  • Summary

  • Today, I’m joined by trained midwife and author Brigitte Barnard for a fascinating deep dive into pregnancy and childbirth in Tudor England. We’ll explore the realities faced by women of the time—and you won’t want to miss Brigitte’s theory on what really caused Jane Seymour’s death. Spoiler: it’s not childbed fever!
