I’m starting to do individual Show Notes for each episode of Watching The Tudors. If you haven’t listened to that podcast yet, we’re on Episode 7 of the first season so you can go back and listen to the others at http://www.watchingthetudors.com. The Tudors is currently available on Netflix, and available to purchase on Amazon, iTunes, etc.
In this episode everyone gets sick. The 1528 Sweating Sickness comes to England, which really did happen. Anne did really get sick, as did her father (not shown in this episode).
Here are some more links to learn more about the Sweat:
