Jatinder Kailey from the Adult Learning team at Historic Royal Palaces has just let us know about a series of talks they're holding as part of their season of evening talks at Hampton Court Palace on finding favour at court.
"The Tudor royal court entertained a vast community of people who provided the engine of the monarchy. From mistresses to politicians and servant to nobleman, who held the positions of power? Join us this autumn as we explore how courtiers moved up and down the Tudor court hierarchy in a dangerous game of snakes and ladders. Did they succeed or fail?"
