Book Review: Emmie and the Tudor King by Natalie Murray @natmurrayauthor @CrushLiterary

Emmie and the Tudor King (Hearts and Crowns)

Time travel + Teen angst + an Extinct Royal line = Captivating Love Story… That sums up Natalie Murray’s “Emmie and the Tudor King .”

When I received the ARC for “Emmie and the Tudor King ,” I was expecting something similar to Mark Twain’s “A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court.” In short, I was expecting a satire. What I found was something…

✨Emmie & The Tudor Queen✨ Synopsis: True love has never been more deadly in this lush sequel to the best-selling Emmie and the Tudor King. For an extraordinary love, Emmie Grace has given up her life in the modern world to move to the sixteenth century and marry the Tudor king she bravely saved from a dreadful fate. However, not everyone is pleased to see the glorious King Nick betrothed to the unknown and uncultured Emmie—especially the noblemen commanded to protect her. As Emmie is drawn deeper into Nick’s sumptuous and savage world—where beheadings are way more popular than time travelers—the Tudor court heads on progress across the country, and a growing rebellion against the promised queen looms. With life and love at stake, Emmie must face the cost of changing the path of history and realize that her greatest sacrifice is yet to come. .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My Review Coming Tomorrow! .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 𝚃𝚊𝚐𝚜: #emmieandthetudorqueen #blogtour #review #comingtomorrow #newrelease #tijahwriteserotica #bookalicious #bookish #bookstagram #browngirlbloggers #booklover https://www.instagram.com/p/CESGUPNgkb-/?igshid=vi4g95uobkgc

The Tudors: 10 Hidden Details About The Costumes You Didn’t Notice

Everybody loves a good period drama. And even more so when it's inspired by true events! No other dynasty has resulted in so many television shows, movies, and documentaries quite like the Tudor dynasty. And no other king has been the target of so much speculation and curiosity as King Henry VIII and his six wives. The television series The Tudors might have come to an end almost a decade ago, but it still remains in our memories as one of the best and most intriguing depictions of Henry VIII's life.

RELATED: Star Wars: 10 Facts & Trivia You Didn't Know About Darth Maul's Costume

A lot of factors came into play in the show's success. The political intrigue, the stunning scenery, and, of course, all the good-looking characters. But there's one thing that almost outshines them all - the costumes. So much so that costume designer Joan Bergin walked away with three Primetime Emmy Awards for her work on the show! Have you ever wondered just how many details you might have missed in all the beautiful clothes from the show? Let's take a look!

10 No Wigs For Men

It's pretty obvious that fashion in 16th century England was far from being what it is today. A quick glance through ancient portraits and movies or television series that take place in that era is enough to realize this. Custome designers often go above and beyond to ensure that they stay as true as possible to the time period they are depicting.

Related: The Tudors: 5 Things That Are Historically Accurate (And 5 Things That Are Aren’t)

However, some liberties will always be taken in order to make the characters resonate with the audiences. In the case of The Tudors, Joan Bergin made the decision to not give men hairpieces and wigs, as they wore in the 16th century, in very ridiculous fashion. Henry's credibility would significantly decrease if he wore a curly white wig, right?

9 The Rockstar Of His Time

Joan Bergin has been very vocal about how she perceived Henry VIII, and what she wanted actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers to embody. In her eyes, Henry was a rockstar, the all-powerful King of one of the greatest nations in the world. All the choices made in terms of costumes for Henry were made keeping this in mind.

RELATED: Peaky Blinders: 10 Hidden Details About The Costumes You Didn't Notice

Which is exactly why the King is often seen using pieces made out of leather and modern fabrics, tight enough to make his figure the star of any room, and extremely flattering. The kind of clothes you would expect a brave, handsome, and attention-grabbing man to be using on an everyday basis.

8 The Thin Sleeves

One of the most striking features out of all the gorgeous costumes we've seen on The Tudors were undoubtedly the gowns. Queens, princesses, and ladies of the court alike were all highborn and often seen rocking the kind of dresses most of us can only dream of wearing. Not to mention, of course, all the opulent jewelry.

