The Tudor Society

September 2017 Live Chats – 22 and 30 September

This month's live chats will be taking place in the Tudor Society chatroom on Friday 22nd September and Saturday 30th September.

Informal Live Chat - 22 September

September's informal live chat discussion is on Catherine of Aragon and the annulment of her marriage to Henry VIII. Questions, theories, viewpoints, book recommendations etc. on anything to do with this topic are welcome. Was Catherine right to fight for her marriage? Should she have taken the veil? What about Henry VIII - did he have a valid point? etc. etc. Let's enjoy discussing this topic.

With our informal chats, we don't have an expert to 'grill', we just all bundle into the chatroom and have fun debating the topic for an hour. I (Claire) am usually the moderator, and will be for this one, and I'll just be there to check that it runs smoothly, and to join the debate too.

Here are the times in different time zones:

  • London, UK - Friday 22 September at 10pm
  • Madrid, Spain - Friday 22 September at 11pm
