Welcome back to the Historic Royal Palaces podcast.

I'm Chief Historian Tracy Borman.

Joining me today is Jane Seymour expert, historian, broadcaster and author, Elizabeth Norton.

Welcome back, Beth.

I'm just sort of using Anne as an example because she's the person that I work on because it is important for us today, for us as women today to challenge the sort of ideas and the misogyny behind a lot of what we say about Anne Boleyn.

Well, and that just reminds me of, so in this series, I've spoken with Tracy Borman and Kate Williams about their recent books, and both of them have a similar point of view.

And I'm curious what your point of view is.

about the time period where Henry is pursuing Anne and she retreats to Heber.

And he never saw her again.

And I know that Tracy Borman thinks that he never saw her again.

He was never allowed to see her again, partly because he had surprised her just after she got out of bed.

when she was looking.

At St Thomas' Church, it's The Sixteen, conducted by Harry Christopher's An Immortal Legacy.

And at The Playhouse, it's Daniel Kitson with some comedy and music with Thrum from 7.30. Over at the Molum in Swanage, it's The Comedy Club, and that's at 7.30. And lastly, if you head on over to the Tivoli in Wimborne, it's Tracy Borman with Tudors on Tour.

That's her talk from 7.30. Those are your events for tomorrow, Wednesday, the 21st of October.

There's an unusual event coming to Shaftesbury in November where people will be invited to take part in a shamanic journey, listen to live music and create something called a soul doll.

of-... you kind of stuck with you while you were writing?

I guess aside from the Pendle Witch Trials, another one that's covered in a really, really good book by Tracy Borman called James I and the English Witch Hunts, and she uses this case study of, like, a family of women, a mother and two daughters, called the Flower Women.

I just, it's such a beautiful name, and it kind of has that nature connection.

So they were working in Belvoir Castle, and the lord of the castle, his, I think his son died.

I think the evidence strongly suggests he was responsible for their deaths.

I should add, I asked Tracy Borman the same question.

She agrees.

Sarah Gristwood partially agrees.

Absolutely.

James is the only viable choice, and it's thanks to Cecil that James succeeded.

Tracy Borman has written a great

book called The Stolen

Now something a little more sedate.
