Coming out in July. The first full length academic study of Jane Seymour’s life and queenship. Based on extensive archival research, meet a Jane who was far from meek and mild. #livesofroyalwomen #janeseymour #queenjaneseymour #tudor #tudors

Tonight’s the night! It was fascinating, chilling and poignant to be taking a fresh look at the men - and women - involved in Anne Boleyn’s downfall. And of course, if the documentary leaves you wanting more, I have just the book for you… 😉 @channel5_tv @liontelevision

If it ain’t mentioned, it ain’t on the map. Matt Brown’s Wolf Hall maps — and how they can help the way we see Cromwell's world. #History open.substack.com/pub/wolfha…

Happy Easter! This leather pouch, recovered from the Mary Rose, features an amazingly well preserved monogram depicting the letters IhS, embroidered in silver thread. This is almost certainly the Sacred Monogram, representing the name of Jesus Christ.

The literary world has long felt the absence of Dame Hilary Mantel and her fierce, generous spirit. However, last night in London, that spirit felt remarkably present as the winners of the 2026 Hilary Mantel Prize for Fiction were announced. wolfhallweekend.substack.com…

Spring sunshine at the Tower of London 🌼 Nearly 1000 years old and still looking as good as the day we were built, especially when the new spring buds start to bloom 😎

A Tudor surgeon should be able to treat all injuries, including the most deadly of all, a pie to the head. #PiDay

Mary Queen of Scots died #onthisday in 1587. Throughout her life, Mary posed a great threat to Elizabeth I, as she had no heir to succeed her. Mary was captured by Elizabeth’s army and was placed under house arrest until her execution at Fotheringhay Castle. She was first buried in Peterborough Cathedral with great solemnity by Elizabeth's orders, but in 1612 her son James I ordered that her remains be brought to Westminster Abbey.

In Wolf Hall, Hilary Mantel does something quietly radical with Anne. She gives us a single character moving steadily towards an unknown fate. #History substack.com/home/post/p-184…
