The Dudleys: power behind the Tudor throne

History Extra podcast

06-05-2022 • 40 mins

The might of the Tudor dynasty was built on the blood and sweat of three generations of another family – the Dudleys. And sometimes, they paid the ultimate price. Rhiannon Davies speaks to Joanne Paul about the members of the family who were key players in the Tudor era, from Edmund Dudley’s efforts to raise taxes for Henry VII to Robert Dudley’s flirtatious friendship with Elizabeth I. (Ad) Joanne Paul is the author of The House of Dudley: A New History of Tudor England (Penguin, 2022).
