About

Dr Cheryl Butler explores Tudor Christmas gift-giving, when wine, oranges and potatoes could curry favour and some presents arrived at Twelfth Night or even April.

Dr Cheryl Butler looks at the twelve days of Tudor Christmas festivities and the timing of gift-giving, which could continue until Twelfth Night or, in some cases, April. Gifts such as wine, oranges and potatoes could help local nobles seek favour. The Society schedules the talk from 2:30 to 3:30 pm.
