334. Tudor Propaganda? The Yorkists Got There First with Nathen Amin | Gloucester History Festival LIVE

About this episode

Did the Tudors really invent medieval fake news, or did the Yorkists get there first? When we think of historical spin, Tudor propaganda usually takes centre stage. But host Paul Bavill sits down live at the Gloucester History Festival with acclaimed medieval historian and author Nathen Amin (House of Beaufort, Son of Prophecy) to completely shatter this dynastic myth. In this fiery live session, Nathen exposes how Henry VII was simply a student of the game, adopting the very political playbook created by the House of York. From medieval Photoshop on parchment rolls and character assassination against Margaret of Anjou to the destruction of parliamentary records, discover how the Yorkists pioneered every trick in the book long before the Tudors ever claimed the throne. Digital Passes & Festival Information Nathen Amin appeared as part of the Gloucester History Festival.
