also dives into the history of religious fasting in the 16th century - what reformers thought about it, and why it became an economic issue for England beyond the religious sphere.

trigger warning: Smoking and Tobacco use.

Soon after Columbus came back from his voyage to the West Indies, a sailor in Spain lit a pipe. And thus began tobacco's storied history in Europe. Within 150 years schoolboys at Eton were beaten if they didn't have their morning tobacco. How did one weed become such a huge part of society? Let's discuss.

Remember in a previous episode about Tudor bathrooms we talked about the medieval spa experience where you could have a meal and a bath at the same time in the bath houses all around Southwark? Then Henry VIII closed them all, and baths went out of fashion. But then during Elizabeth's time people begin to travel to spas like Buxton to "take the waters," and bang, the English holiday was born! Plus, foreign policy.
