The House of Dudley: Just the Women
Wednesday, 21 August @ 2pm
The History Festival at Hever Castle
This isn’t the story of the Dudleys we might know – Edmund, John, Robert. This is the secret story of the women of the Dudley family, who for over a century continually picked up the pieces each time the family fell apart.
