We have some very exciting news to share. A suite of rooms on the first floor of the Castle are currently being re-interpreted with Tudor artefacts and furnishings and will be known as the Boleyn Apartment.

The Boleyn Apartment will be the only surviving suite of rooms in the world that the Boleyn family definitely occupied

Rooms in other houses lived in by the Boleyn family, in the UK and Europe, have either been destroyed or modified beyond their recognition. Therefore, at Hever Castle you will have the unique chance to walk in the footsteps of Anne Boleyn and her family.

The grand unveiling of the Boleyn Apartment will be on Monday 25th March.

Head to our website for further information.

In 1495, the king allowed his sister-in-law, Anne of York, to marry Surrey's son in fulfilment of the couple's long-standing betrothal. This was clear evidence of royal favour and Elizabeth [Howard], who by 1495 was of marriageable age herself, also saw her own prospects rise. [...] If Elizabeth was still unmarried in 1495 when her own brother married, she gained a new companion with the arrival of her sister-in-law, Princess Anne of York, who, under the terms of the marriage contract, was to live with her parents-in-law while her sister, the queen, paid an annual sum for her clothes and expenses.

If Anne's mother was not present, it was because she was tending to the queen, who remained sequestered in her chambers, according to the traditional period of confinement. Elizabeth Boleyn did, [however], take part in the banquet held for Spanish envoys on 7 July 1517, seated between the Bishop of Spain and the Provost of Cassel and, ten days after that, she acted as deputy for Queen Catherine at the christening of Mary Tudor and Charles Brandon's first child, Frances, at Bishop's Hatfield, in Hertfordshire.

📽️ The Other Boleyn Girl (2008)

This really is a great period piece. Is it factually accurate? Who knows? 😅 But it’s so well acted and well written. I know for sure (because I’ve researched it a bit) that there are some parts that are historically accurate. But I also know that many parts are embellished for entertainment, which is not a bad thing! I just want to make sure no one treats this as a documentary. I very much enjoy this movie and would definitely watch it again.

Sex/nudity: 7/10 (for a movie about the multiple affairs of an English king, it’s milder than one would think, but there’s still more than I want to list)

Language: 2/10 (mostly God’s name, not much else)

Violence: 3/10 (brief sexual violence, some beheadings)

Overall rating: 8/10

FNAF!AU Dump:)

Ah, family picture. Isn’t that nice? Forgive how messy the sketch is.

I made Mary so nervous in this 😭 Honestly I would be too if Thomas was holding my shoulder like that-

Fun Fact; Anne was a mama’s girl. Was. Elizabeth was a good and actually loving mother to her children until she decided to dip. Being married to Thomas was probably the worst mistake she ever made.

Meanwhile, at the funeral death party...

Everything's totally cool!

Anne Boleyn Readathon

I am taking part in Escape the Readathon this month (you can read more about my involvement in that here), but this weekend (17-19 May) I took a break from my planned TBR and dove head first into into the mass of nonfiction about Anne Boleyn I’ve acquired. For those who don’t know, 19 May is the anniversary of Anne Boleyn’s execution. On that date in 1536, Anne Boleyn, Queen of England, was…

The Name Game: the title of “Lady”

The mother of Anne Boleyn is often referred to as “Lady Elizabeth Howard”. That’s NOT correct! Why? In those times, if your name was “Lady Elizabeth Howard”, you would have been the wife of a knight with the surname Howard. Elizabeth Boleyn’s mother, born Elizabeth Tilney, was married to Thomas Howard in 1472. At that time, she simply took on the surname Howard. In 1478, Thomas was knighted and…

Anne Boleyn

She became the second wife to Henry the 8th as well as the mother to the future Queen Elizabeth 1. Henry's marriage to Anne as well as her later execution by beheading (which made her the first royal monarch in England at least, to be beheaded.)made Anne a key figure in the political and religious upheaval at the beginning of the English Reformation.

Dark haired, beautiful features, and lively manners. she was educated in Europe and studied as well as lived in France for a part of her life.

She played the role of Lady-in-waiting to both Queen Claude of France as well as Queen Catherine of Aragon in England.

Anne refused and resisted the kings attempts at seductions through letters and jewels, she even flat out refused to be come his mistress, unlike her sister Mary Boleyn.

1533 Henry and Anne went through a secret wedding service. Soon after she became pregnant and there was a second, public wedding service in London on January 25th of 1533.

May 23rd 1533 Thomas Cranmer declared Henry and Catherine's marriage null and void. Five days later he declared Henry and Anne's marriage to be good and valid.

Due to this second marriage for Henry the Church of England broke away from Rome and way brought under the control of the king.

Anne was crowned Queen Consort of England on June 1 1533. She then gave birth to Henry's second daughter, Elizabeth on September 7th of the same year.

She failed to produce a male heir, the only son she bore being a stillborn.

Henry, as Catherine had warned Anne about, soon became tired of waiting for the son she has promised him and was unable to produce.

He had the marriage annulled and was looking for a new mistress/queen while Thomas Cromwell devised a plot ton execute her.

Even with unconvincing evidence, that we now know was planted and untrue, she was found guilty of relations with her brother, George Boleyn, among other charges.

She was beheaded on May 19th 1536 for adultery, incest, and high treason.

When her daughter Queen Elizabeth 1 was crowned, Anne was venerated as a martyr and heroine of the English Reformation.

" Alone with Lady Elizabeth, Anne can simply be the daughter with child, and shares a largely truthful account of the current state of affairs, and answers her mother's questions willingly. They can be honest with each other, the way women can be, in private. 'Remember this. It is in God's hands, not ours. I lost two of your brothers before George was born. Women must bear this grief, and try again. Try again, and pray. It is all we can do.' Anne attempts a sympathetic smile but cannot stop the tears welling in her eyes. 'I know,' she replies, 'perhaps God will be merciful this time. If prayer will help, there is no lack of it here.' 'And I pray for you every day, my sweet lamb, as I have always done.'