Related: The 10 Best History Podcasts Out Right Now

There was, however, slight creative liberty taken by the designer. While at the time, fur sleeves with very large apertures tended to be the norm, the sleeves we see on the show are thin and dainty. This is something more likely to be witnessed during the Elizabethan era - curiously enough, when Henry VIII's second daughter, Elizabeth, ruled.

7 The Clothes Speak For The Character

Careful inspection of the costumes a second time around might give you a little more insight than you would expect into who the characters are, and what their lives are going to look like. One of Joan Bergin's favorite parts of working on the show was the freedom to design clothes that gave away something about the characters' moods and fate.

A great example of this is Henry's second wife, Anne Boleyn. Throughout her run on the show, Anne's character goes through a very complex journey. We get to see her evolve from a highborn lady to the woman who conquered the King's affection and, eventually, his wife. All of this development is interpreted through her clothes, particularly when she peaks as Queen.

6 The Masquerade

Back in the first season of the show, audiences were eager to follow the forbidden love story between King Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn. Even though everyone who knows a little bit about history knew exactly what was going to happen, the show was so good it managed to keep fans hooked - a lot of it due to the chemistry between the two actors.

Related: 10 Best Historical Dramas To Stream On Netflix

There is a particular scene during which Anne catches the King's eye for the first time, during a masquerade party of sorts. The costumes are angelic and beautiful. And, as it turns out, they were inspired by Degas & Balenciaga's corsets. Curiously enough, the inspiration for the corsets was the Elizabethan era.

5 Real-Life Inspiration

We can't even begin to imagine the work that goes into costume designing in general. But especially when we're talking about a period piece, where everything is so beautiful, opulent, big, and particular. Add the need to dress dozens of main characters and hundreds of extras, and you've got your work cut out for you!

Before the costumes for The Tudors began being designed, a lot of research was conducted into the time period in question. Joan Bergin read many journals that were written by people at Henry's court in order to get a better grasp of how things looked, and how she could translate that onto the screen.

4 The War Wish

Particularly at the beginning of the show, Henry is introduced to audiences as a man who is still young, vigorous, and thirsty for power. By all accounts, this sounds like a very accurate depiction of the real Henry VIII. And what young, vigorous King who wishes to bring glory to his name and country doesn't dream of war?

Related: The 10 Biggest Twists In HBO History

The costume designer was very much aware of this and made sure the clothes had a very particular nod to Henry's wish of going to war. If you look closely, the King's clothes are filled with tiny military details, including leather and moleskin.

3 Coronation Fit For A Queen

Anne Boleyn's coronation was the event she waited a lifetime for. And unlike Henry's next Queen, Jane Seymour, who was forced to wait until both money and proof that could bear an heir materialized to be crowned, Anne was awarded an expensive, lavish, opulent coronation truly fit for a Queen.

And of course, her costume had to be all of these things. The dress worn by Natalie Dormer is almost two centuries old, made almost entirely of silver. Plus, the stunning jewels that covered Anne Boleyn during her coronation are worth a whopping $65,000 - not something you would casually wear to the store!

2 European Influences

England wasn't exactly well known for being the most stylish country out there. When one thinks fashion and elegance, your mind inevitably wanders to places like France, Italy, or Spain. Even though things have changed and fashion is now a completely spread-out phenomenon without defined borders, at the time, English fashion was harsher and gloomier than the rest of Europe.

Related: Game Of Thrones: 10 Hidden Details About The Costumes You Didn't Notice

In order to somewhat counteract this, the costume designer slowly started to bring more European influences into the clothes worn by the characters, creating a softer and more exquisite overall look for everyone.

1 Hinting At Mary's Fate

Mary Tudor, Henry VIII's first daughter, had a tough life. She saw her mother cast away from her place as Queen, she was relegated to the role of a bastard, and her father never truly cared for her. Even though for a time she seems to become close with her father, things slowly begin to shift.

A time finally arrives when Mary realizes she will never be Queen (even though she eventually did), and this transition between happier times with Henry and this tragic realization are all present in her costumes. She slowly moves from wearing more colorful pieces and low necklines to much darker clothes and accessories, hinting at the inner pain she's feeling.

