(How The Tudors Lost Their Heads: John Dudley: The Wicked Duke) Historie Historians Dan Snow and Professor Suzannah Lipscomb investigate the lives and deaths of some of Tudor Englands most fascinating figures, including Anne Boleyn, Mary, Queen of Scots, and Perkin Warbeck, who claimed to be one of the famed Princes in the Tower. Dan and Suzie seek clues in spectacular castles and palaces across Britain and Europe, gain rare access to archives, and reveal new evidence that helps expose the truth behind the executions. Were these iconic figures architects of their own downfall or casualties of ruthless political power plays? The series combines cinematic storytelling with cutting-edge research as we reassess some of the Tudor eras most notorious, controversial and misunderstood individuals. If you want to understand the Tudors, get to know who they executed - and why. John Dudley rose from family disgrace to become the power behind King Edward VIs rule. In a court divided into two powerful factions, religious reformers and conservative Catholic nobility, Dudley betrayed friendships and crushed rivals, making powerful enemies along the way. In 1553, when the young king died, rumours swirled that Dudley had conspired to snatch the crown for his daughter-in-law, Lady Jane Grey. She was abruptly dethroned by the future Mary I and, without supporters, Dudley was arrested and executed as a traitor. Professor Suzannah Lipscomb and Dan Snow trace Dudleys rise and downfall. They uncover how he navigated the shifting alliances of the Tudor court and re-examine the evidence that sealed his fate. For so long, Dudley was a winner in the Tudor game of thrones; ultimately, was he also its victim? MN 12 (United Kingdom)
