A Very Merry Tudor Christmas! | What Was Tudor Christmas Like?

The Tudors - known for having tumultuous rulers, high ruffs and religious indecisiveness...but how did they celebrate Christmas?

How does it compare to our modern Christmas - and which of our traditions can we thank the Tudors for? If you like my videos, consider sponsoring me via Patreon here!
