‘It’s not every day that new Tudor artifacts are discovered. Earlier this morning, researchers at the British Museum announced the discovery of a heart-shaped gold pendant, attached to a gold chain, dated to around 1521. Perhaps the most significant part of this discovery is the interwoven ‘H’ and 'K’ initials, confidently linking this find back to Henry VIII and his first wife, Katherine of Aragon. It is possible that this pendant was part of the Tudor court’s famed pageantry. It may have been presented to Queen Katherine by Henry himself at a jousting tourney at Westminster, intended to celebrate the birth of their son, Prince Henry, Duke of Cornwall. However, that would place the pendant’s origins to January of 1511 at the latest. At the tournament, King Henry proudly wore symbols of the heart, Katherine’s initials, and Katherine’s emblem – a pomegranate – woven throughout his clothes and resplendent caparisons. He spared no expense for the celebrations, although sadly, his son Henry, would breathe his last less than a month later. Little of the object’s provenance has been revealed. It was discovered by a metal detectorist in a field in the Midlands, who 'shrieked like a school girl’ upon unearthing the pendant. Hopefully in the coming months, more information about this enigmatic object will be released.’

“Captivating to men, Anne was also sharp, assertive, subtle, calculating, vindictive, a power dresser and a power player, perhaps a figure to be more admired than liked.” – Eric Ives

[falconqueenarchive]

if I'm being honest I think genevieve b. as anne is massively overrated

and I low-key hate her "anne is MINE" quote

[falconqueenarchive]

and in case anyone thinks she isn’t highly (over)rated...

[lolapetticrewed]

i think it’s an amazing performance but it’s very theatrical and she doesn’t embody anne to me (tbh nobody does!). she has such spirit but her portrayal has definitely promoted this concept anne had no sense of diplomacy and nothing but a take no prisoners attitude. while that COULD be true, it’s just not the whole picture. she could be bad-tempered and “mouthy”, yes, but she wouldn’t have been praised for her mannerisms if that was the case all the time, or even often!

Head and shoulders portrait of Catherine of Aragon (1485-1536), facing one quarter to the left, her head turned to the left, wearing a black velvet gown with a jewelled headdress and a pendant cross with a single drop pearl.

Catherine of Aragon was a talented embroiderer and continued to make shirts for her husband, Henry VIII, during his divorce proceedings against her. Here Catherine’s white linen shift is decorated with blackwork, a style of embroidery believed to have its origins in the geometric Moorish designs found in Spain. The popularisation of both blackwork in England and the so-called Spanish farthingale, a stiffened cone-shaped underskirt, are often credited to the arrival of the Spanish queen and her entourage.
