𓅃 ANNE BOLEYN WEEK 2024 𓅃
day five | most underrated fictional portrayal of Anne
"Give this to my daughter. Tell her not to let them use fear as their tool. Tell her it's hers to harness and control. Fear can be fuel if you know how to use it. Fear of being unloved, fear of being unknown, too cautious, too tentative, too small, too quiet. Let your fear drive you to be bigger, louder, be the most fierce and passionate. Fly close to the sun for it is warm. I will be there every day it shines and even on the days it does not." - Anne Boleyn

Hello, hope your having a lovely day!!
I was wondering if you could write about (Fem) Reader who is Yandere Anna Boleyn's twin sister but she The Yandere Boleyn family's most precious jewel?
What will be The Boleyn's reaction when King Francis I came to English court and reader caught the eyes of King Francis I and later, became a Yandere for her? Would they allow King Francis I to marry her or not?

Hello darling. I hope you like it.
Y/N Boleyn. Younger child and third daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth. Anne's twin sister. The young Lady who was famous for her beauty and intelligence. Since childhood, Y/N Boleyn has always grown up surrounded by her family. Her friends were her two older sisters and her older brother. She was not allowed to make friends with other people. Thomas and his wife were very reluctant to marry off their little daughter. But one day saw King Francis i of France and the sweet Boelyn daughter. He fell in love with this beautiful Lady at first sight. Without wasting any time, he announced his intention to marry the Boleyn girl. Thomas didn't want his daughter to leave. But he didn't want to miss the chance to give his daughter a perfect life and the opportunity to further strengthen their family. Elizabeth was thinking of her daughter's happiness. Frankly, the only thing she wants when she wants to leave her daughter is for her to have a happy family. Mary was reluctant to leave her little sister. However, her sister's happiness was more important to her. George was not keen on his sister leaving. However, just like his mother and sister, he also wanted his sister to be happy. Anne was very angry. She didn't want to leave her sister. She would either prevent this marriage or accept it on the condition that she would go with her sister.

In October, I decided to challenge myself to produce a miniature illustrated painting each day of the month inspired by the Tudor court and the medium of portrait miniatures.
Lucas Horenbout was a Flemish artist and founding artist of the tradition of painting miniatures. He moved to England in the mid-1520s and worked as the court miniaturist to King Henry VIII from 1525 until Horenbout's death. He captured many of the iconic figures of the era and also taught the art of illumination to Hans Holbein, who would go on to eclipse him as the most famous court artist of that era.
A portrait miniature is a miniature portrait painting, usually undertaken in gouache, watercolour, or enamel. Portrait miniatures evolved out of the techniques required to craft the intricate illustrations and borders of illuminated manuscripts, and became popular among 16th century elites. From the middle of the 18th century, the trend spread across the rest of Europe remaining highly popular until the development of photography in the mid 19th century.
For my challenge, I used black ink, water colours, and 300gsm textured watercolour paper. I bought and thrifted some amazing vintage frames, mostly 2 or 3 inches high. Some are over fifty years old, so consequently there are marks and scratches on them but I think it adds to the charm and overall feel of the pieces as historic miniatures.
I'm really proud that I completed the challenge - and all 31 paintings - and wanted to share a few with you here!
You can see them all over on my website 🖤

“The bride was lovely in ivory silk and Myrish lace, her skirts decorated with floral patterns picked out in seed pearls. As Renly’s widow, she might have worn the Baratheon colors, gold and black, yet she came to them a Tyrell, in a maiden’s cloak made of a hundred cloth-of-gold roses sewn to green velvet.”
-A Storm of Swords, Tyrion VIII
Happy New Year!! In honor of New Year’s Day, here’s Margaery in her wedding dress, inspired by folklorico dress fashion, since the Purple Wedding was also a New Year’s Day event 💜😌🙏🎆
[Image Description: a full-length drawing in colored pencil of Margaery Tyrell. She faces the viewer and is smiling. She wears a full, long-sleeved light-colored dress in a folklorico style, with a red sash around her waist, lots of lace, and embellishing panels embroidered with roses in red, yellow, pink, and orange. She holds up her skirt to show off her skirt. She wears a long pearl necklace, gold rose earrings, a few rings, and two roses in her hair in yellow and red. In the background there is a gold sunburst halo around her head against a green backdrop. /End ID.]

Eloquent and lengthy speeches, put into Anne's mouth at her trial and on the scaffold, should be read with scepticism...
but the 'notoriously unreliable' spanish chronicle...shouldn't?

