What do Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, and the Tower of London have in common? Balthasar Guercy, an Italian physician who served both queens—and found himself imprisoned for his controversial beliefs.

Originally from Milan, Guercy rose to prominence at the Tudor court, healing some of the most powerful figures of the day. But in 1543, he was arrested for supporting papal authority, a dangerous stance under Henry VIII’s reign. Facing potential execution, Guercy’s life hung in the balance… until Holy Roman Emperor Charles V stepped in to save him.

From royal service to religious exile and a brush with death, Guercy’s life reveals the dangerous tightrope Tudor physicians walked in a time of political and religious upheaval.

Want to know more about this unsung figure of Tudor history? Watch now to uncover his incredible story of resilience, survival, and service to royalty.
