Trivia
Queen Catherine of Aragon is nearly always portrayed as a Spanish brunette in both fiction and documentaries. However, she was in fact, a strawberry blonde with blue eyes and a fair complexion. This was discovered when a painting of Catherine by Michael Sittow, c1502, was authenticated.

Lucy is THE best!

Lucy Worsley (though closely followed by Tracy Borman and Suzannah Lipscomb) is my favorite historian and her accounts of the six wives of Henry VIII is my favorite Tudor documentary. Her enthusiasm and clear passion reminds me of my favorite history professors from college and I'm absolutely the kind of history nerd who re-watches documentaries for fun. Having a woman presenter is extra important when learning about women who lived in a time dominated and chronicled by biased, misogynistic men.
