Natalie Grueninger & Owen Emmerson offer an intelligent, nuanced, & compelling discussion of #HenryVIII and #AnneBoleyn's relationship — was it love? So impressed with their insights! youtube.com/watch?v=3EXH1N… #history #Tudors #TudorQueen

Extraordinary light in the Great Hall this morning 🤩 🌈 #hamptoncourtpalace Historic Royal Palaces




From Hatfield Park to an exclusive, behind-the-scenes tour of the majestic #HamptonCourt with none other than Prof Tracy Borman OBE, today’s leg of Dr Nicola Tallis’s ‘Young Elizabeth’ tour could not have been more perfect ❤️




I’m thrilled to announce that I’ll be launching my new book at Edinburgh International Book Festival on 22 August. Tickets are now on sale! 🎉 Hodder & Stoughton (no longer active) Alice Morley The Soho Agency #elizabethi #jamesi #tudors #stuarts #edbookfest25



Most come to #HeverCastle for the history - Josh Widdicombe came to meet the fam! In 2021, I had the joy of telling Josh that he’s descended from Mary Boleyn on BBC’s WDYTYA? UK. Today, he unveiled a 16th century portrait of her husband, William Carey - Josh’s 14x great-gramps!



Today’s the day for my double bill at Chalke History Festival Owen Emmerson Hope to see you there!

A heartfelt appeal to any fellow Chalke History Festival attendees on Sun 29th June: I lost a large plain silver ring (Birmingham 2000, size Z). It’s dented and worn, not worth much, but means a great deal to me. Please do contact me if found. Thanks so much! #ChalkeHistoryFestival


If anyone knows anything about this, please do get in touch with Owen Emmerson 👇

We spoke to Owen Emmerson about how this portrait came into his hands, what it means for our understanding of Mary and William, and how Hilary Mantel’s fictional world echoes deeper truths about overlooked figures in Tudor history. substack.com/home/post/p-16…
