Evil Jane Seymour, Evil Catherine of Aragon, Evil Mary I, and of course that Dastardly Jane Boleyn aren’t even unsalvageable ideas at their core - it’s just that the market for Tudor related shit has been so thoroughly boxed into an unoriginal, incurious format that the only time these ideas are incorporated it’s sure to be in the most boring, misogynistic way possible. Oooh. A man murdered his wife. And then threatened to murder the next woman he married. And you hate the woman he threatened. Because you wish he had stayed in a relationship with the one he murdered. Wow. You’re so brave and original. Should we tell everyone. Should we invite Hilary Clinton

ON THIS DAY - 01 December 1541

On This Day (01 Dec) in 1541, Thomas Culpeper and Francis Dereham were tried for high treason, for their alleged adultery with Katherine Howard, Henry VIII's fifth queen.

They were escorted from the Tower of London by the Tower's Constable Sir John Gage, to the City of London's Guildhall. Both men were found guilty of treason, and were given the sentence of death. Due to his social standing as a member of the Privy Chamber, Culpeper's sentence was commuted to beheading; however, Dereham's sentence remained that of hanging, drawing, (beheading) and quartering). Their death warrants were signed on 09 Dec, and both men were executed at Tyburn on 10 Dec 1541, their decapitated heads placed on London Bridge.

Katherine herself had been stripped of her position as Queen 2 weeks previously; her household had been dissolved, and she had been moved to the former monastery at Syon to await her fate.

Jane Parker, Lady Rochford, one of Katherine's highest ranking ladies-in-waiting had also been arrested following questioning (led by Archbishop Thomas Cranmer), and taken to the Tower, due to her perceived role (with both Katherine and Culpeper placing the blame with her). However, within 2 days of her incarceration, she was "seized with a fit of madness by which her brain is affected". She was subsequently moved out of the Tower to Russell House, The Strand, under the care of Anne Sapcote, Lady Russell (wife of John Russell, Lord High Admiral, and mother of Francis Russell).

Whilst at Russell House, Henry VIII sent his physicians to her daily, as it was said that he was eager for her recovery, as at the time it was not legal for a person presenting with 'lunacy' to be tried for high treason; Imperial Ambassador Eustace Chapuys suggested that Jane was likely to have been tried alongside Culpeper and Dereham on 01 Dec if there had not been these concerns.

My favorite Tudor costumes (13/37):

Did Jane Parr indeed publicly mourn Anne and George?

I think you mean Jane Boleyn.

And no, as far as we know she never publicly mourned either of them.

The only sort of evidence we have that she might have is that George Cavendish in his poem Metrical Visions described her as a widow woebegone in black. We do know that her entire wardrobe when she was arrested in 1542 was black, but as many have pointed out before, that wasn't necessarily a sign of mourning then as it was a sign of wealth. Black dyed fabric was expensive, so to have an entire wardrobe of black clothes would have been impressive.

This Dark Blue dress is worn on Sophie Boettge as Jane Boleyn in Blood, Sex and Royalty in 2022 and worn later two times in The Serpent Queen on two exstra's in 2022.

Jane had every reason to feel proud of her husband's blossoming career. Trusted by his king, emerging as a politician in his own right, George was the epitome of the flourishing, prosperous courtier. Jane, as his wife, was a woman of importance. Very much the grand lady, she acquired a scholar, William Foster, who later spoke warmly of her as the 'most special patroness' of his studies.
