  • My Lady Jane – A Travesty to History or a Fun Romp?
    Jul 15 2024

    Today, I’ve got a bit of a confession to make – I’ve started watching My Lady Jane on Amazon Prime and I’m loving it. From social media comments, I gather that as a historian, I’m meant to hate it, but nope, I love it!

    Based on the book by Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, and Jodi Meadows, it’s a fantasy with only a passing resemblance to actual history. Think The Princess Bride with shape-shifters and regicidal maniacs. It’s laugh-out-loud funny, packed with adventure, and has an amazing cast.

    So, put history aside and just have fun with it. If it gets people googling Lady Jane Grey, then that's brilliant. Now, excuse me, episode 5 is waiting!

  • Interesting Facts About the Boleyn Family
    Jul 11 2024
    Today, I have some fascinating facts to share about the Boleyn family, a family close to my heart. These tidbits might surprise you and give you a deeper insight into their intriguing history. Did you know that Anne Boleyn’s father inherited a unique family heirloom? Or that her mother was praised by a famous poet? There are also some mysteries about Mary Boleyn's later years. Anne herself might have met a legendary figure during her time in France, and her brother George was celebrated for his talents. Jane Boleyn played a significant role in the lives of others, and Elizabeth I honoured her mother in some special ways. If these facts have piqued your interest, I’m excited to announce an 8-day online event in November dedicated to the Boleyn family! I’ll be diving into: Thomas and Elizabeth Boleyn Anne Boleyn's rise and fall Mary Boleyn's legacy George Boleyn's life and work Jane Boleyn's controversial story Elizabeth I, the Boleyn Queen The enduring legacy of the Boleyns There will be seven talks and eight Zoom Q&A sessions, offering plenty of opportunities to discuss Tudor history.
