Death and the King's Favorite (with Benjamin Woolley)

George Villiers was in his early twenties when he caught the eye of King James the VI and I. Almost immediately, George became an intimate "favorite," catapulted into a new title and world of courtly power. Whether the relationship between the two men was sexual is still a question historians debate, but the thing that can't be denied is that their relationship would have deadly consequences. Dana is joined by author Benjamin Woolley, whose book The King's Assassin [https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250221155/thekingsassassin] inspired the new television series Mary & George.
