The Tower of London Interestingly enough, the sources in my PhD suggested many different ages for Jane which reflects uncertainty - some said 16, some said 18!

I am researching C17 sources for my thesis atm and it is so interesting to see how later generations conceptualised the queens in my study

Some C17 historians suggested that Anne Boleyn was born in London, rather than at either Blickling or Hever, a suggestion that Warnicke refers to in her brilliant book “Wicked Women”.

Edward VI was born on this day in 1537. He still remains a neglected figure in Tudor history - an edited collection on various aspects of his reign would be very welcome.

I’m really excited to say that I’ve approached some publishers about a new Tudor history book that I think will be very interesting! Using my language skills

King John died #OnThisDay 1216. "He was a very bad man," said a contemporary, "more cruel than all others. He lusted after beautiful women and... shamed the high men of the land, for which reason he was greatly hated. Whenever he could he told lies rather than the truth."

Excited for the Sixteenth Century Society conference next week - I will be talking about Italian representations of the executions of Queens Anne Boleyn, Katherine Howard, Jane Grey, and Mary, Queen of Scots 👑

I am loving seeing Jane Seymour’s Tau cross, IHS brooch, and red outfit recreated in Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light. Can’t wait for the rest of the costumes!

Really enjoyed presenting on Italian representations of Tudor queens’ executions at #SCSC2024

Really interesting read: somegreymatter.com/history-and-ra…

On the anniversary of Mary's death, I was happy to read today's article. It was a privilege to be part of Emma Rutherford's team that reidentified this beautiful miniature as Princess Mary. Displayed at Compton Verney.

Was Lady Jane Grey buried at the chapel of St Peter ad Vincula at the Tower of London, as often suggested? Some new research suggests not and I look forward to reading it when published

Interesting article that suggests that Lady Jane Grey was not buried at the Chapel of St Peter ad Vincula at The Tower of London after her execution in 1554: academic.oup.com/nq/advance-art…

Today marks the quatercentenary of the death of James VI of Scotland and I of England at Theobalds House, aged 58. Mary, Queen of Scots is a central figure in my doctoral research, including the ways in which James interacted with his mother’s controversial memory and legacy.
