I’m happiest when surrounded by books, castles and having a good cup of tea preferably with a large slice of cake in the gift shop. Website: https://nicolaharrisauthor.com Blog: thehistoricalinkpot.blogspot.com #KU #hisfic #tudors #BookSky #EDS 🦓

Embroidered wall covering at Berkeley Castle around 500 years old. Did it grace the room used by King Henry viii and Anne Boleyn in 1535 or go with the King to Field of Cloth of Gold?

Something lovely for a rainy Tuesday (at least here in London). It’s Jane Seymour’s Phoenix badge (with a very human looking face) which I came across in a document I was researching recently #janeseymour #queen #queenofengland #tudor #henryviii

Finished it! WOW. You REALLY made Jane's terror and her tragic tenure as Queen come alive. It reminded me of Anne Stallybrass' portrayal of Jane, especially her fears, doubts and anxieties re: Anne Boleyn's fate. LOVED IT!!

granted i didnt grow up here and the Tudors arent really my thing but 'legendary' seems more than a tad overblown for Starkey, even as an undergrad (few years ago noe) my understanding of him was as the kind of vapid TV talking head historian History Boys made light of...
I must say I find his voice comforting! I have been known to fall asleep listening to David. He was the first historian to point out that the rudest word in the English language was used by Francis Dereham about Katherine Howard. And I think that was brave.
