Was Henry VIII obeying God… or rewriting scripture to suit himself?
Leviticus said his marriage was sinful.
Deuteronomy said it was required.
So which was it?
And was the same argument used to annul his marriage to Anne Boleyn?

I attended a course called
'Rethinking Anne Boleyn'.
I asked Dr Emmerson about Tudor spelling conventions.
He explained that Anne Boleyn used thirty different spellings of her own name during her lifetime. #spelling

For Tudor Tuesday, the final History Leading Lady! My history obsession started with this amazing woman: #AnneBoleyn. Defied expectations, stood up to Henry VIII, & changed the world. And she gave us Elizabeth I.

Who are your favorite women in history?

She was illegitimate.
She was imprisoned in the Tower.
She could have lost everything.
Instead… she became Elizabeth I.
So how did she rise to become one of England’s greatest monarchs?

💙📚 31 March 1532: Friar William Peto preached before Henry VIII at Greenwich and compared him to King Ahab for casting aside Catherine of Aragon. He likened Anne Boleyn to Jezebel. The sermon nearly cost him his life.

I’m welcoming The Queen’s Maid: Anne Boleyn in France by Rozsa Gaston to the blog Here’s the blurb The Tudor series continues! For fans of Philippa Gregory, Elizabeth Chadwick, Carol McGrath and Anne O’Brien. A new adventure begins for Anne… France, 1514 After an enlightening period of training as a lady’s maid at Margaret of Austria’s court, Anne Boleyn has been sent to France. She arrives at the Palace of Tournelles, home of ageing King Louis and his new English wife, Mary Tudor, sister of King Henry VIII. As Anne speaks French, her main role is to serve as translator for Queen Mary. Anne’s sister Mary is also at the French court, and Anne soon learns that not everyone is pleased about the union between the French king and his young queen. The king’s cousin-in-law, Louise of Savoy, is desperate for Queen Mary not to fall pregnant, so that her son Francis will ascend the throne. And with Louise and the English queen pulling Anne in two different directions, it will not be possible to appease everyone. Can Anne successfully navigate the familial politics at the French royal court? Will she make her mark as one of the queen’s maids? Or could her divided loyalties prove to be her undoing…? THE QUEEN’S MAID is a thoroughly researched, fascinating historical novel set during the 16th century in Europe. It is the second book in the Anne Boleyn Chronicles series. ‘Wonderfully detailed and entirely enjoyable. This is a young Anne in whom I absolutely believe, and who does much to explain the woman she’d become.’ – Sarah Gristwood, author of Game of Queens THE ANNE BOLEYN CHRONICLES SERIES: Book One: Maid of Honour Book Two: The Queen’s Maid Book Three: Queen of Diamonds Buy Links Universal Buy Links Book 1: https://getbook.at/MaidOfHonour Book 2: https://getbook.at/TheQueensMaid Book 3: https://getbook.at/QueenOfDiamondsAB Series Buy Links Amazon US: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FNQHK66N Amazon UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0FNQHK66N This series is available to read on #KindleUnlimited.

💙📚 Even though she appears only in the opening sequence, Oberon brings such quiet dignity and emotional depth to Anne’s final hours. It’s one of those performances that lingers.
