Tudors Dynasty

Hosted ByRebecca Larson

This podcast is for the serious (or not so serious) Tudor fanatic.

Hi! I am Rebecca Larson, a mom, wife, professional genealogist, and armchair historian.

My passion for the Tudor dynasty began during the research of my own family history. While working on my maternal grandmother’s side of the family I had traced them back to Margaret Tudor, sister to Henry Vlll and queen consort of Scotland. How exciting – related to the Tudors! — Unfortunately, no. I wish I could say I’m related to the Tudors…but I’m not. I had missed an error is one of the branches of my tree which led me away from the Tudor line. That is what started my interest in learning more about the Tudors, all things Tudors and monarchs in general.
