Step into the winter stillness of Hever Castle with me, the beloved home of the Boleyn family, and a place that witnessed far more than festive cheer. In today's Tudor Christmas Advent episode, I'm sharing Hever as you may never have seen it: dressed in its glowing Christmas finery and wrapped in the quiet magic of midwinter. But Hever is more than beautiful… it is the backdrop to a moment Dr Owen Emmerson and I believe changed the course of Tudor history. During the Christmas season of 1526 into early 1527, something happened here, something that shifted Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn's future, and with it, the future of England. Anne was away from court, surrounded by family, and finally had the space to reflect on Henry's increasingly urgent pursuit. What unfolded at Hever that Christmas would set the stage for everything that came next. In this episode, I'll take you through Hever's festive rooms and frosted gardens, sharing photographs taken this December by Dr Owen Emmerson and some of my own from Christmases past… while we explore how one winter retreat became a turning point in Tudor history. If you visit Hever at Christmastime, I invite you to imagine Anne here in 1526, facing a decision that would shape not only her destiny, but the destiny of a kingdom. Let's step into Hever Castle at Christmas…  And if you'd like to know even more about Anne's family and their beloved home, do take a look at "The Boleyns of Hever Castle". #HeverCastle #AnneBoleyn #TudorChristmas #TudorHistory #HenryVIII #BoleynFamily #HeverAtChristmas #ChristmasHistory #HistoryYouTube #TudorTok #TheAnneBoleynFiles #BritishHistory #CastleHistory #LearnHistory #ChristmasAdventSeries

Harriett Gilbert welcomes bestselling author Philippa Gregory into the World Book Club studio to discuss her celebrated historical novel, The Other Boleyn Girl.This novel, about to celebrate its 25th anniversary, is a vivid portrayal of ambition, love, and betrayal in the Tudor Court, told from the perspective of Mary Boleyn, sister to the ill-fated Anne. As Mary becomes the mistress of King Henry VIII, Anne sets her sights on the throne. Set against the splendour and peril of sixteenth-century England, Philippa Gregory's masterful novel explores power, desire, and the price women paid in a world where one man's whims were considered sacrosanct.Philippa Gregory answers readers' questions on what drives her fascination with women's untold histories, the clash between love and ambition in the fraught world of the English court, and whether sisterhood can survive when the ultimate prize is the crown of England.

On this day in Tudor history, 27 November 1556, Henry Parker, 10th Baron Morley, died quietly at his estate in Essex. He was a nobleman, diplomat, scholar… and the father of the famous (and infamous) Jane Boleyn, Lady Rochford. Morley's life spanned the rise of the Tudor dynasty, and he moved through it with skill: from a childhood in Lady Margaret Beaufort's household, to service under Henry VIII, to presenting beautifully translated books to the Tudor monarchs themselves. He mixed with the powerful, gifted Machiavelli to Cromwell, survived dangerous political tides, and watched tragedy unfold within his own family, yet his legacy today rests largely in his writings. Join me to explore the story of a man who stood close to some of the most dramatic events and figures of the age, but slipped into the shadows of history.

Jane Boleyn has long been called the most hated woman in Tudor history. Wife to Anne Boleyn's brother George, Jane served as lady-in-waiting to five of Henry VIII's six wives, and when Anne Boleyn fell from grace, George was accused of incest with his sister. For centuries, historians claimed Jane sealed their fates with malicious lies. But was she truly a villain or just fighting for her own life? Professor Suzannah Lipscomb welcomes bestselling author Philippa Gregory to discuss Jane Boleyn, examine historical records and explore the steps women had to take to survive in the Tudor court.MORE:Normal Women with Philippa GregoryCatherine Howard: Henry VIII's Fifth WifePresented by Professor Suzannah Lipscomb.

