Get Out of Jail Free Cards: The Many Annulments of Henry VIII (Guest Post)

April 25, 2018 by Tudors Dynasty Leave a Comment

By Jillianne Hamilton Everyone knows Henry VIII was unlucky in love. Not nearly as unlucky as many of his wives, of course, but Henry would certainly have considered himself the most unfortunate man in England when it came to his married life. The excuses he used to get out of his marriage varied from wife to wife. But he and his advisors were able to come up with excuses that never put the king at fault. Ever. His first marriage was the most complicated to end [More]

The Differences in the Wives of Henry VIII

September 8, 2017 by Rebecca Larson 1 Comment

Raised as the second son, or "spare", Henry Tudor, Duke of York was never intended to be King of England. When his older brother Arthur, Prince of Wales died unexpectedly in 1502 Henry was thrust into the spotlight as heir to the throne of England. His training began immediately and Henry despised the fact that his father controlled everything around him. He went from being raised with his sisters to being separated from the world. When there were discussions by Henry VII [More]

Interesting Life of Elizabeth Brooke, Lady Northampton

June 25, 2017 by Rebecca Larson Leave a Comment

As the daughter of George Brooke, 9th Baron of Cobham and Anne Bray, Elizabeth grew up familiar with court politics. Being born on 25 June 1526, during the reign of Henry VIII, she would have been around ten years old at the time of Anne Boleyn's execution in 1536. Being at an impressionable age this should have been a great example to Elizabeth of what not to do as a woman at Tudor court, or one would think. Maybe she didn't understand what was going on at the time. It is [More]

Book Review: “The Bastard Princess” by G. Lawrence

May 18, 2017 by Tudors Dynasty Leave a Comment

After much time on the back-burner I was able to read this wonderful book - Book One, of the Elizabeth of England Chronicle by Gemma Lawrence: The Bastard Princess. I'm always interested in reading books about Elizabeth's early years since it helps me see other writer's view-point on her relationship with Thomas Seymour and her mother. This book did not disappoint.   Book Summary: February, 1603? In Richmond Palace, London, the last Queen of the Tudor dynasty, [More]

Similar Fates: Anne Boleyn and Thomas Seymour

May 10, 2017 by Rebecca Larson 1 Comment

This will not be the first time I mention this idea and it won't be the last - Anne Boleyn and Thomas Seymour had very similar fates. The thought came to me one day when I was reading one of my many primary sources about Thomas Seymour. If you did not know already I've been researching and writing a book about Thomas Seymour since 2016 - a book to show a side of Thomas Seymour that no other author has dared to write about. I've even started a separate website and Facebook [More]

Tudor Queens Come to Life with Portraits, Wax Figures and Descriptions of Appearance

February 26, 2017 by Rebecca Larson 8 Comments

All six of Henry VIII's queens were beautiful in their own way. Whether it was their physical beauty or their nature, there was something about each of them that the King was attracted to. Here we take a look at some wax figures of his wives and descriptions of their appearance - we are attempting to bring the Tudor queens to life. -- Katherine of Aragon Just after her marriage to Henry in 1509, Katharine was described, perhaps somewhat partially, by her Confessor, [More]