[wefoundloveunderthelight]

I had the opportunity to read some early works by Natalie a few years ago and was always drawn to her style of writing "Fan fiction". So I was immediately interested when I heard she was writing a new novel. I had the opportunity to get a hold of a review copy of "Emmie and the Tudor King" and quickly dove right in. I will admit that I was unsure if I would enjoy the Tudor's as their time was never an interest to me. My fears were quickly erased as I was thrust into the time of King Nick and a world I suddenly found fascinating due to the descriptive storytelling that Natalie presented. But while Nick is a smoldering and fascinating leading man, Emmie holds her own as an adorable but stubborn and independent girl who kept my interest tuned in and me turning page after page to find out what was going to happen with her and the Tudor King. For two days I was rushing home from work to read more pages and get drawn even further into their intriguing story. If you want to get lost in a story full of romance, comedy, and heart, look no further than "Emmie and the Tudor King". You'll be begging for the next book to be ready before you even finish the last words on the page! https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/43783633-rmmie-and-the-tudor-king https://www.instagram.com/p/BwTPoCcFd71/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=9uhb4dw14pb8

Hollywood History: Historical Figures on Screen vs. in real lfie - TV Tropes

There has been many, many biopics and historical dramas on TV or in films. We see historical figures played by good looking actors and actresses all the time; it is almost as if a historical figure is portrayed on screen, he or she cannot be too hideous thanks to the make-ups and historically inaccurate but sexy and glittering costumes designed with the goal of garnering an Oscar/Golden Globe/Emmy nomination for best make-up or best costume design.

But exactly how exaggerated are the beauties of the historical figures, who are best known for their accomplishment in history rather than their looks? In TVTropes, there are three tropes apply to this: 1) historical beauty update, 2) adaptation attractiveness, and 3) Hollywood homely

Historical Beauty Update: this is the most common in historical dramas, where a historical figure’s beauty is defined by modern standards rather than the standards of his/her contemporary; or, we can say that the historical figure wasn’t bad looking but definitely not this sexy or beautiful

Example - Lady Anne Boleyn from The Tudors (Natalie Dormer): In “The Tudors”, Lady Anne Boleyn was portrayed by actress Natalie Dormer who is gorgeous, sexy with blue eyes. No doubt the main reason Henry was in love with her was her beauty and sexual appeal. In real life, Lady Anne Boleyn’s most attractive feature was her personality. Compared to Dormer, Anne Boleyn was a bit too thin and pale in to modern day standards. She wasn’t ugly but definitely not a beauty like Dormer.

Adaptation Attractiveness: you saw this historical figure on screen and you’d think that this historical figure must be very beautiful. But wait until you see their really look. This is where a historical figure is by no means good looking but portrayed by a stunningly good-looking actor or actress.

Example - King Francis from Reign (Toby Regbo): In TV series “Reign”, King Francis II of France is a prince every teenage girl would’ve dreamed of. Historically, however, Francis was rather fragile and small and stuttering. In the picture below, he looked rather young for his age. We wouldn’t call him ‘ugly’ but he was a far cry from being tall, blond, handsome, and determined. 

Hollywood Homely: the historical figure is supposedly plain or not the prettiest but more or less for sake the show/film’s plot and drama. However, after seeing the character that is supposedly ‘not good looking’, we might have other opinions. Interesting point is that historically, this historical figure may not be plain at all or might even be quite pretty. At time, it prompts audience to wonder what the historical figure really looked like.

Example - Lady Anne Neville from “The White Queen” (Faye Marsay): She wasn’t unattractive but the character Lady Anne Neville knew her short-comings in beauty competition to Elizabeth Woodville and later Elizabeth of York in Episode 10, where she is supposed to be plain and barren compared to the young, healthy, beautiful Elizabeth of York. But looking at the the picture below, we wouldn’t say that Lady Anne was plain or unattractive, though we can say that for the costume she wore (what in the world is it....). We must remember that “The White Queen” is not historically accurate and is more of a drama about love, sex, war, scheming, magic, and incest within a large, extended messed Plantagenet family. But historically, what does Lady Anne look like? Well, the best known picture of her we have is the second picture below. Not very telling is it? The only other clue is that she was said to be looking ‘identical’ to Elizabeth of York when they wore the same dress. Now, if Elizabeth of York was a beauty, then Lady Anne should be too. Agree or disagree, it’s left to our imagination.
