    Thanks for the great information on Anne at Windsor. I didn’t realize that she was made Marquis of Pembroke here. That is very interesting. I visited Windsor last year and enjoyed it, including the Henry VIII Gate which still bore the Tudor Rose and Katherine of Aragon’s Pomegranate.

      Hi Elizabeth,
      I too hadn’t realised that this ceremony was held at Windsor. I’ve read so much about Anne Boleyn and about her being made marquis of Pembroke but had never researched where it took place until I came across the information while researching Anne’s connection to Windsor. I have actually come across some other very interesting information related to Anne and Windsor but want to confirm it with some other sources before talking about it here- so stay tuned!
      I also visited Windsor last year and am now a little sad that I didn’t know this information then as I would’ve loved to have thought about Anne dressed in her ermine trimmed crimson velvet and covered in beautiful jewellery while I was there. Oh well, always next time.
