*Fact check:*
There are few #English sovereigns with such a dubious marital record as Henry VIII, who fancied a lot of women and was very jealous.
A lot of historic fiction portrays #AnneBoleyn as a lascivious #adulteress. Current scientific research does not support this hypothesis.
She and her family, which rose "from rags to riches," most likely were a target of a court cabal by the infamous...
With its haunting melody, and the romantic myth that it was written by #HenryVIII as a love song for #AnneBoleyn, Greensleeves has remained popular over the centuries and today, is probably the best known of all #Tudor #songs.
However there is no proven connection to Henry VIII, and the earliest mention of the broadside ballad called #Greensleeves was not until September 1580, (some 33 years after his death). It was an immediate hit, and a number of imitations and parodies were produced in the following months and years.
Our recording uses the text from 'A Handful of Pleasant Delights', 1584 - the earliest surviving source. There are many verses, some of which contain lovely descriptions of #Elizabethan clothing and other aspects of #MaterialCulture

A version of #AnneBoleyn made on Midjourney. Not quite what I was expecting. #AIArt
Finished Katherine of Aragon by Alison Weir and have moved on to book 2, Anne Boleyn. She gets a more humane portrayal here, at least so far, which is different from the cruel version some portrayal her as. #Tudors #anneboleyn #HenryVIII #Books #Audible

My research explores the eroticization of Tudor queens in a range of popular genres, from #earlymodern letters and plays, to tv and #fanfiction today. I also consider the affordances and limitations of color-conscious #casting in #perioddrama.
