I'm blown away to learn that Elizabeth and Anne of Cleves were with Mary when she came to claim her position as the rightful heir, after her brother, Edward! This has thrown such a new and wonderful light on these amazing women, each in their own right, who Henry thought of as disposable. I can't tell you how many large and small details that I've learned from your lectures and guests.
This must be the THE most fabulous episode on Natalie's channel to this date. Carol Ann is a wonderful historian and an amazingly talented story teller. I could listen to her for hours and hours. I really enjoy how brilliantly she connected all the little snippets of information into one wholesome story. I wish she could come back to Natalie's show again and tell us more. Thank you x
I've heard before that Anne of Cleaves entertained Mary after her divorce from her father and before she was Queen. Do you find that in your research or is that something from a movie that was construed for the storyline?

I couldn't agree more! I'm really enjoying this podcast. Just stumbled upon it looking through Suzanne Lipscomb channel. ❤️
Mary’s grandmother, Isabella, was also a warrior.
Makes sense that Anne of Cleves be there..she was « sister of the king » so technically an aunt to the two..?
