alison weir is a menace and her books have had a deleterious effect on the general public's understanding of tudor history (quoting a friend there, the illustrious @annabolinas), part 12323526:

ok, so, if you're like me, when you come across a quote from a biography that you don't recognise, you will often search the quote to see if it comes up in any others, or what is available of the bho archives by general search. as such, i found this:

"[Elizabeth] told Mrs Ashley that she [had] 'loved the Admiral too well' [...]"

except...what was in quotes showed up in nothing except weir's books, author's notes, and websites.

so. apparently. as per @theladyelizabeth ...this was, as is common with weir, a complete misquote/misattribution.

the primary source in question was thomas parry, and the quote is not that elizabeth loved thomas seymour 'too well' (or...at all), but this:

"[he] loved her but too well, and had so done a good while."

#frankly calling it misattribution is too kind #she is a liar. straight up a liar. #and i hate that she keeps getting away with it

"To say that Thomas Boleyn and his children after him set out to be courtiers is, therefore, to say a great deal; they were taking the road to power, prestige and profit. Whether it was the road of honour is a different question, and most historians have felt that Anne's father personified all that was bad about the court. P.W. Sergeant's verdict that 'it is clearly hopeless to attempt a defence of Sir Thomas' may seem totally justified in case of a man who, on his way to an earldom, slipped, or appears to have slipped, two daughters in succession into the king's bed. Friedmann's judgement, 'mean and grasping', is certainly correct." Ives, E. 2004. The Life and Death of Anne Boleyn: 'The Most Happy'
