If I had not a letter to write myself, I might sit by you, and admire the evenness of your writing, as another young lady once did.

[TheAnneBoleynFiles @AnneBoleynFiles]

When was Anne Boleyn born? 1501? 1507? Or somewhere in between?
And why does it matter?
Explore the theories with me in my full video on the Anne Boleyn Files YouTube channel and share your opinion.

[Jane Austen @austendaily]

I do not think I ever opened a book in my life which had not something to say upon woman's inconstancy. Songs and proverbs, all talk of woman's fickleness. But perhaps you will say, these were all written by men.

#OTD 14 Oct 1586
#MaryQueenofScots trial began at Fotheringhay Castle

Intending to boycott it she relented, #WilliamCecil said it would go ahead with or without her

Listening as #ElizabethI's Court put their case, was she
oblivious to her fate?

Herstory https://t.co/K2MtVY32gF

[Plantagenet @Plantagenet1455]

Born on June 28, 1491, Henry VIII, son of Henry VII and Elizabeth of York, would become one of England’s most famous and controversial monarchs. His reign transformed the kingdom religiously, politically, and culturally—most notably through the historic break with Rome.

[Historic Royal Palaces @HRP_palaces]

Queen behaviour 💪 Katherine Parr was Henry VIII's sixth and final queen 👑

She was an energetic and passionate Queen Consort — a published author, loving stepmother, and outspoken supporter of the English Reformation 📚

Anne Neville was born on June 11, 1456, at Warwick Castle. Her life was profoundly shaped by the Wars of the Roses, and she is widely considered a key example of how noblewomen were used as pawns to forge alliances, secure loyalty, and advance power in 15th century England.

[Lady Jane Grey Revisited @GreyRevisited]

#OTD in 1553. The Imperial Ambassador wrote ‘My Lord Guildford Dudley, recently married to Suffolk’s eldest, one of his brothers, the Admiral and other lords and ladies, recently fell very ill after eating some salad at the Duke of Northumberland’s' #LadyJaneGrey #Tudor #History

[Jane Austen @austendaily]

A lady’s imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony in a moment.

@GreyRevisited Yes she was perfect to play Jane!
