I am a graphic designer working for a childrens publisher in london. I am looking for images for a book cover. The book is a gorgeously sensuous and classy historical novel about a key period in the life of Elizabeth I.
Were looking for a 16-18 year old girl in a big, flowing, period costume dress (1547-1549), with luxurious detailing on the bodice, and an overall sense of the intrigue and opulence of the Tudor court.
Do you know of any photographers or places that may have these sort of images?
Best wishes.
Michelle

I recently read that Henry VIII was in debt and had a history of gambling and overspending. Do you know if Henry VIII did in fact die in debt? Or if you could share some examples of his extravagant overspending? I would greatly appreciate it.
Cheers,
Mandi

I recently read that Henry was so fat in his later years that his bed was 4 meters wide and that he needed ropes and pulleys to help him get in and out of it. Is this true? And do you know around when this would have happened?

Was there ever any mention (pro/con) that since Henry VIII claimed to not be married to Anne because of a convenient covenant that he had an affair with her sister, then how could she have been unfaithful (real or concocted) to him?
Thank you,
Roxanne

Hello!
I need help finding pictures of peasant wedding dresses during the Elizabethan Era. I just need about 3-5 so I can talk about the upper and lower class weddings. I have already found the upper class wedding gowns; however, nobody seems to have any pictures of peasant and lower class wedding gowns.
Thank you!
Nick

Did Mary the sister of Henry marry Louis the king of Frace and Margaret marry James the king of Scots? In “The Tudors” they do not mention Mary just Margaret who got married to the old king of Portugal and strangeled. How can I get the correct story about his sisters?

I’m teaching Tudors in a few weeks and would like some Tudor themed baking/cooking activities to do with some of my children (they are 9-10 years old). I’ve bought the book you recommended to the homeschooling mother previously, but I wondered if you had any other ideas?

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