𓅃 ANNE BOLEYN APPRECIATION WEEK 𓅃
Day Five - Favourite Family Dynamic: Anne and her brother George Boleyn The pair were close and similar in temperament, sharing the same intellectual and aesthetic interests, and developing a passion for ‘new learning’ – the liberation from the old dominant way of thinking – that was inspired by the Renaissance. Perhaps the strongest evidence of their bond can be found in two religious texts by the French humanist Jacques Lefèvre d’Étaples, which Anne asked her brother to translate. These beautifully bound works from George to Anne still survive in the British Library, and not only suggest was a man capable of deep spirituality, but also a devoted brother. In his dedication, George wrote: “I have been so bold to send unto you, not jewels or gold, whereof you have plenty, not pearl or rich stones, whereof you have enough, but a rude translation of a wellwiller, a goodly matter meanly handled, most humbly desiring you with favour to weigh the weakness of my dull wit.” — Lauren McKay

Is it true that Elizabeth of York birth celebrated like she was a son? I have seen some historians say this.
Hi! Yes, Edward IV did celebrate his daughter’s birth as though she was a male heir (“a prince”), iirc as per the Great Chronicle.
While we have no contemporary reports at the time of Elizabeth of York's birth, we know that Luchino Dallaghiexia reported that the birth of Edward and Elizabeth's third child, Cecily of York, "rejoiced the king and all the nobles exceedingly*, though they would have preferred a son'. Wanting a son (ie: an heir) was typical for their time period, likely enhanced by Edward and Elizabeth's unprecedentedly controversial marriage, her very unsuitable origins and his own status as a usurper. The fact that he was described as being "exceedingly" delighted at the birth of his third daughter in a row regardless does support the claim that he would have gone over-the-top to celebrate the birth of his first legitimate** child.
Hope this helps!
*Bizarrely, I have seen several historians and blogs using Dallaghiexia's letter to claim that he was bitterly disappointed at Cecily of York's birth. I don't understand how historical reading comprehension can be so poor that "rejoiced the king exceedingly" has somehow been rewritten as the...exact opposite of that. With no self-awareness whatsoever. **His illegitimate daughter Margaret (known as Elizabeth for some reason) was almost definitely born before his marriage. We don't know the birth dates of his other two illegitimate children: I think the likeliest conception date for Arthur was in early 1470, but it's unverified; and we know nothing about Grace (which was in fact her surname, not her name) other than the fact that Elizabeth Woodville seems to have been very attached to her.
#ask#elizabeth of york#edward iv#queue#speaking of which#did I mention how much I dislike historians who state that one of Elizabeth Woodville's 'advantages' was that 'she was fertile'#and just leave it at that?#or dumbfuck Anne Boleyn stans who argue Elizabeth was 'safe' because she had a son (she was literally deposed twice but okay)#That is simply incorrect and a complete erasure of her actual - presumably difficult - experiences#Elizabeth literally 'failed' (so to speak) to have a son throughout her first queenship#She had three daughters back-to-back#Her first son with Edward IV was in fact born seven years into her marriage after her husband had already been deposed and in exile#It does her an incredibly disservice to rewrite her very complicated situation according to your own whims and fancies#Particularly considering the very unusual nature of her marriage and rise to queen (+Edward's own status as an usurper)#which meant that Elizabeth - like H8's wives after her - was in a far more precarious position than sonless foreign royal queens before her#And while the lack of a son clearly didn't affect her personal marriage (her husband celebrated their eldest daughter's birth#as though she was a male heir and was described as exceedingly happy at the time of their third daughter's birth;#they decided to go on a pilgrimage - presumably to ask for a son - *together*; etc)#That doesn't change the fact that they were in a very very difficult situation that having a son could have resolved/legitimized#Worries that may have intensified even more after 1469 when George of Clarence (second York brother) rebelled against Edward#I also suspect their lack of a son affected the nature of Warwick's propaganda against them during his rebellions#but that's a whole other topic of discussion#Either way: What we should never do is erase and rewrite Elizabeth's (and Edward's) very complex situation in the 1460s#in favor of an inaccurate but more 'convenient' alternate history#It's a little odd tbh because I HAVE seen such discussions for Anne of Bohemia; MoA; and Henry VIII's wives#who all struggled to have male heirs#But for some reason Elizabeth's situation is not even acknowledged - let alone discussed#funny how that happens#anyway#ik I went VERY off track I'm sorry about that
