Anne Boleyn, by an anonymous painter. Hever Castle, Kent.
‘On Monday the 15th May 1536, there was arraigned within the Tower of London Queen Anne, for treason against the King’s own person.’
To commemorate this sad occasion, I would like to share with you a very interesting guest article by Susan Bordo from The Creation of Anne Boleyn.
Susan’s article goes way beyond simply looking at Anne’s trial and instead delves into Anne the woman and Anne the reformer. Susan also examines the women who influenced Anne and helped mould her into the woman that would become Henry’s queen.
Susan has even shared some quotes from her exclusive interview with Natalie Dormer.
I thoroughly enjoyed this article and hope you do too!
