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.

Lady Mary Tudor reunites with her father after their reconciliation. The Tudors 3x01 | Wolf Hall: The Mirror and The Light 2x01

Mary's capitulation was greeted with "incredible rejoicing" at court. Restored to favor, she was acknowledged as the king’s daughter once more and offered a sumptuous new wardrobe and a choice of servants. Cromwell returned to Hunsdon with “a most gracious letter” from the king and, “kneeling on the ground,” begged Mary’s pardon for his former harsh conduct.

Three weeks later, Mary journeyed to Hackney for a secret reunion with her father. It was their first meeting for five years. She had been a young teenager when Henry last saw her, and she was now a woman of twenty. Chapuys wrote that the kindness shown by the king to the princess was “inconceivable, regretting that he had been so long separated from her.” He showed her “such love and affection, and such brilliant promises for the future that no father could have behaved better towards his daughter.” Jane Seymour gave Mary a diamond ring and Henry 1,000 crowns for her “many pleasures.” They spent one night together and parted on Friday, July 7, with Henry promising that she would be brought to court to take her place immediately after the queen.
