À propos de ce contenu audio

His vivid, unembellished writing style has stood the test of time, even serving as the inspiration for Shakespeares play Henry VIII. This podcast also includes Latin passages recorded by Kazbek, adding an extra layer of authenticity. Discover the complex dynamics of power, religion, and personal ambition in Tudor England through the life and death of Cardinal Wolsey.
