#six wives with lucy worsley
Text
This fantastic reproduction of a gown worn by Queen Jane Seymour in a portrait by Hans Holbein was seen being worn by Kate Phillips in the 2024 sequel to Wolf Hall – The Mirror and the Light. The piece looked familiar, and some digging revealed it to have been used in 2016 in Six Wives with Lucy Worsley, worn by Elly Condron also portraying Jane Seymour.
However, because the documentary likely did not have any original costumes, it means that the gown almost certainly did not originate with the 2016 documentary. So where did it originate? The most likely candidate is the 2008 adaptation of The Other Boleyn Girl. Though the gown, worn by Corinne Galloway as Jane Seymour is shown only briefly, and almost entirely in shadow, it does appear to be the same gown. Minor alterations were made for Six Wives and The Mirror and the Light, but the fabric on the petticoat is the best indication that they are one and the same.

"Mary’s relationship with her mother is key, and Katherine must be understood not as a weak, rejected wife but as a strong, highly accomplished, and defiant woman who withstood the attempts of her husband, Henry VIII, to browbeat her into submission and was determined to defend the legitimacy of her marriage and of her daughter’s birth. [...] Katherine of Aragon can be understood as a figure of immense courage from whom Mary could learn much. Katherine oversaw Mary’s early education and highly formative upbringing, which was not a prelude to inevitable failure but an apprenticeship for rule. Mary’s Spanish heritage informed her queenship but in a far more positive way than is popularly acknowledged."
- Anna Whitelock, Mary Tudor: Princess, Bastard, Queen
"In some ways, this letter resembles the “mirror of princesses” literature, most strikingly Anne de France’s 'Lessons for My Daughter', written around 1504. Like Anne, a French princess and regent for her brother King Charles VIII, Catherine makes a strong case for virtue, not only the specific feminine virtue of chastity but also the more general virtues of filial love and obedience, all of this tempered by a strong sense of ethical responsibility and reliance on trustworthy friends. Catherine’s expressions of maternal love are wrapped skillfully around carefully worded advice on how to handle the news. Her advice to Mary on how best to navigate dangerous political dynamics is also a brief summary of Tudor queenship written at a key moment in English history. As a political statement, in this brief lesson on Tudor queenship, she shares with Mary the contradictions and responsibilities of queenship. [...] Her signature also conveys love of the realm and care for the institution of queenship. She was protecting Mary as the princess who would be queen. She knew that a queen was expected to be a noble, beautiful, virtuous, and chaste protector of her family. These sentiments are familiar: duty and humility. These ideas on queenship in this letter are intertwined with those of kingship. [...] Catherine also was a realist with an unwavering conviction, based on the example of her mother, that Mary could rule legitimately in her own right."
- Theresa Earenfight, Catherine of Aragon: Infanta of Spain, Queen of England
Happy Birthday Magdalena! @latristereina

24 October 1537: Death of Queen Jane Seymour.
‘[Jane] had lingered throughout the day, gradually slipping away. This time there was no respite. We have no record of Henry’s visiting his dying wife but would not expect to find one. It was not the custom, and in any case, the king was always afraid of sickness, even in those he loved. Much though he had adored Anne [Boleyn], he had stayed miles away from her as she had burned with the sweat. So, like everyone else, he had waited as the hours slowly passed and Queen Jane’s strength ebbed, her chances of survival diminishing. Norfolk, worried about how Henry would react to the news that all were dreading, had scribbled a hurried note to Cromwell, begging him to return to Hampton Court instantly. The duke had written at 8 p.m. that evening, hoping that the minister could make it back by early morning on the following day. He was sure that Queen Jane would be dead by then, but Cromwell would be needed “to comfort our good master.” There was “no likelihood” that the queen could recover, Norfolk had said, signing the missive as from “the hand of your sorrowful friend.”
And Norfolk had been right. The queen had not recovered. She had been beyond the desperate efforts of Dr. Butts and Dr. Owen and the prayers offered up on her behalf. With her weeping ladies clustered at her side, one of them almost certainly Jane [Boleyn], the queen had died.’ J. Fox, Jane Boleyn.

