Episode 1 in a brand-new @HRP_palaces #podcast series on the three Thomases who changed Tudor England is available now. It was spine-tingling to chat to the brilliant @ENortonHistory about Henry VIII’s all-powerful chief minister Cardinal Thomas Wolsey in the palace that he built

Tonight’s the night! It was fascinating, chilling and poignant to be taking a fresh look at the men - and women - involved in Anne Boleyn’s downfall. And of course, if the documentary leaves you wanting more, I have just the book for you… 😉 @channel5_tv @liontelevision

An unforgettable evening at @pborocathedral It’s the burial place of Catherine of Aragon but the audience gave the Boleyns (and me) a warm welcome. Giving a talk with the world’s largest dinosaur breathing down my neck was definitely a first 🦕 @WaterstonesPB @historywjackson

It’s Cromwell Liberation Day! 🎉🎉🎉After 12 weeks of post-op confinement, he can finally run free, feel the wind in his fur and chase foxes to his heart’s content. Clearly he doesn’t want to rush into anything though… 💤🐾

Jane Seymour, the third wife of Henry VIII, was queen of England for only seventeen months, something which has accounted for the little interest shown in her by historians. In her lifetime, however, she was a significant political figure, while her legacy and memorialization extended beyond her early death following childbirth in October 1537. Jane Seymour: Patronage, Material Culture and Image Crafting is the first full length academic study of Jane’s life and queenship. Using extensive archival research, it pulls together all of the surviving information to provide both a biographical and a thematic account. Chapters include a consideration of Jane’s queenship and political role, her material cultural environment, her household, her financial position and her religion, before also considering her afterlife and attempts to commemorate her both officially and unofficially. In doing so, the book banishes many myths that have grown up around the queen, most notably ideas of her passivity and powerlessness and also often repeated (but unsubstantiated) claims of her conservative religious outlook. This book presents a picture of Jane as an active and highly political queen consort. The book is a valuable resource for students and established scholars since it adds considerably to knowledge of the queen and re-inserts her into the heart of the dynasty, while also drawing pertinent conclusions on sixteenth-century queenship. Out in July 😊 @routledgebooks #livesofroyalwomen #janeseymour #queenjaneseymour
