On 13 October 1549, Edward Seymour, Duke of Somerset, the man who had ruled England as Lord Protector for young Edward VI, lost it all.
By the next day, he was in the Tower.
How did the most powerful man in Tudor England fall so fast?
In this episode, I uncover the character flaws, bad decisions, and political missteps that doomed Somerset’s rule.
He was a soldier, reformer, and visionary, but also proud, volatile, and deaf to counsel.
Discover:

- How anger and obstinacy turned allies into enemies
- Why his leadership failed both at home and abroad
- And how ambition finally led him to the scaffold in 1552