Philippa Gregory takes us behind the myths to reveal how Jane Boleyn became a scapegoat of Henry VIII's tyranny and the historians who defended it. Drawing on the silences of the record and the resilience of women navigating a perilous court, Gregory explores how fiction can reveal the internal lives of historical characters who we think we know so well. In Boleyn Traitor, Jane emerges not as a schemer but as a survivor: navigating a world ruled by fear, spectacle and the whims of a king who bent the law to his will. What lessons does the Tudor court hold for our politics today? Gregory impresses on us the importance of opposing modern strong-men and resisting tyranny in our contemporary times.

Gravity Let Me Go by Trent Dalton. Noah Cork should be on top of the world. His new true crime book is a bestseller, but strange things happening around him are deeply unsettling. As a major storm threatens Brisbane he's caught up in one of his own, failing to see what's right under his nose in this brilliant story about murder and marriage and one man desperate to do the best by his family, with no idea how to go about it. Boleyn Traitor by Philippa Gregory. Jane Boleyn was the sister of Anne Boleyn and a senior lady in waiting to five of Henry V111's wives. The book is written from her perspective, about their lives in his court. The story of these women as they lived through a volatile and dangerous period in service of a petulant and unreliable king is compassionate, insightful and utterly riveting, and bears some comparisons with modern days. I adored it. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sam Leith's guest on this week's Book Club podcast is the historical novelist Philippa Gregory. In her gripping new book Boleyn Traitor, Philippa seeks to rescue Jane Boleyn from the vast condescension of history. She tells Sam how fiction allows her to make plausible speculations about the gaps in the record, how she works to make the Tudors speak to us in language we can recognise, where Henry VIII went wrong — and what the Tudor court's descent into tyranny has to say to us about our own age.Produced by James Lewis.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

Grandson of Mary Boleyn. Cousin to Elizabeth I. Patron to Shakespeare's company. On 8 September 1603, George Carey, 2nd Baron Hunsdon, died, leaving a legacy that runs from court politics to the playhouse. Some even whispered he was Henry VIII's grandson. Rumour or not, Carey stood right behind the stage that gave us Hamlet, Henry V and more. I'm historian and author Claire Ridgway. In today's “On This Day,” meet the steady court insider who helped shape the English Renaissance, from border forts and the Isle of Wight to the Lord Chamberlain's Men. What you'll learn: Carey's Boleyn roots & royal connections Missions to Scotland and a knighthood at Berwick (1570) Roles that kept him close to Elizabeth I (Marshal of the Household, JP, Constable of Bamburgh, Captain of the Isle of Wight) How he supported the fleet during the Spanish Armada Why becoming Lord Chamberlain (1596) mattered to Shakespeare's troupe Honours (KG, Privy Council) and his late-life legacy under James I The enduring rumour about Tudor blood in the Carey line If you enjoyed this, please like, subscribe, and ring the bell for daily Tudor stories.

In this engaging conversation, historian Dr. Lauren Mackay discusses the life and legacy of Thomas Boleyn, father of Anne Boleyn. Lauren, who completed her PhD on Thomas Boleyn, in 2018, challenges the negative perceptions surrounding Thomas Boleyn, highlighting his significant role in Tudor diplomacy and the importance he put on his daughter's education. The discussion delves into the complexities of Tudor family dynamics, the relationship between Thomas Boleyn and Eustace Chapuys, and Thomas Wolsey, and the impact of societal biases on historical narratives. Lauren provides a fresh perspective on a figure often overshadowed by his daughter's legacy and emphasises the importance of reassessing historical figures in light of new evidence and interpretations.You can find Lauren on Instagram: laurenmackay_c16th, X: Regina_Saba and www.laurenmackay.co.ukBuy Lauren's books, shipped worldwide, from Blackwells - https://www.blackwells.co.uk?a_aid=PhilippaB (This is an affiliate link.

The tale of London in the Wars of the Roses continues as we examine the aftermath of the Battle of St Albans and the fall of the second protectorate of York; Italian merchants sleeping with married English women (allegedly), the King trying to make every hug it out, violent law students, prison riots, and a new wave of pirates- all form the backdrop to one of the most extraordinary moments in the cities history; the amazing story of how, over one later winter and early spring, one mayor tried to keep hundreds, if not thousands, of heavily armed soldiers staying in London, from kicking the hell out of one another!

