Here is a show notes page accompanying this on-location podcast to Pembrokeshire in Wales. To commemorate the birth of Henry VII on 28 January 1457, we visit his birthplace: Pembroke Castle, one of Wales's largest and best-preserved castles. It was built on a motte and bailey design around 1093 by Roger of Montgomery, a Norman knight and Earl of Shrewsbury. Although Henry VII never returned to his birthplace, Pembroke Castle symbolised Tudor's Welsh origins.
