Episode 319: The Vaux Family

In this episode, we trace the Vaux family from their Lancastrian
beginnings in the fifteenth century to their role in the Catholic
underground during the reigns of Elizabeth I and James I.


We follow the line from Katherine Peniston and her loyalty to
Margaret of Anjou, through Nicholas Vaux’s rise under Henry VII
and Henry VIII, and into the recusant world shaped by William
Vaux. The story leads to Anne Vaux; her safe houses, her
connection to Father Henry Garnet, and her brush with the
Gunpowder Plot.
