extremely annoyed in retrospect how often the phrase 'great whore' was scripted in BE.
#elizabeth was not SO negligible that all and sundry would have called her mother that to like...her face?#she was literally second in line to the throne.#it also would have been more impactful had it been said less like i suppose i could* see henry dudley saying it probably the seymours#(we do actually have contemporary reference tseymour actually referenced it once- 'no words of boleyn' - in a pun )#but like...kparr? really?#also what she said about khoward...maybe if they had worked in more that her seymour marriage made her unfavorable to the howards?#which would have been helpful were any in the cast. to ground that#tl; dr most contemporary remarks in the aftermath-- even from those not favorable to anne-- like francis bryan#who was arguably instrumental in her downfall#referred to her as 'the late queen'#even apologists of hviii like william thomas as one of edward vi's councilors#referred to her as 'the lady anne'#idk i wish er. they had read more source material on the matter than like. carolly erickson#that's all i have to say.......
