Harvington Hall with Professor Suzannah Lipscomb

Harvington Hall episode 2 continues with Professor Suzannah Lipscomb.

Here we discuss the religious changes during the Tudor era and Henry VIIIs break with Rome! 

Suzannah's research focuses on the sixteenth century, both on English and French history. She works on Henry VIII and the early Tudor court, and is especially interested in the intersection of religious, gender, political, social, and psychological history. This has led her to write about Henry VIII’s annus horribilis, 1536; Anne Boleyn’s fall; and the creation of Henry VIII’s last will and testament. She is also interested in ordinary women's lives, faith, marriages, and sexuality in sixteenth-century France, which is the subject of her latest major book, and in witchcraft and the witch-trials. She has additionally published on heritage and public history, writing a regular column for History Today that explores the role of history outside the academy.
