About Life and Death of Cardinal Wolsey

Immerse yourself in the riveting life story of Thomas Wolsey, an influential English statesman, Catholic bishop, and Cardinal appointed by Pope Leo X in 1515. His dramatic fall from grace was brought about by his failure to secure an annulment for King Henry VIIIs marriage to Catherine of Aragon, paving the way for Anne Boleyns rise. As Wolseys Gentleman Usher, George Cavendish produced an invaluable account of these highly significant events in English history, establishing himself as one of the first great English biographers. His vivid, unembellished writing style has stood the test of time, even serving as the inspiration for Shakespeares play Henry VIII. This podcast also includes Latin passages recorded by Kazbek, adding an extra layer of authenticity. Discover the complex dynamics of power, religion, and personal ambition in Tudor England through the life and death of Cardinal Wolsey. (Summary by Wikipedia & John Greenman)

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
