In our first ever special guest episode, John from the Prime Time: Prime Ministers podcast tells us all about Parliament in the reign of Henry VII.

Why was parliament so full of marriage councelors? What do Eleanor of Provence and Liz Truss have in common? What did the members of the House of Commons have to fear from hordes of hungry monks? And why did Penny Mordaunt give a long parliamentary speech about chickens? You might need to cover any young listeners' ears for that one...

What a nice man!  Scholar, Franciscan.  Lovely.

So what happened when he became Pope....and can we blame THE NEPHEWS?
