me, bringing home a non-fiction library book about women in 16th century France

Housemate: "You made them pull from the collegiate collection again?".

Me: whines "But it's Suzannah Lipscomb."

Housemate: "Who?"

Me: "The hot historian I like on Youtube."

Housemate: "Do you hear yourself?"

Me: "Not generally."

Yet in February 1536, another character was thought important enough for Chapuys to mention her in his dispatches—Jane Seymour. An Elizabethan writer, George Wyatt, believed that Jane Seymour used Anne Boleyn's pregnancy to displace her in Henry's affections: 'she waxing great again and not so fit for dalliance, the time was taken to steal the king's affection from her, when most of all she was to have been cherished.'

Thread on reddit where someone asked about people you're weirdly attracted to. Never really like the concept of a weird crush anyway (imagine telling someone to their face it's weird to be attracted to them) but most of the answers are genuinely just intelligent women.

"Sure, she's conventionally attractive but she's also smart/funny/competent and that terrifies me, therefore it's weird to be attracted to her."

Excellent talk about Henry VII with Dr Sean Cunningham, Henry's biographer and Head of Medieval Records at the National Archives.

Hundreds of comments and yet people can't manage to be normal about this woman even after 488 years.

watching a doc on tudor britain and there’s a pub built on an execution site where people once burnt to death

and you know what? there’s even a beer garden on the spot and a cute little hanging sign depicting people consumed by flames like the snuggly duck tavern sign in tangled

Again and again, today's popular media represents Henry VIII as lecherous, insatiable, callous, unfeeling and self-centered. The truth is a lot more complex. The character that has emerged over these pages is of a man of strong feeling but little emotional intelligence, wilful and obstinate but also fiery and charismatic, intelligent but blinkered, attempting to rule and preserve his honour against his profound sense of duty and heavy responsibility to fulfil his divinely ordained role. This was a man who channelled great loss and hurt into physical pursuits, intense theological interest and sometimes savage anger; above all , a proud, awesome, and well-intentioned but also flawed and self-deceiving monarch.
