Thank you for insightful and intelligent Q & A - was truly engaging. Looking forward to the book - nuances of real documents brings extra light to so many moments that was painted in black and white before.
I'm writing a paper on the agency for power regarding Anne Boleyn and Lady Margaret Beaufort. Loved listening to this to flesh out my understanding of Anne. Thank you!
What a wonderful discussion!! At 34:23, Suzannah says that "adultery by a queen is not a capital offense": Anne was not executed for adultery, but for mentioning the king's death. I'm curious, then, what the legal rational for Catherine Howard's execution was. I know there was a Bill of Attainder, but if adultery wasn't treason for a queen, why was Culpeper executed?
What makes the 2 of you dislike Jane Seymour? She seemed to be a peacemaker who brought 8th's daughters back into the line of succession and treated then kindly. While Anne was so cruel to Mary.