When Anne Boleyn returned from the courts of Flanders to her childhood home at Hever Castle, what augury could have foretold the atomic impact that the young woman would have on the very fabric of England? Before long, the beautiful Boleyn girl had won over Henry VIII, who was willing to commit national apostasy to make her his queen. Henry risked not only wars but the wrath of God for Anne – though her transfixing influence on the King left courtiers wondering just how, precisely, she had seduced him so completely. She was a harlot, they said, that much was for sure, but might the bewitching Anne Boleyn actually be a witch? What with the unfortunate lack of heir, her violent delights soon found violent ends, and the girl from Hever Castle found herself quite literally on the Tudor chopping block.Sat Aug 2nd - Sat 30th Hever CatleHever Rd, Hever, Edenbridge TN8, UKFor info on this show & many others, head over to: musicaltheatreradio.com/wannaseeamusical

Almost from the moment her head was severed from her body, Jane Boleyn, Viscountess Rochford has been an easy scape goat for all of the drama surrounding the downfall of her husband George, sister in law Anne and the teenage queen she was executed alongside, Katheryn Howard. In reality, there is basically nothing to support the long held belief that Jane actively plotted against the family she had married into. To discuss this fascinating woman with me, I am thrilled to welcome Julia Fox onto the podcast for the first time. Julia joins me today to discuss Janes story, the truth of her role in May 1536, what on earth she was thinking when aiding in Katheryn Howard's adultery and what her actual legacy should be.

Jane Boleyn is easily one of the most vilified yet fascinating figures from tudor history. She has been, to my mind, unfairly maligned, repeatedly treated as a pantomime villain who destroyed her husband and sister-in-law. This week I welcome Laura Crow onto the podcast to discuss her play, Vile, the possible redemption of Jane Boleyn with me. In this upcoming, audacious and to use the official tagline “rude and radical" reimagining of Jane's story, Laura discusses the otherness of Jane and her equally maligned husband George Boleyn, examining how queer identity, ableism and mental illness have all shaped the reputations of these two figures.

The Boleyn sisters were red-hot English socialites in the early 1500s. Their rise and fall, one as the mistress of King Henry the Eighth and one as his queen, was shocking even by the standards of the time. Why did a bishop call one of them the “most infamous whore of all”? How did they catch the king? And how did they lose him, along with one of their heads?

Thomas Boleyn has long been painted as a ruthless social climber who exploited his daughters for power and wealth. But does history support this image, or have we been misled by fiction?   On the anniversary of his death in 1539, let's uncover the real Thomas Boleyn—the diplomat, scholar, and trusted courtier of two Tudor kings. His rise at court had nothing to do with his daughters; in fact, he was already a key political figure before Anne and Mary ever entered Henry VIII's orbit.   In this video, I'll explore the facts behind the myths, including his diplomatic achievements, patronage of learning, and role in the Tudor court. Was he truly the villain history has made him out to be, or is it time to rethink his legacy?   Watch now to discover the truth about Thomas Boleyn! Has history been unfair to Thomas Boleyn?   #ThomasBoleyn #AnneBoleyn #TudorHistory #TheBoleyns #HenryVIII #TudorDynasty #FactVsFiction #TudorMyth

When we hear the name Boleyn, we naturally jump to the world of the Tudors and one of the most famous women in British history, Anne Boleyn, but, Anne and her family didn't just pop out of the ground, there were of course many generations of Boleyn's before her, so who were they? Well today I am thrilled to welcome Dr Claire Martin onto the podcast for a discussion on this very subject. We discuss how the Boleyn family started out, what led to Boleyn involvement in the wars of the roses and how Anne's great-grandfather, Geoffrey became one of the most important men in London.

