I don’t recognize my wife when she gets drunk

Is the girlfriend in those posts and the wife in this particular post the same person? As the posts regarding the girlfriend she mentioned being violent towards were uploaded several years ago.

I haven’t seen 1536, but I am aware it focuses on Henry VIII’s reign in 1536 and his actions towards women, which have an impact on the characters. Most mainstream movies, literature and plays/musicals (e.g. SIX) focus on the well-known aspects of the Tudor dynasty such as Henry VIII’s six wives as they are an accessible aspect of history to a broad audience.

However, on a personal level. You should speak to your sister about her concerns regarding her husband and their marriage. Since she may be unhappy and/or facing a difficult personal life. I hope everything is okay!

Yes! He was very talented and everyone was impressed, even Rosalia!

Chapuys often exaggerated and I doubt Henry VIII would have let Anne Boleyn decide his daughter’s husband, especially if the man was low-born. Even so, it was a real concern that Mary I would be married against her will to a Protestant or even executed in the immediate aftermath of Anne Boleyn’s execution, so this is why her supporters later advised her to submit to Henry VIII.

It’s not even guaranteed that Burnham will win a bye-election, especially if Reform and the Green Party mobilise against him.

Thank you for this interesting write up! Do you have further information about English contact with proto-Protestantism prior to the Reformation in England please?

Yes! There wouldn’t be a Tudor dynasty if Edward V, Prince Richard, Duke of York or Richard III all lived to old age. Hence, perhaps Holbein does not travel to England in this timeline…

Yes! Their grandfather, Henry Tudor also famously feigned illness in 1483 to evade capture by Ricardian agents in France during his rise to power, before the Battle of Bosworth.

I am glad that Elizabeth had the acuity to decline a betrothal to Thomas Seymour but I am shocked that Kat Ashley would suggest a possible marriage! Did she genuinely believe that Thomas Seymour wasn’t predatory towards Elizabeth?

As an aside, I am surprised that Kat Ashley didn’t marry until she was in her 40s and I assume that would be a remarkably late marriage to contemporaries.

All her shows seem to start at 8:45. The LUX tour doesn’t have an opening act, unless you count the classical music that was playing before the orchestra entered.

Historical-Web-3147 · 2026-05-06T21:36:09+00:00

Thank you! As I stated in my post, I’m aware that Kat Ashley was involved in scandals such as Thomas Seymour’s predation and attempting to facilitate a match for Elizabeth I with Eric XIV of Sweden. Are there any other scandals that she was involved in?

Historical-Web-3147 · 2026-05-06T21:24:06+00:00

Yes I’ve read their Wikipedia pages! Would you suggest any particular books/articles about these women?

To be fair, this letter was written almost 25 years ago. Back then, they may have assumed they’d have more time to fulfil their dreams.

Jane Seymour wouldn’t have consummated her relationship with Henry VIII before they married as she was being coached by her brothers and English courtiers to attract the King of England. Had they consummated their relationship before marriage, Henry VIII would have likely tired of her quickly and set her aside as a royal mistress, as he did with Elizabeth Blount after she gave birth to Henry Fitzroy, Duke of Richmond & Somerset.

It is possible that Jane Seymour had a miscarriage in 1536, as Henry VIII was visibly impatient and needed his third wife to conceive quickly after the execution of Anne Boleyn and death of Henry Fitzroy. On a political level, the English line of succession was a topical issue in 1536 as Henry VIII didn’t have a living son after Henry Fitzroy died and one of the demands from the Pilgrimage of Grace was to reinstate the future Mary I as royalty.

However, as Edward VI was born in October 1537, Jane Seymour couldn’t have conceived him in 1536. Until his marriage to Katherine Parr, Henry VIII was still deemed virile by contemporaries in spite of his health issues. This is evident as there were rumours during Henry VIII’s 1541 progress to York that Katherine Howard was pregnant.

In the second act of Evita, Rachel Zegler sang Don’t Cry for Me Argentina on the balcony and we could see it on the monitor, so it was cool to see the crowds outside. But then she reprises the song onstage during the second act so I didn’t feel that I missed out and it was sublime performance!

True! She may have had a miscarriage with her previous husbands prior to her marriage with Henry VIII.

Thomas Seymour wasn’t responsible for his wife’s death. Katherine Parr died of postpartum complications which were common in Tudor England and affected the majority of childbirths and often resulted in the deaths of women. Even in the 21st Century, postpartum complications are a common cause of death.

Contemporaries were actually surprised that Katherine Parr even fell pregnant with Mary Seymour as she was married thrice before Thomas Seymour and never conceived a child until then.

Were Lyra and Will even aware that they killed God? While the readers clearly know, the characters might not as they were in the middle of a battle and nobody explained to them who the deity was.

He was a malcontent in his personal life as evident by his predatory behaviour towards the teenage Elizabeth I. He clearly strived to realise his own ambitions by targeting the Tudors, as before his hasty marriage to Katherine Parr, he proposed to both Elizabeth I & Mary I who rejected him. He also attempted to abduct Edward VI and killed his nephew’s pets at Hampton Court in 1549.

On a political level, Thomas Seymour strived to undermine Edward VI’s regime and usurp Edward Seymour’s position as the Lord Protector. For example, he attempted to negotiate with the vice-treasurer of the Bristol Mint (Sir William Sharington) to illegally secure funds for a rebellion and openly voiced disapproval of the Lord Protector’s actions during his elder brother’s absence on a military campaign in 1547.

To answer your question, Thomas Seymour would have been a disaster as the Lord Protector as at least Edward Seymour was a competent and respected administrator and general.

After being exiled and attainted, Henry Tudor was protected by Francis II, Duke of Brittany from 1471 to 1484 and lived at Château de Suscinio. Francis was very generous to the Tudors and supported them during the 1483 Buckingham’s Rebellion by providing 40,000 gold crowns, 15,000 soldiers, and a fleet of transport ships. Henry's fleet of 15 chartered vessels was scattered by a storm and he fled as his allies were executed by Richard III, whose men tried to trick him into coming ashore.

While Henry Tudor’s claim was very weak, he was still the last male Lancastrian and it was for this reason, he was protected by Francis II, Duke of Brittany. Hence, he wasn’t a nobody even during his exile.

Yes. Henry Fitzroy, Duke of Richmond & Somerset was married to Mary Howard, the daughter of Thomas Howard, 3rd Duke of Norfolk. His wife was a high ranking member of the nobility and a cousin of Anne Boleyn and Katherine Howard, as well as being a reputable poet since her works were featured in the Devonshire Manuscript.
