Mary Tudor’s Hidden Influence + How Tudors Learned - Claire Ridgway interviews Amy McElroy

Join me for a lively deep-dive with historian and author Amy McElroy—whose books include Educating the Tudors and Women’s Lives in the Tudor Era, with Mary Tudor, Queen of France out next and a new project on Desiderius Erasmus underway. We talk Tudor education, women’s real power at home and court, Mary Tudor’s overlooked influence, and why Erasmus matters. In this interview, we explore: How Amy fell in love with history and turned blogging into books Educating the Tudors: what (and how) children learned—across class and gender Women’s Lives in the Tudor Era: daughters, wives, mothers, widows—how much agency did they really have? Mary Tudor, Queen of France: the sister who shaped a dynasty—beyond the shadow of Henry VIII Erasmus: Europe’s sharpest mind—visionary or misunderstood? Research wins, writing routines, audience Qs, and a quick-fire Tudor round About my guest: Amy McElroy is the author of Educating the Tudors (2023), Women’s Lives in the Tudor Era (2024), and Mary Tudor, Queen of France (2025), with Desiderius Erasmus: The Folly or Far Sightedness of Renaissance Europe's Greatest Mind (2026) forthcoming. She co-hosts The Tudor Notebook on Substack and has appeared on several podcasts.
