The #Tudors also fragranced their hair & moustache too
For the poor we have #CardinalWolsey to thank for something we recognise today, an orange studded with cloves
Easy to make, hang it up!
It will smell sweet for several months

Happy publication day to Alison Weir for her wonderful novel on Cardinal Wolsey. I was lucky enough to receive an advanced copy - it’s her best novel yet (and all her novels are good!). Sorry I couldn’t make it to today’s launch! #alisonweir #thecardinal #cardinalwolsey #tudor #tudors
Look what just arrived. I can’t wait to start reading! The Cardinal by the fabulous Alison Weir is being released on 22 May 2025, so I’m thrilled to get the chance to read it early 😊 #cardinalwolsey #thecardinal #alisonweir #tudor #tudors #henryviii

If, like me, you have post- #WolfHall blues, why not visit Hever Castle’s incredible art collection and stand face-to-face with breathtaking 16th-century portraits of all the main characters, from #ThomasCromwell & #CardinalWolsey to #AnneBoleyn & #ThomasMore?
