Evil Jane Seymour, Evil Catherine of Aragon, Evil Mary I, and of course that Dastardly Jane Boleyn aren’t even unsalvageable ideas at their core - it’s just that the market for Tudor related shit has been so thoroughly boxed into an unoriginal, incurious format that the only time these ideas are incorporated it’s sure to be in the most boring, misogynistic way possible. Oooh. A man murdered his wife. And then threatened to murder the next woman he married. And you hate the woman he threatened. Because you wish he had stayed in a relationship with the one he murdered. Wow. You’re so brave and original. Should we tell everyone. Should we invite Hilary Clinton

24 October 1537: Death of Queen Jane Seymour.

‘[Jane] had lingered throughout the day, gradually slipping away. This time there was no respite. We have no record of Henry’s visiting his dying wife but would not expect to find one. It was not the custom, and in any case, the king was always afraid of sickness, even in those he loved. Much though he had adored Anne [Boleyn], he had stayed miles away from her as she had burned with the sweat. So, like everyone else, he had waited as the hours slowly passed and Queen Jane’s strength ebbed, her chances of survival diminishing. Norfolk, worried about how Henry would react to the news that all were dreading, had scribbled a hurried note to Cromwell, begging him to return to Hampton Court instantly. The duke had written at 8 p.m. that evening, hoping that the minister could make it back by early morning on the following day. He was sure that Queen Jane would be dead by then, but Cromwell would be needed “to comfort our good master.” There was “no likelihood” that the queen could recover, Norfolk had said, signing the missive as from “the hand of your sorrowful friend.”

And Norfolk had been right. The queen had not recovered. She had been beyond the desperate efforts of Dr. Butts and Dr. Owen and the prayers offered up on her behalf. With her weeping ladies clustered at her side, one of them almost certainly Jane [Boleyn], the queen had died.’ J. Fox, Jane Boleyn.

Tragic Women ➝ Women Executed Under Henry VII and Henry VIII

“Women who thought for themselves, did as they pleased, instead of what other people wished, brought negative attention to themselves, often posed a threat to men in power. To nullify this threat, these women found themselves on the other end of a rope, tossed into the flames, multialted by a blade, all in public, to serve as an example, as if to say this is what happens when women don’t obey.”

Cromwell did indeed speak of Jane [Boleyn] to the king, with both men writing on her behalf to Thomas Boleyn. Royal pressure persuaded Jane's father-in-law to increase her entitlement by a further 50 marks a year, with a reiteration of the promise that she would receive a full 300 marks a year following his death. However, it is likely that Thomas' concession was far below what she was hoping for and an indication that she enjoyed no great favour with the king. Shortly after the letter was written she took a post in the household of [Queen Jane], suggesting that she may have been driven to do so out of financial necessity.

Sophie Boettge

In the Source Link, you will find a complete gif pack of Sophie Boettge in Blood, Sex and Royalty. Sophie played the role of Jane Boleyn.

Jane Boleyn was born as Jane Parker, she was by birth, the second cousin of King Henry VIII and became the sister-in-law of Henry’s second wife Anne Boleyn when Jane married Anne’s only brother George Boleyn. She was known as Viscountess Rochford or Lady Rochford, she later became a lady-in-waiting to Jane Seymour, before the same position to Anne of Cleves. She testified that Anne had confided in her that she and Henry had not consummated their marriage, which allowed Henry to annul his marriage to Anne of Cleves and marry Catherine Howard. Jane maintained her position as lady-in-waiting to the new queen. Jane was arrested along with many people and the Queen after rumours about her past surfaced. Suffering from a nervous breakdown to months of mental abuse from the interrogations, she was legally pronounced insane and unfit for trial. However, Henry manipulated the law so that the legally insane may be executed for high treason, as such, Jane along with Queen Catherine were charged with high treason and sentenced to die on February 13th 1542. Jane appeared calm and serene before the end.

So, what are your thoughts on James Taffe's book on Jane Boleyn, is it worth a read? I read somewhere that it shows a more critical POV On Jane that Fox's bio (of which I have only read some excerpts)? If so, I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing, I thing Jane had a good relationship with the Boleyns and the "jealous vixen" reputation is quite unfair, but on the other side you have to admit that she could have handled things with Katheryn Howard waaay better. Do you think "Courting Scandal" is a good addition to "Lady Rochford historiography" or is it "as good as a Weir book"?

I've not read it myself, but quite a few people who are more knowledgeable than myself on Jane Boleyn have criticised Taffe for basically using sources to support his arguments that Fox proved were either unreliable or straight up don't say what historians assume they say eg. the notorious reference to "damned by the testimony of a woman" which historians have said MUST refer to Jane Boleyn but more likely refers to Lady Worcester or the other woman whose name I can't remember off the top of my head. So basically his historiography takes us back to the 1990s and 2000s.

I do think there is something of a double standard when people talk about female courtiers and male courtiers. Cromwell gets to be scheming and cool, he gets Wolf Hall written about him, his ambition is sympathetic, he gets to be nuanced and badass. But if a woman like Jane is scheming and ambitious, she doesn't get to be badass and cool, she's given bitterness and resentment that male courtiers like Cromwell don't have, no-one likes her, and at MOST she gets half-hearted pity for her terrible marriage.

Also James Taffe has behaved very badly about it, if you ask me. He went straight away to whine on Twitter about the negative reviews and how unfair they were, selectively quoting them- because of course, if he hadn't quote mined, it would be obvious that the criticism wasn't unfounded. And he knew that! That's why he quote mined! And then historians like Owen Emmerson give him kind words about it because naturally they assume he was being 100% honest and the reviews WERE mean.

Looks like Blood, Sex & Royalty rented from the costume house that The Spanish Princess sold their costumes to. Already spotted two dresses and one headpiece just in episode 01.

EDIT: Those are the dresses I found without looking any deeper. There are probably more I just didn’t spot or wasn’t sure about.

And I’m pretty sure that Mary Tudor’s headpiece is the same that Anne wears but that they added a necklace or something like it to it to embellish it a bit.

Courting Scandal: The Rise and Fall of Jane Boleyn, Lady Rochford by James Taffe

Just bought the latest book about Jane Boleyn, Lady Rochford, which was published just last week. Cannot begin to tell you how excited I am for another more favourable light to debunk all the myths, lies, and slander about the tragic lady-in-waiting. It's about time we had someone else in her corner 💜