He was the grandson of Mary Boleyn, a trusted courtier of Elizabeth I, and a patron of Shakespeare's acting company—but history has largely overlooked George Carey, 2nd Baron Hunsdon.     Born into Boleyn blood, Carey rose through the ranks of Elizabethan society, earning knighthood, securing key military positions, and even becoming Lord Chamberlain, one of the most powerful roles at court. But one of his greatest legacies? His patronage of The Lord Chamberlain's Men—the very company that brought Shakespeare's plays to life!    From Hamlet to Much Ado About Nothing, Carey's influence helped shape the golden age of English theatre. But how did he rise to power? And why has his name faded into history?     Listen now to uncover the fascinating story of George Carey, the nobleman who helped bring Shakespeare's works to the world!   #OnThisDay #TudorHistory #Shakespeare #ElizabethanTheatre #BoleynBlood #GeorgeCarey #RoyalCourt #TheLordChamberlainsMen #HistoryLover

She was the wife of a Boleyn descendant, the patron of some of Elizabeth I's greatest minds, and a member of the powerful Spencer dynasty—the same family as Princess Diana. Yet history has largely forgotten Elizabeth Carey, Lady Hunsdon.   Born at Althorp, she was deeply connected to the Tudor court, married into the family of Mary Boleyn, and earned praise from some of the greatest poets, playwrights, and composers of the Elizabethan era.   But how did this remarkable woman fade into obscurity? And why was she a muse to some of the most influential figures of her time?   Discover the fascinating story of Lady Hunsdon, a patron of the arts who shaped Elizabethan culture but has been lost to history.   Listen now and uncover the life of this forgotten Tudor powerhouse!   #OnThisDay #TudorHistory #ElizabethCarey #WomenInHistory #SpencerFamily #PrincessDiana #EdmundSpenser #LiteraryHistory

Elizabeth Boleyn, Countess of Wiltshire is famous as the mother of Queen Anne Boleyn, and yet Elizabeth herself remains an extremely elusive figure. So much of her story is unknown, which is why I was so excited to learn that the very first book about Elizabeth Boleyn has been written and will be released later this year. I am thrilled to say that the books author, Sophie Bacchus Waterman is this weeks podcast guest. She joins me to discuss this fascinating but hugely overlooked figure, and although much still remains unknown, Sophie has discovered some new insights which do help us piece together something of who this woman was, so join Sophie and I as we explore the life of this remarkable woman, the mother of England's most infamous queen consort.

On this day in Tudor history, 13th February 1542, Catherine Howard, Henry VIII's young queen, met her brutal end. But was she truly guilty of treason? And why did Jane Boleyn, Lady Rochford, share her fate?   - A scandalous past, forbidden meetings, and the wrath of a dangerous king—Catherine's downfall was swift and brutal. - Jane Boleyn, a woman forever tied to the fall of Anne Boleyn, found herself entangled in yet another deadly royal drama.   Were these women victims, conspirators, or something in between?   Join me as I unravel the gripping final days of Catherine Howard and Jane Boleyn, and uncover the truth behind their tragic executions.     #TudorHistory #CatherineHoward #HenryVIII #OnThisDay #TudorQueens #AnneBoleyn #RoyalScandals #HistoryMysteries #JaneBoleyn

Did you know that King Charles III is a descendant of Mary Boleyn, sister of Anne Boleyn? And that Prince William and Prince Harry have two Boleyn bloodlines?   But wait—how can that be when Elizabeth I, Anne Boleyn's only child, died childless? The Tudor and Boleyn bloodlines didn't end with her…   In this fascinating deep dive, I'll unravel the real royal connections between Mary Boleyn, Henry VIII, the Tudors, and the modern royal family. From the Queen Mother's link to Catherine Carey to Princess Diana's descent from Henry Carey, and even a controversial theory suggesting that Henry VIII may have had more royal descendants than we think… this is history you won't want to miss!   Want to see exactly how these royal bloodlines connect?
