Hi @cathfletcher.bsky.social & @estelleprnq.bsky.social ! Thanks for all your efforts today. Looking forward to next week's session already!!!
📅 On this day, 11 June 1509, Katherine of Aragon becomes Queen 👑 But why do we keep pitting her against Anne Boleyn? 🤷♀️ @estelleprnq.bsky.social argues they had more in common than you think… ⚔️ Listen now 🎧 pod.fo/e/2a41cf #onthisday #otd #onthisdate #history #podcast #Tudor #HenryVIII
My publisher made such a lovely cover for the paperback of The Roads to Rome that I asked if they could also do a poster! Out next week - order here: www.penguin.co.uk/books/443108...
This book is fantastic. I finally read it last week and it gave me so much food for thought. I swear there's been a sudden wonderful resurgence of work on #AnneBoleyn, and that delights me.
