Do Anjou's Margaret have any female friends?

Yes, this is quite well-known about her. It is really hard to determine the quality of any relationship, especially women who are often elided from the official record but we know enough to say that Margaret did have friendships with women. Katherine Vaux, one of her ladies in waiting, remained with her until her death before returning to England which suggests a great degree of loyalty. Margaret's friendship with Alice Chaucer, Duchess of Suffolk is also well-known. We don't know how friendly Margaret was with Jacquetta of Luxembourg as discussed here but it's possible there was a friendship. We also have a letter written by Cecily Neville, Duchess of York when Margaret was pregnant with Edward of Lancaster (1453) which is surprisingly warm and personal. It's not proof they were friends but also it rather disproves the idea that they were always enemies.

Getting ready for the Booklr Reads Australian challenge. These are a selection of Aussie books I own (fiction on the left, nonfic on the right) which I'll be choosing from during the month. I'm a mood reader so I have no idea what I'll actually end up picking but I'd like to get through at least a few of these.

List of titles and brief descriptions of each is below the cut for anyone looking for ideas for their own Australian reads.

The open book is The Tea Chest by Josephine Moon (my current read.) It's a rather sweet novel revolving around four women who's lives in Australia have been disrupted and who come together to open a tea shop in London.

A true History of the Hula Hoop by Judith Lanigan The book weaves together two parallel stories, one of Catherine, a struggling Aussie hula-hooping performance artist, and the other of Columbina, a feisty 16th century Italian female clown travelling through Europe with the first ever commedia dell'arte troupe, while also weaving in the history of the hula hoop.

Without Further Ado by Jessica Dettmann A romcom inspired by/paying homage to Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing, in which the protagonist loves the Kenneth Branagh adaptation and finds her love life mirroring the plot.

Angelika Frankenstein Makes Her Match by Sally Thorne A romance inspired by Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, in which Victor Frankenstein's sister Angelika is anxious for love and decides to take matters into her own hands and create a suitable suitor.

Empires by Nick Earls This novel spans continents and centuries. It's split up into 5 parts, each occurring in a different time and place, but which all intertwine and connect. It's about two brother from Brisbane who've lead separate lives, but its also about humans in strange and difficult times, the way people see themselves, and the interconnectedness of all things.

The Tea Ladies by Amanda Hampson A cosy mystery set in 1965 Sydney. It follows a group of tea ladies who work in a fashion house getting tea and biscuits for the staff. Until a murder occurs in the building and the tea ladies become accidental sleuths.

Top End Girl by Miranda Tapsell Larrakia Tiwi actress Miranda Tapsell's memoir about her work and life as an Aboriginal woman and how she combined both when creating the film Top End Wedding.

Girt by David Hunt A humorous look at Australian history, from megafauna to Macquarie. Full of strange, ridiculous and bizarre stories.

Harlem Nights: The Secret History of Australia's Jazz Age by Deirdre O'Connell This is the story of the Sydney and Melbourne legs of American jazz band The Colored Idea's ill fated Australian tour in 1928. It's about the international rise of African American jazz, the history of Australia's entertainment industry and modernism in the arts in Australia, and the influence of the White Australia Policy beyond immigration issues.

Flash Jim: The Astonishing Story of the Convict Fraudster Who Wrote Australia's First Dictionary by Kel Richards This is a biography of conman, pickpocket and thief James Hardy Vaux who was sent to Australia as a convict. Not only does it go into explanations of his numerous crimes but also the origins of Australian English as Vaux also created a dictionary of the criminal slang of the colony, some of which can still be seen in modern Australian language.

Great Australian Mysteries by John Pinkney A collection of Australian true crime mysteries including inexplicable disappearances, unsolved murders and scientific enigmas.

Notorious Australian Women by Kay Saunders This book celebrates the lives of some of Australia's most fearless, brash, and scandalous women, including bushrangers, courtesans, and writers, amongst others.

Hi, i want to know how does elizabeth of york live after her death? After the queen's death, no one provided them with an annuity.

Hi! I'm assuming your question is about what happened to Elizabeth of York's household after her death.

