Was This Tudor Mansion Burned Down By A Drunken Butler? | Time Team

Tony and the Time Team help Hektor Rous, the son of 'Aussie Earl' Keith Rous, piece together the mysterious history of the family's Tudor country home in Suffolk, rumored to have been burnt down by a drunken butler in 1773. The house was owned by a significant figure in Tudor England, Charles Brandon, the Duke of Suffolk, Henry VIII's brother-in-law and best friend, and husband to Mary Tudor. They are joined by Tudor historian Suzannah Lipscomb and buildings expert Richard K. Morriss.

Hard to believe that medieval occupancy wasn't known about. Is it not in Domesday Book?

[SirAdamMeek]

Maybe something was there earlier, but if you can trace your ancestry back as far as Hektor can, those are probably family heirlooms dating back generations that were brought there

F🐺rin Kazan fought Yoshitsune, Komyo ga Djihad, and Yoshitsune. Mori Benkeiyay(Yoshitsune) but perfect.

When they find old coins hundreds and even thousands of years old. It makes me wonder how many of our modern day coins will fare. I doubt there will be any of them left. Sure Gold, Silver Cooper may last, but most our coins are made with much inferior material... Like our pennies in the US.

Leading troups to their demise from behind the lines is far from admirable. The battle are won by solders. Officers meanwh8lentske the credit. Ɓ
