some interesting Tudor facts for fans of Six the Musical:

(NB: please be aware that like with all history, some things are easier to verify than others, but I’ve fact-checked as much as I can)

-After Henry’s death, Catherine Parr married Thomas Seymour, the brother of Jane Seymour

-Before Henry died, Catherine also took on the responsibility of finding tutors for the education of the young Princess Elizabeth (Anne Boleyn’s daughter) and Prince Edward (Jane Seymour’s son). Princess Mary, the daughter of Catherine of Aragon, was about 27 years old at the time and so didn’t benefit from this, but she did benefit from Catherine Parr’s insistence that Henry bring all his children to live at court and to put them back in the line of succession

-Anne Boleyn and Katherine Howard were cousins. It’s unlikely they ever met, seeing as Katherine was about 20 years younger than Anne, and Katherine’s father wasn’t particularly wealthy or high status compared to the Boleyn family.

-Anne of Cleves outlived Henry and maintained a good lifestyle as ‘the King’s most beloved sister’. In Katherine Howard’s short time as Queen, Anne was invited to court, and the two women treated each other amiably and without any hostility. Some reports say the two danced together several times during the festivities.

-Anne Boleyn was a lady-in-waiting of Catherine of Aragon, while Jane Seymour was a lady-in-waiting of Anne Boleyn.

-Catherine of Aragon was the daughter of Ferdinand of Aragon and Isabella of Castile, two of the most powerful rulers of Spain. They were responsible for enabling Columbus’ expedition and for establishing the Spanish Inquisition (aka they were not two people you should mess with).

-Catherine herself was well-respected. She was involved in Renaissance humanism, tried to get reform for poor relief in England, and even commissioned controversial works claiming women had a right to education.

-Anne of Cleves was on good terms with Henry’s children, while Katherine Howard tried her best to befriend them (but was perhaps limited by the fact that her step-daughter Mary was almost a decade older than the teenage Queen).

-One of the properties Anne of Cleves received in her annulment settlement was Hever Castle, a property once owned by Anne Boleyn’s father before Anne’s execution.

okay let me just add two more things that i find fun facts

-Catherine of Aragon was Catherine Parr’s godmother, and it is believed that Catherine Parr was named after her

-Catherine of Aragon’s parents were not only two of the most powerful rulers of Spain, they were the first rulers of Spain, as before the territory was divided in four kingdoms. The first two of those kingdoms to unite were Aragon and Castile, through Ferdinand and Isabella’s marriage, forming Spain, which went on to conquer the remains of the Iberian Peninsula that wasn’t Portuguese territory. They were also known as the Catholic Monarchs and they went on to ban both Judaic and Islamic practices, which further explains Catherine of Aragon’s insistence in following the traditional Catholic rules when it came to marriage

Okay, but why isn’t six the musical talked about more?

It’s a musical with six female leads. You hear that? SIX FEMALE LEADS!! You know how rare that is in musical theatre right?

It’s based on the six wives of Henry the Eighth, which in history lessons are just like “oh Henry wanted a new wife so he just went to the next attractive woman he found” and actually gives their side of the story! Like, women in modern times would not be happy if their husband just went “I’m gonna divorce you to marry someone younger who can give me kids,” so why would women in 1500’s be this accepting? It’s so interesting, even though we did look into Catherine of Aragon a little and the fight she put up to stay with Henry, but nothing else was said about the other queens.

There’s so much diversity in the cast! Women of colour, thin women, curvy women, it’s so amazing to see such diversity on stage!!!

Ermmm, it’s a musical based on history!?! Like these were real women!! You know how many kids would be interested in history of there were more musicals like this!! Yes it may be inaccurate in places, but Hamilton also has issues with historical accuracy, and don’t get me started on the historical accuracy of Anastasia.

The sound track is such a bop, honestly I am living for this!

It was wrote by a couple of university students and ended up on the west end, do you know how much of a big deal that is! A couple of unknown composers have/had their musical out there with stuff like phantom of the opera, Les mis ect that is just crazy to me! I absolutely love it though and believe more independent musicals should be supported!

Go listen to it now!!! It’s free on Spotify! And honestly I’m so in love with the actress playing Anne Boleyn 😍
