Unheard Voices: The Last Shoes Reenactment at Hampton Court Palace
On 27th July 2023, I went on yet another trip to Hampton Court Palace. I went to see Elizabeth I’s Book of Common Prayer (which unfortunately I wasn’t allowed to take pictures of to share with you) and was surprised to stumble across a reenactment of Mary I and Jane the Foole.

Charlie Fenton
is 14% done with An Accidental History of Tudor England: 'Some deaths tested the boundaries. Here the wording might take pains to show which side of the line an incident fell.

Charlie Fenton
is 13% done with An Accidental History of Tudor England: 'We can find other useful fictions.

“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.”

“From the day he first made me his, to the last day I made him mine, yes, let me set it down in numbers. I who can count and reckon, and have the time. Of all the days I was his and did not love him—this; and this; and this many. Of all the days I was his—and he had ceased to love me—this many; and this. In days—it comes to a thousand days—out of the years. Strangely, just a thousand. And of that thousand—one—when we were both in love. Only one, when our loves met and overlapped and were both mine and his. When I no longer hated him, he began to hate me. Except for that one day. One day, out of all the years.30”
