Book Review: “The Raven’s Widow” by Adrienne Dillard

January 12, 2018 by Rebecca Larson 1 Comment

It is through my connections to the Tudor world online that I ran into author Adrienne Dillard.

Jane Boleyn: Victim of History

December 3, 2015 by Rebecca Larson 7 Comments

Lady Jane Parker was born in Norfolk around 1505 to Henry Parker, 10th Baron Morley and Alice St John. Her family was wealthy, well-connected, and respected by their peers. As a noblewoman, we can assume that Jane's education included reading, writing, religious instruction and courtly entertainment like... dancing, singing and playing an instrument. Jane joined the English court in her teens to likely serve as a Maid-of-Honor to Queen Katherine of Aragon. We first he [More]
