Congratulations to WSG member @TudorQueenship on this fascinating new collection co-edited with Bill Robison. We were lucky to have Valerie host a roundtable with some of the contributors a little while ago, and it was excellent! It's such an interesting topic.

Hi, folks! Keep an eye out for my editorial collaboration with prolific Tudor scholar Bill Robison, "The Tudors, Myth, and Mystery: Embroidered Tales, Outright Falsehoods, and Popular Belief," coming from Palgrave Macmillan (Springer Nature) just in time for Christmas 2026!
