History's mysteries
We are recording a new tarot episode with Tandy this weekend. We'll probably post a poll later. We've got a few ideas for topics but wanted to see what y'all thought first!

Okay…IF it matters, and I’m not saying it does, but as a belated birthday present I say we do Mary Queen of Scots. 😂
I echo the sentiment that any or all of these would be fascinating. Also, I just heard that there's a medical theory about Queen Claude of France (wife to Francis I, served by Anne Boleyn): that she had Down syndrome. Probably not the most interesting question for Tandy, but I'm intrigued!
Amy Dudley
Was Juana really insane? Or just manipulated by the men in her life- husband, father, son in order for those men to gain control of her Kingdom.
I love all the topics but I’m going with Amy Dudley.
1. Pope Joan - Was there really a female pope around the year 1100? 2. Who stole the Irish Crown Jewels - On July 6th, 1907 someone stole the Crown Jewels Dublin Castle and they never found out who it was 3. The Dancing Plague - A mysterious plague struck Strasbourg, Alsace that made people dance uncontrollably. Some even danced themselves to death
Mary Queen of Scots!!!!
A bit left field but under the reign of Queen Elizabeth I — what really happened to the lost colony of Roanoke? And what does “Croatoan” really mean??
Here's one for you: did Empress Wu kill her own daughter?
Would anyone like did Mary Queen of Scots plot to kill her husband?
My whole thesis for graduate school is on Mary Queen of Scot’s and how she DIDN’T. Please do Mary Queen of Scots. I’ll die of happiness
What happened to the princes in the tower? Did they escape, were they killed, who killed them.
We've done that one with Tandy!
1) Did Elizabeth of York have feelings for Richard III, or was that a historical invention? 2) Did Richard III and Anne Neville have a happy marriage? 3) Did Anne Boleyn really scheme to become queen, or was Henry the real instigator of their relationship? 4) Did Henry believe Anne was guilty of adultery, or did he just want the marriage over? 5) Were Anne Boleyn and Catherine of Aragon friends prior to Henry's romantic interest in Anne? 6) Did Anne Boleyn write the famous letter from the Lady in the Tower?
Yay! Curious how involved Madam de Montespan was with the affair of the poisons
Yess can’t wait!
I would love to know what happened to agrippinas memoirs or even better, know what's in them!!
What happened to Amy Robsart Dudley? That’s probably my favorite right now. And maybe (hopefully) a little less dark for poor Tandy than the last one.
I agree ! What happened to Amy?!!