Following her death, Henry [VII] settled several of Elizabeth’s outstanding obligations. In April 1503, the king paid wages to several of the queen’s attendants: £68 to her ladies and gentlewomen, £47 12s 4d to the servants of her staple, and £3 6s 8d to her dry nurse (perhaps the woman who attended her during her last illness). He also paid some of her debts: £100 to Steven Jenyns for pledged jewels, £30 to James Jentille, and £120 to William Halybrand for pledging out certain plate (Arlene Okerlund).

That seems to be the standard for Henry, he also kept paying for Arthur's debts/expenses well over a year after his son's death. As to what happened to Elizabeth's household servants afterwards is that they simply weren't dismissed from court. Some of them entered into the service of the king, others into the service of Prince Henry (such as Elizabeth's illegitimate brother, Arthur Plantagenet), others entered into the service of Princess Margaret and went with her to Scotland and others remained in the service of Princess Mary (such as Joan Vaux, Lady Guildford, who remained with Mary until her marriage to the king of France, for example).

The only servants that come to my mind that were not easily employed elsewhere were her minstrels, but they kept receiving a reward from the king each year at New Year's.

The Name Game: the title of “Lady”

The mother of Anne Boleyn is often referred to as “Lady Elizabeth Howard”. That’s NOT correct! Why? In those times, if your name was “Lady Elizabeth Howard”, you would have been the wife of a knight with the surname Howard. Elizabeth Boleyn’s mother, born Elizabeth Tilney, was married to Thomas Howard in 1472. At that time, she simply took on the surname Howard. In 1478, Thomas was knighted and…

"I really am just considering giving up, darling. All of this stress really doesn't feel worth it." He huffs, the grip upon his drink tight enough to turn knuckles white - Vaux's habit of repressing anger instead of properly showing it evident in the moment." Maybe I should just work on the market instead or... I don't know, serving some pompous asshole"

He looks at himself in the mirror. Slender fingers combing through his silvery curls. A slight scowl creases his features as the curls lay wrong, again. With a sigh he dips his hand in the water basin once again running fingers through his hair.

He’s listening of course. He always listens to his companion’s ranting. Luck seemed to shine more slowly for the tailor than it had Astarion. Ever since the gala he’d made such impression that he’d been offered magistrate position that he’d so coveted.

“Or… you could simply cease worrying and just create”, he said as he glanced at the reflection of his companion.

“Really darling with my wage you need not worry too much! Business will pick up I promise! Did you not make appointment with that Dwarvin Lord’s wife? Lady Bungle or whatever her ridiculous name was?”, he added as he huffed giving up on taming the rebellious curl.

Turning he strode over to Vaux and placed hands upon his slender shoulders before pressing an ever so soft kiss to his forehead.

“All will be well, I promise. Have I ever lied to you?”, he said with a crooked smirk.

“Now I believe you’ve enough wine for the moment. Why don’t you show me what you’ve designed so far hmm? You do know how much I enjoy your drawings”.

In November 1530, the pursuit of a papal dispensation and annulment was still on the cards. Once more, papal legates were sent to England and, once again, the negotiations and discussions dragged on. Meanwhile, Wolsey made a bold move that would cost him even more than his titles, lands and wealth. The cardinal was accused of contacting the Pope to ask ‘to excommunicate the king and lay an interdict on his kingdom, unless he immediately dismissed the Lady Anne from court’. Wolsey’s aim was to inspire an uprising throughout the country, and ‘in the midst of confusion seize again the reins of government’. De Vaux, the French ambassador whom Wolsey believed to be an ally, was in fact some sort of double agent, and reported the news, blaming the cardinal for ‘his malignity and bad conduct’. With this evidence, and the gravity of the accusations made against Wolsey, his arrest was imminent. There was nothing he could say or do to save his life.

Vaux's sat, one leg elegantly crossed over the other, the teacup in his hand momentarily ignored for his concentration remains on his most prestigious company. Breaks among fittings and design sessions are common, chatter betwixt the two commonplace for Vaux can offer insight into the motions of the public and their current machinations.

"Indeed. Her Ladyship ought not be writing such viciousness, however." A single shoulder rolled, a strained injury from moving large bolts giving the tailor a silent discomfort he does well to ignore, for now. "Sullying her Majesty's name is... not a very lady-like thing to do - - and the problem that arises is that she seems to have a growing following."

He takes pause, placing the teacup in his lithe fingers down onto the small table aside him, humming in thought.

"--it would be dangerous for her majesty's reputation to be questioned or altered."
