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.

Imagine calling Lady Rochford “evil”… couldn’t be me

#Jane Boleyn #Lady Rochford #it’s not that she never did *anything* wrong #it’s that her so-called alleged ‘’’evilness’’’ was the product of her being constrained by her role #if you want to call her evil then you’ve got to call a *lot* of innocent people in the Tudor court ‘evil’

JANE BOLEYN

JANE BOLEYN

Jane Boleyn, Viscountess Rochford

c.1505-1542

            Jane Boleyn was born in Norfolk into a wealthy political family. Jane was sent to the royal court as a teenager to join the household of Queen Catherine of Aragon, the wife of King Henry VIII of England. She accompanied the royal party to France in 1520 for the Field of Cloth of Gold.

            Jane was considered attractive but we have no known images of her. She was one of the lead actresses and dancers in the 1552 court masquerade which included Anne Boleyn and Mary Boleyn. In 1524, Jane married George Boleyn (Anne Boleyn’s brother) and became Lady Rochford. George was described as attractive, talented and promiscuous. He has been portrayed in modern times as homosexual, but there is no evidence to support this. King Henry VIII gave the couple Grimston Manor, Norfolk for a wedding gift.

            King Henry VIII fell in love with Anne Boleyn and the family had gained more influence and wealth which Jane also benefited from. Henry married Anne in 1533 and Jane and George were given Palace of Beaulieu as their chief residence which they decorated; they eventually sold it to the king who refurbished and expanded it.

            Anne Boleyn fell out of favour because she didn’t give Henry VIII his much desired son. Jane was married to George for eleven years when he was arrested in 1536 for treason after being accused of having sex with his sister the queen and he was imprisoned in the Tower of London. George was beheaded on Tower Hill in 1536 and Anne Boleyn was executed two days later. After her husband was executed, Jane was absent from court for several months but returned to attend to Henry VIII’s new wife, Jane Seymour. Boleyn lived in the palace and had her own servants.

            Jane Seymour died in 1537 and Henry VIII remarried Anne of Cleves for political reasons. In 1540, Anne of Cleves confided to Jane that she never had sex with the king and Jane learned that Anne of Cleves was naïve when it came to sexual intimacy. Henry VIII wasn’t attracted to Cleves and had his marriage with her annulled so he could marry her lady-in-waiting, the teenager, Catherine Howard.

            Boleyn became the lady-in-waiting to Catherine Howard, Howard wasn’t a virgin when she married the king and started a relationship with Henry VIII’s friend and courtier, Thomas Culpeper. Boleyn was implicated in the couples’ affair as she was helping them to meet up in secret. The affair was discovered and Howard was arrested and Jane was interrogated. Jane suffered a nervous breakdown and in 1542 was pronounced insane. In 1542, mentally ill people were considered too unfit to stand trial, and nobody knew whether Janes ‘fits of frenzy’ was genuine or it was just her attempt to escape prosecution. Henry VIII was determined to have her punished, and changed the law which allowed the insane to be executed. She was found guilty for her involvement and was condemened to death.

            Jane was executed on 13 February 1542, the same day as Catherine Howard. Howard was executed first, Jane was then escorted from her lodgings to the scaffold. On the scaffold she spoke and apologised for her many sins and then kneeled down. Boleyn was beheaded from a single blow of the axe. She was buried in the church of St Peter ad Vincula within the Tower of London, alongside the bodies of Catherine Howard, Anne Boleyn and George Boleyn.

            Over 300 years later in 1876, Queen Victoria had renovations done to the church and Jane Boleyn and the other victims’ bodies was rediscovered. The Queen had the bodies exhumed and placed in individual coffins and had a plaque with their names affixed to each coffin and were given a proper reburial underneath the alter.

wow. until you said it i'd never considered that koa's side would see henry cheating on anne as cheating on koa, even if they were fine with it if it undermined anne. thank you.

Yeah, the Imperial Lady emerges at very much a boiling point of sorts-- it's right after Anne's first miscarriage, so the time is ripe, and it's also just after the Pope has finally declared Henry and Catherine's marriage valid, so I believe that was a crossing of the Rubicon for those that had already somewhat been on the fence re: religious changes in the kingdom... but, unlike Jane materializing officially unto the record Feb 1536 (so, some believe this means the relationship with Henry began late January at earliest), Catherine is still very much alive and the Pope has declared for her.

So, in that case, although she's mainly referred to as Mary's supporter, by virtue of being categorized as favorable to the 'Imperial' party by Chapuys, one would assume it's the entire reinstatement, or at least leniency towards, these two women she was in support of, that she was in contact with those that were in support of their reinstatement, etc. The irony being that she's of course still a mistress herself (so how much was she Catherine's 'friend', or Mary's for that matter, who would have thought of her as a mistress even if she liked that she was causing Anne distress?), despite that she apparently didn't pay due deference towards Anne, one assumes because she believed she was no more than one (so if there was judgement there for Anne being Henry's mistress, the perception that had been only for preferement, either before marriage, or that she still was...lol).

