Tales From the Otherwood
Jeffrey Hudson: Captain of Horse
It’s 1642, the Civil War has just kicked off! Queen Henrietta Maria, exhausted, weakened, dispirited and physically ill; has taken refuge, in a family residence in Nevers, Brittany. Jeffrey Hudson is now 25 years old and is not taking any more of being an object of ridicule from the remnants of the Queen's Court. As the adult Jeffrey tries to assert his worth as a man, he finds his eighteen inches of height will cause others to underestimate him….
This month’s chat includes information about the reservoir, Rutland Water, from listener of the show, Adam. And also includes some folklore about Jeffrey Hudson that had been believed to be fact until as recently as the 1920s!
Warning! One of the alleged stories about Jeffrey contains elements of animal cruelty.
