The Stuart-era aristocracy were cultured, political, well educated, immoderate yet religious.&nbsp;So how did devotion and piety coexist with a lifestyle dominated by excess?&nbsp; In this episode of Not Just the Tudors, Professor Suzannah Lipscomb finds out from Ben Norman, historian and author of Pomp and Piety: Everyday Life of the Aristocracy in Stuart England. This episode was produced by Rob Weinberg. Enjoy unlimited access to award-winning original documentaries that are released weekly and AD-FREE podcasts.
