Relics

S1 - 038 Dr. Rodrigo de Puebla - Part Two

Would they have ganged up on him if he hadn't been Jewish?  Did Katherine ever realise all that he'd done for her?  What about that posthumous document?

We gave Tudorlicious to de Ayala....should we have done?  Should we give it to de Puebla?  Go to Episode Information – Tudoriferous (wordpress.com) to have your say.

Still no picture of de Puebla, so here's a picture of a young Catherine of Aragon.

S1 - 037 Dr. Rodrigo de Puebla - Part One

As the main Spanish ambassador to Henry VII's court, he lived in England for over twenty years.

De Ayala was suave, witty, socially at ease and a Christian.  De Puebla was none of those things, and didn't they make him suffer for it!

There are no pictures of de Puebla, so here's a picture of a reconstruction of Henry VII's face.
