June 2 - Queen Jane Seymour
Monday Jun 01, 2020
Monday Jun 01, 2020
On this day in Tudor history, 2nd June 1536, Jane Seymour made her first public appearance at Greenwich Palace.
She'd married King Henry VIII on 30th May, and this public appearance was just two weeks after Anne Boleyn's execution, so it must have caused quite a stir. You can see this podcast as a video at the following link:
https://youtu.be/9IxCCgFHPQM
Find out more about this public appearance, and also about Jane Seymour herself, in today's talk from Claire Ridgway, author of "The Fall of Anne Boleyn: A Countdown".
Also on this day in Tudor history, 2nd June 1572, thirty-four-year-old Thomas Howard, 4th Duke of Norfolk, was beheaded on Tower Hill for high treason. Norfolk was a Knight of the Garter, he'd served as Earl Marshal and Lord High Steward, he'd presided over Queen Elizabeth I's coronation, so what had led him to this sticky end and how was he involved with Mary, Queen of Scots?
