The Irish rebellion that shook the Tudors

Single Malt History with Gareth Russell

This episode of Single Malt History with Gareth Russell covers the remarkable actions of 'Silken Thomas' Fitzgerald, an earl suspected of witchcraft, a countess who nursed her husband in prison, and how Tudor Ireland reveals what Anne Boleyn and Thomas Cromwell thought of one another long before the dramatic events of her downfall.
