Jeffrey Hudson came to the attention of Henrietta Maria, the wife of Charles I, when he was hidden inside a venison pie at a banquet in her honour.
He became famous as the 'Queen's dwarf' and was considered one of the 'wonders of the age' because of his extreme but well-proportioned smallness.
Join us for this talk as we explore a life of slavery, redemption, riches, and poverty.
