When the Tudors Hit the Road: Royal Progresses with Carol Ann Lloyd

Tudor monarchs didn’t just sit on thrones—they moved with them.
In this special interview, historian Carol Ann Lloyd joins me to
explore the world of Tudor progresses: the royal road trips that
brought the court (and the mess) to towns across England. We chat
about:


Why Henry VII hit the road just months after becoming king

How nobles went bankrupt trying to impress Elizabeth I

The epic disaster of Henry VIII’s progress with Catherine
Howard

Robert Dudley’s full-blown 1575 Kenilworth Proposal-palooza
(mermaids! fireworks! matching portraits!)

And yes—mud, plague, and poop logistics.



It’s part political strategy, part royal flex, and 100%
fascinating. Don’t miss it!
