Has there been a shift in the interpretation of Anne Boleyn’s reputation throughout literature, particularly in 20th century writing? Specifically, has she been ‘redeemed’ or is she still blamed or victimised?
Many thanks,
Madeleine

We belong to a Homeschool co-op in the US and one of my friends (she is from England) is going to teach a class on the Tudor Time period in the fall. The class will be offered to students that are between 4th and 8th grade (ages 9-13). Is there are fairly simple textbook available that she should use as a guide. She is going to England in March to visit her parents and will be gathering materials but would like a book for the kids to use also to complete work at home.
Thanks so much!!!!!!!!

there is a new series out by kate emerson called “secrets of the tudor court”. the first and only novel so far is told from the point-of-view of jane popyncourt as she waits on henry viiis sister mary. the second is due out soon, and its called “between two queens”. i assume it’s about katherine of aragon and anne boleyn. im sure youve heard of these, but i wanted to point them out in case. you can go to simonandschuster.com for more info. theres also another author who has two novels out right now. ones called “the secret bride”, and it’s about the marriage of mary tudor to charles brandon. the other is called “the queens mistake”, and it’s about katherine howard. i forget the author, but i want to say susan something. anyway, im sure with the book titles you could find her name easy enough.

An anonymous reader has asked, “What is the borgia ring?”

I was reading on The Tudor Book Blog the other day that there are two versions of “The Sisters Who Would be Queen” by Leanda de Lisle with varying information. One has been released in the UK the other in the US. According to Lea there are a few differences:
“One is that the famous description of Jane Grey being small, red haired and smiling, walking on chopines, as she is processed to the Tower as Queen, is a 20th century forgery. There is more explanation of the events that led to Jane becoming Queen and more detail on her execution. There are some other small stories, for example concerning the death of Margaret Clifford’s mother. The epilogue is extended. There are more end notes. Just a bit more work has been done on it!”
Does anyone else have any more information?
Thanks!

I am seeking information about the possible affair between Henry VIII and Agnes Blewitt. How likely that this is true and where can I find more information about Richard Edwards?

Here is a question I am trying to answer for my college history paper, but don’t know where to begin!
“The splendor of Tudor banquets was a stark contrast to the poverty of England’s working classes. The humble lifestyle of England’s poor was vastly different from the grand and extravagant attire, entertainment, and cuisine of the royal court. While royalty wore only the most luxurious materials, the working man could not afford such finery. Scrumptious food and strict dining etiquette were present at the royal table but not at the table of the commoners. Nobility hired musicians to serenade during the banquet, but commoners played their own music after the meal. This presentation concentrates on the dissimilarity of various aspects of social life during the Tudor time period.”
Thanks!

I’m a History student curently undergoing wrinting a piece of coursework based on comparing the tudor monarchs dealings with foreign affairs/ threat of invasion with particular focus on Elizabeth. I would be very grateful if you could recommend any specific books I should be looking into? Baring in my teacher is very fussy about them being “propper books”, i.e not fiction.
Thankyou,
Rory
