Anne Boleyn's Household with Dr Nikki Clark
Manage episode 423266380 series 3511828
Dr Nikki Clark is a historian and lecturer at Chichester University. Sher joins me today for a fascinating discussion about Anne Boleyn’s household, from who made up Anne’s retinue, what roles they played, how these came about, and how things changed as Anne ascended through the court of King Henry VIII, before her momentous fall in May 1536. We discuss specific members of the court who served Anne, some of which are well known to us, like Jane Boleyn, Lady Rochford, while others are all but forgotten by history, but all played a role in serving the woman who the late Eric Ives described as the most influential queen consort in English history.