#anon #this will sound rude but there's a lot of moral hypocrisy in this camp #elizabeth darrell was apparently very morally opposed to adultery until. you know #*there was #not unique to them but like...woof #i don't believe the imperial lady was jane but i think that's why people believe she was #similar sympathies #but chapuys describes them very differently so i'd bet money it's two distinct women #my own personal theory is it was bess harvey #among the more out there theories i saw was that this was jane rochford herself and chapuys was just confused (amy licence) which um. #sick? #like i said tho lol fringe. out there #i haven't seen that one anywhere else

[coldhardbinch]

How I always feel after five minutes of trying to understand Jane Rochford's motives

#i mean the real lady not on the show #tudor history #jane rochford #jane boleyn #was she trying to curry favor with the people she thought would outlive henry?? is that it? #or were katherine & culpeper pointing fingers?

[propalahramota]

"We need more evil women in fiction"

You guys can't even accept a morally grey female historical figure without trying to whitewash her into a clueless naive idiot led astray by evil men

#Was listening to one historian who shows up on different documentaries a lot and she voiced an absolute doozy of a claim that Catherine #De Medici had nothing to do with the St.Bartholomew's Massacre #Girl what #Are you shilling for an extinct family of Italian bankers or what #Girl just cause she didn't specifically order a religious genocide in these exact modern terms she made those dumb decisions #That's kinda on her #You can't go this girlboss de facto ruled the country except for that one time when a really fucked up thing happened she was on her 15 #Same for Lady Rochford #What a coincidink that she just kept finding herself in the centre of all the juciest court scandals despite being a pure cinnamon roll #Come ooooooon

I charge you to investigate the matter thoroughly. Do not desist until you have reached to the bottom of the pot. In the meantime, the Queen shall be confined to her apartments, with only Lady Rochford in attendance, until her name is cleared.

A copy of Napoleon’s Notes on English History, edited by Henry Foljmabe Hall came in the mail for me and it already looks so wild

Just skimming and for the highlights of English history I tend to be interested in, so far we have Napoleon just losing track of all the genealogies in the War of the Roses. Relatable.

Richard III? Definitely had the princess smothered, move over Philippe Langley, Napoleon has already made his ruling in like 1788.

Later, he straight up makes up where Henry VII gets his “claim” to the throne from. Not on purpose but it’s clear he has no idea. Probably from his mom? Who was descended from…a…daughter? Of Edward iii? Right? Sure, says Napoleon, let’s go with that

He does note some “niche” history like how Anne Boleyn was accused of incest by Lady Rochford. He doesn’t note who she’s accused of committing it with. He also later and erroneously notes that Katherine Howard was accused of incest.

Mary Queen of Scots was beheaded primarily, he says, because she was Christian.

And those are my highlights baby

#napoleon #Anne boleyn #Katherine Howard #Richard iii #Henry vii #this was compiled by napoleon when he was like 20 and there’s a lot of other stuff going on in his life #also this is just for him and not to be read by weirdos 200 years after he kicks it so #the editor also tries to source where #napoleon is getting his information which is neat too #anyway it amused me immensely

"Cease now, thou passing bell,

Rung is my doleful knell,

For its sound my death doth tell.

Death doth draw nigh;

Sound the knell dolefully, for now I die." 🕯🌹

As she knelt there and “awaited the blow,” most of those present followed the example of the Lord Mayor, Sir John Aleyn, and sank to their knees, out of respect for the passing of a soul; only the Dukes of Suffolk and Richmond remained resolutely standing. Anne was still praying aloud, “making no confession of her fault, but saying, ‘O Lord God, have pity on my soul! To Christ I commend my soul!’” Strickland cites an unnamed source that gives her last words as “In manuas tuas”—Into Thy hands. What happened next happened “suddenly”: “immediately, the executioner did his office.”

“The Queen was beheaded according to the manner and custom of Paris, that is to say, with a sword,” which was probably of the finest Flemish steel, and had been “hidden under a heap of straw.” It would have been blunt-tipped, around three or four feet in length, with a two-inch-wide double-edged blade and a leather-bound handle long enough to be gripped by both hands.

“The Queen,” Husee reported only hours afterward, “suffered with sword this day … and died boldly.” Referring to all who had died, he added, “Jesu take them to His mercy.” Even Cromwell was impressed by Anne’s bravery, and that of Rochford, and “greatly praised the intelligence, wit, and courage of the Concubine and her brother.” “She had reigned as queen three years lacking fourteen days, from her coronation to her death,” Wriothesley observed. The Imperialist witness believed that he had “seen the prophecy of Merlin fulfilled.” - Alison Weir, The lady in the Tower

very random but why did worsley choose to villainize cranmer > henry...

#i think cranmer had his shady moments but the way he was portrayed in that docuseries... like a comic book villain... we just don't know #it was almost like he got the catholique cromwell treatment #altho i think cromwell was arguably more brutal #he was not just 'one thing' in the way none of are just 'one thing' #cranmer had his shady moments like lambert and katherine howard #i actually think cromwell was pretty much equally brutal to henry but i would say he was. you know #a better husband/father than henry. so there is that #but most kings were bad fathers/husbands altho the latter not generally QUITE that bad #I DIGRESS #but obviously the blame rests with henry #primarily. re: everything. but particularly katherine howard #didn't have to do All That #also this docuseries did not even mention jane rochford did it...? in either AB or KH chapter #odd . #meanwhile we get entirety of blackfriars speech and maria de salinas but not anne's execution speech or any of her friends / ladies or any #of ANY of theirs except the usual saccharine nonsense about jane seymour & mary #i really think she just should have done a catherine of aragon docu #id anyone has ever done a standalone co.a docu...? which almost seems weird #queen consort for the longer that them all put together. wild
