I think in the modern period, post sexual revolution, we underestimate the sizzling power of words like 'whore' and 'concubine.'

In Tudor England, the worst thing you can call a woman is a whore. In the modern day it's very rude, but in the Tudor period, people sued over these insults. Call a woman a whore and you may well find yourself in court for slander- especially as it insults her whole family. Call a woman a whore in front of her man or male relatives and you may lose an eye or even end up dead.

Anne's anger about being insulted in this way is not sensitivity or excessive pride on her part. Any woman in her position would have felt equal outrage.

TUDOR WEEK 2024

Day 5 - Friday, 18th of October: Favourite Tudor Iconography - Catherine of Aragon's Pomegranate

But although she was almost fourteen by the time she saw the golden walls of Granada again, the city was clearly very important to Katherine. When she left her homeland to marry abroad, she had to choose a personal badge. She chose the pomegranate. She never said why. Yet while she probably had many reasons for her choice, we have a clue to one of them: the Spanish word for pomegranate is “granada.” -- Sister Queens: The Noble, Tragic Lives of Katherine of Aragon and Juana, Queen of Castila by Julia Fox

“Blessed Catherine of Aragon & Princess Mary Tudor (later Mary I of England )”

I wanted to honor the memory of Queen Catherine of Aragon & Princess Mary Tudor. I created a little piece of art inspired by one of the pieces of the Litany of Loreto, which is a series of needlework depicting Virgin Mary. Link to original needlework : https://royal-needlework.org.uk/litany-of-loreto/

"Why should that surprise you, Henry? You have not always been kind to her. I have wept so often to see her alone, abandoned by her father."

Dark! Male Catherine of Aragon and Male Anne Boleyn x Queen Reader

You became the heiress of England after the death of your older brother, Arthur.

That's where you get married to your betrothed, Charles of Aragon at a young age, then become the rulers of England, with you as the queen of England and him as your king consort.

You can't deny his kindness towards you, and how he stood with you during the loss of your children.

But you didn't fall for him even after giving birth to Mary who managed to survive infancy.

The reason why you couldn't love him is due to his possessive attitude, and the many fights you had due to him believing that you are having affairs with other men.

Also, you are pressured to have a son by your advisors because the next rulers can't also be a woman.

You always tried your best, but eventually found yourself attracted to another man, Anthony Boleyn.

Even though, you tried to avoid him, it was hard, with his seductive words, charm, and how close he is to you in age.

Anthony manipulated you in believing that Charles of Aragon is too controlling and that he heard that your husband is cheating on you with the Spanish ambassador's daughter.

You couldn't be with Anthony while married.

So, you asked Charles to annualize your marriage and as expected he refused and threatened you.

Which led to you exiling him and forcing the church of England to annualize the marriage.

Finally, you end up with Anthony...however, he was worse than your first husband.

He literally killed off any one he thought of as a competition or kicked them out of court.

Anthony seized power in the court, that he even dared to take decisions without informing you.

Charles Brandon, your childhood friend and brother in law, is the one who told you what is happening.

Realizing how you were manipulated, and the moment you gave birth to Elizabeth, you made a decision.

You ordered the execution of Anthony for treason.
