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.

Never saw this episode. Very interesting.
Hold on guys, Francis will find a Roman Temple here before it’s over.🤦♂️
Leading troups to their demise from behind the lines is far from admirable. The battle are won by solders. Officers meanwhile take the credit. Ɓ
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.
F🐺rin Kazan fought Yoshitsune, Komyo ga Djihad, and Yoshitsune. Mori Benkeiyay(Yoshitsune) but perfect.
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
Hard to believe that medieval occupancy wasn't known about. Is it not in Domesday Book?
Lord, Dr. Suzanne looks fantastic here. Always a pleasant Surprise guest on time team
one of life's lil treasures to find a TT I've not viewed before edit, oops yes I have but still a pleasure
Hektor is certainly punchable. His whole being is everything Australians hate so its good he left.
Funny how all these years later, Danni Wootten as online host of the revamped Patreon-based Time Team channel, has developed a weird hybrid accent, and Dr Suzanne Liscombe is now sounding more stern and patrician as podcast host on the History Hit channel.
Hi
What was considered as the resolution and survival of legal texts in the home of early civilization
Thank you for posting this video. I enjoy all of the Time Team episodes, particularly the ones investigating sites built and/or owned by my ancestors, in this case my great 15x grandparents Charles Brandon and Mary Tudor.
He'll think it's amazing until he runs into restrictions for building on historic sites
Hektor's father is the 6th Earl of Stradbroke. But they called him "a baronet". Why??
