In this second special Christmas edition, Professor Suzannah Lipscomb offers another chance to hear the fascinating series from earlier this year in which she took an in-depth look into the six wives of Henry VIII, revealing the rich stories and incredible lives of these women who changed the monarchy - and England - forever. This time, Suzannah turns her attention to the sad, short queenships of wife number three Jane Seymour and number four Anne of Cleves - two women about which there’s a lot more to be said than their brief marriages to Henry VIII.

Presented by Professor Suzannah Lipscomb. The researcher is Alice Smith and the producer is Rob Weinberg. The senior producer is Anne-Marie Luff.
