And funnily enough, even though Dee would have a much closer relationship with future queens, he will never get this high in court again.

So this is...

This is as high as he goes.

No, and if King Edward had just stayed, I mean, John Dee probably would have had a fairly normal life.

We would not be talking about him.

So then after getting his pension and his small place at court, it's kind of confusing.

John Dee goes to work for John Dudley, who is protectorate of the king.

And he becomes an advisor to him as well as tutor of his children.

So while his role at the court is small and his pension is small, he's ingratiated with the most important people.

He's teaching their children.

The future is probably looking really bright until...

King Edward died, basically.

How old was he when he died?

I think off the top of my head, he was probably 14, 14 or 15.

Oh, he died from tuberculosis.

No, no.

So if you'll remember, King Henry split the church.

His first wife was Catherine, who he had a daughter with called Mary.

And he divorced Mary's mother and had subsequent marriages.

So Mary probably feeling pretty fucking angry about everything that's happened in her life.
