Episode 109: Divorce in the Middle Ages (aka was there precedent for Henry's request)

This week, we look at the Big A. Annulment. There is a narrative
that Henry was doing something really outrageous when he wanted
to end his marriage to Katherine. When instead, he was actually
doing something pretty normal. This week we look at divorce and
annulments in Medieval England to show that what Henry was asking
for was actually something that was very common, and what made it
such a big deal was how much it was fought against, and that he
didn't get what he was asking for.
