I attended a course called
'Rethinking Anne Boleyn'.
I asked Dr Emmerson about Tudor spelling conventions.
He explained that Anne Boleyn used thirty different spellings of her own name during her lifetime. #spelling

Fun Food Friday: Hippocras Jelly
Today’s recipe comes straight from the flavors of the Tudor court. Hippocras Jelly is inspired by a medieval spiced wine called Hippocras, a drink popular in the time of King Henry VIII.
This is brilliant. Very much in the mould of Hilary Mantel. Would recommend it to any fan of the Tudor dynasty

Everyone knows Catherine of Aragon's story in England.
Almost no one knows what she endured in Spain to make her so strong.
That's the story I wanted to tell.
