Celebrating Elizabeth I with Tracy Borman, pt 1 (ep 72)

Dr. Tracy Borman is an internationally well-known and well-loved
historian, broadcaster, and author. Her books are credited with
humanizing the Tudors as she shares such details as Henry VIII’s
love of puddings and Elizabeth I’s invention of her own perfume.
Her nonfiction recreates and brings to life the famous figures of
the Tudor dynasty. And her new non-fiction trilogy is described
as “luring readers” into the world of Stuart England through the
story of Lady Frances with effortless storytelling and vivid
details. 

Tracy has been part of many historic programs for television,
including The Fall of Anne Boleyn, Inside the Tower of London,
World’s Greatest Palaces, Private Lives of the Monarchs, Inside
the Court of Henry VIII, Majesty and Mortal: Britain’s Great
Palaces, Tales from the Royal Bedchamber, and more.

Her non-fiction books include Henry VIII and the Men who Made
Him; The Private Lives of the Tudors: Uncovering the Secrets of
Britain’s Greatest Dynasty; Thomas Cromwell: The Hidden Story of
Henry VIII’s Most Faithful Servant; Elizabeth’s Women; The Story
of the Tower of London; Witches: A Tale of Sorcery, Scandal, and
Seduction; Matilda: Queen of the Conqueror, and King’s Mistress,
Queen’s Servant. Her fiction series, the King’s Witch trilogy,
includes The King’s Witch, The Devil’s Slave, and The Fallen
Angel. 

Tracy’s new book, Crown & Sceptre: A New History of the
British Monarchy, will be released in the UK later this year and
in 2022 in the US. It coincides with the celebrations of Queen
Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee.

Tracy is also Joint Chief Curator of Historic Royal Palaces and
actually has an office in Henry VIII’s grand palace, Hampton
Court.
