Firebrand: Fact, Fiction, and Everything in Between

Tudor History with Claire Ridgway

Dive into the drama, controversy, and historical twists of Firebrand, the much-anticipated film starring Jude Law as Henry VIII and Alicia Vikander as Catherine Parr. Based on Elizabeth Fremantle’s The Queen’s Gambit, this gripping retelling reimagines Catherine Parr’s life in bold and unexpected ways. But how much of it is rooted in truth? 🤔

Join me as I separate fact from fiction, break down the storyline, and explore the film’s departures from history—and from Fremantle’s novel. Was Catherine Parr really the "firebrand" the movie portrays? And just how far does the creative license go? 🚨 Spoilers ahead!

🎬 Available now on Amazon Prime—watch the movie, then come back for the real story behind the screen.
