Suzannah Lipscomb Instagram – Two NEW podcast episodes on #NotJusttheTudors out this week:
First, I speak to the brilliant novelist Denise Mina about her take on Savonarola – the late 15th century preacher, prophet, and politician who took on the corruption of the late medieval Catholic Church and despotic rulers like the Medici. He launched his own brand of fundamentalism with his bonfire of the vanities.
And I learn from Jennifer Potter about the Jamestown brides: in 1621, a call went out for women in England to become wives for planters in the new colony of Jamestown. They could be paid for in American tobacco.