Character: Elizabeth Tudor [Younger]
Actress: Claire MacCauley
Show: The Tudors [2007] [Season 3]
[Unknown age, looks to be between 7 - 9 so good for pre-cannon or maybe book 1. She has light auburn hair and high cheekbones but her eyes are the wrong colour. She wears 16th century clothes.Sorry for the bad quality photos, couldn’t find better.]
Character: Elizabeth Tudor [Younger]
Actress: Summer Rose Allison

Character[s]: Thyra [Younger] & Elizabeth Tudor
Actress: Madeleine Power
Show[s]: The Last Kingdom [2015] & Six Wives with Lucy Worsley[2016]

Actress: Ellie Darcey-Aiden
Show: Robin Hood [2006] [Season 3 & 1 Episode]
Movie: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2
[She is 9 in Robin Hood so too young but she interacts with a character who looks like the hound and is in more accurate clothes. She is the right age for her in the first few books in the Harry Potter movie at 11/12. She is pretty with light auburn hair and high cheekbones but has the wrong eyes. She wears relatively modern clothes in Harry Potter so it’s only good for close ups but Robin Hood’s mediaeval ish.]
Character[s]: Maria Merryweather & Lyra Belacqua
Actress:Dakota Blue Richards
Movie[s]: The Secret of Moonacre [2008] & The Golden Compass [2007]
[She was 12/13 during these movies so around the right age for her in later books. She is pretty with light auburn hair and has high cheekbones but the wrong eyes. She wears modern clothes in Golden Compass and fantasy clothes in Moonacre.]

Character: Estella [Younger]
Actress: Izzy Meikle-Small

This unique necklace was first seen in the 2016 documentary Six Wives with Lucy Worsley. It was worn, likely intentionally, by both Paola Bontempi as Katharine of Aragon, and then on Claire Cooper as Anne Boleyn. It was later seen on a lady in waiting in the third episode of The White Princess, where it was worn by an extra as a lady in waiting. In 2019 it was worn by Alexandra Moen as Elizabeth of York in the first season of The Spanish Princess.

Tagged by @chiropteracupola. Thankee! <3
Last song: My sister bawling out Evanescence in the next room. Boy that's one thing I'll not miss when she moves out next week. XD
Currently watching: We've somehow ended up making our way through all the Lucy Worsley documentaries we can find on iplayer. Currently on the Six Wives one. :)
Currently reading: I'm skimming Prehistory Without Borders: The Prehistoric Archaeology of the Tyne-Forth Region, edited by Rachel Crellin, Chris Fowler, and Richard Tipping. So far, there's hardly anything on the Iron Age, which was what I was hoping for.
I've also started Circles of Stone, a collection from the British Library's Tales of the Weird series. This one is a collection of spooky stories centred upon stone circles etc. I've already read a couple of them before - the ones by E. F. Benson and L. T. C. Rolt - and looking forward to the rest. :D
Favourites: Oh, the same as they always are. Old stuff, books (more often than not about old stuff), writing things, thinking about writing things, walking with the dog, cuddling the dog, making wee lists, replaying favourite video games again and again, travelling and visiting new places.
Not sure how many people I'm meant to tag, so I'll tag: @di-daydreamer, @technicallycleverdetective, @bryndeavour, @nocompromise-noregrets, and @sanguinarysanguinity.

Do we even do dream casting anymore? Is this a thing? Anyway, here’s my (ever changing) casts for this six wives ✨
Catherine of Aragon as Amy Adams, I’m not fully set on this (I’ve never really been able to pinpoint someone and go ‘that’s Catherine!’) and obviously she’s a bit older now to play her, but back in the day I think Amy would’ve done an amazing Catherine. On the flip side, I liked Natalia Rodriguez from Isabella TVE as CoA as well.
Anne Boleyn as Eden Epstein, I’ve never seen her act but I think face-wise she could be a dead ringer for Nan (I’d want her to wear dark contacts tho)
Emma Corrin as Jane Seymour, I think Emma could pull off the ‘outwardly mousy but psychologically traumatized’ look perfectly.
Either Saoirse Ronan or Julia Garner as Anna of Cleves - I’m not too picky. This could either be a big brain moment or a major flop.
Sadie Sink as Katheryn Howard, especially since she reminds me of the absolutely ✨indelible✨ Lauren McQueen who portrayed KH in the Six Wives w/Lucy Worsley.
Charlotte Spencer as Katharine Parr, do I even need to back this one up? I think the fandom would go nuts if she were to play Katharine.
