"Sir Edward Seymour's rise to a position of influence was swift: [...] [in 1536] he was shortly to be made Master of the Horse, [bringing him] into daily contact with the King [...]"

The expences of my Lord [the Duke of Richmond]'s household, July 1525 To Sir Edwd. Seymour, master of the Horse, for horses,&c., 60l

I've noticed that I catch way more errors reading pop history books than I do when I listen to their audiobook counterparts...

#carew was master of the horse until his execution. the position then went to sir anthony browne #and william coffin continued as the queen's so idk where she even got this ......other than maybe reading this in the archives and #both confusing the date and/or not checking whose household account it was lol #this is what i was talking about re: earlier ask re: the output of pop history #it's not to say historians don't have deadlines as well but they're (rightly) under a lot more scrutiny to be meticulous and thorough #in their fact checking #but anyway i still clocked this. even just listening to this while folding laundry...#i ran out of fiction i wanted to listen to and idk ...i felt like judging lol #also i have a ton of hours left in my spotify limit and they refuse to let you have 'rollover' hours #(ie if you don't max out your audiobook hours on your monthly membership you don't get that added to the next month)#which makes me furious...
