This is the full print cover for SERVING THE TUDORS! I absolutely adore these portraits by Hans Holbein the Younger, so fortunate that they have survived The red livery coats are embroidered with 'H' and 'R' for 'Henricus Rex', as servants of Henry VIII's court in the 1530s

I cannot stress enough how much help I've had over the years in writing Serving The Tudors- the brilliant historians, their research was invaluable, the wonderful tutors, their guidance was essential, and all those who have so generously supported and shared my work- thank you

I was so thrilled that Rebecca invited me back on the @tudorsdynasty podcast to chat about Serving The Tudors. A massive shout-out to the onion which Rebecca added in post, it puts in so much work illustrating her point, and it matches my colour palette beautifully. 🧅

From a childhood on an Irish mountainside to the banquets of Hampton Court, Barnaby Fitzpatrick lived a remarkable life. Best friends with a Tudor boy-king, he dazzled the court of Catherine de Medici, rescued a relative from kidnapping, impressed Philip II, and charmed Elizabeth

Barnaby Fitzpatrick, who served Edward VI in his Privy Chamber, left such an impression on the surviving source material, so I cannot wait to listen to this episode of Gareth's brilliant podcast open.spotify.com/episode/6zMSBd…
