Showtime's The Tudors: Jane and Catherine approach the scaffold
Many people believe that it was Jane Parker, the wife of George Boleyn, who was to blame for initiating the downfall of her sister in law Anne in 1536, and this may be true in part. But to be fair to Jane, there were other factors that should be taken into consideration, however I do think that Jane was a pathological meddler, for the events of 1542 bear witness to that.

In 1541, Catherine Howard had begun a physical relationship with Henry's favourite courtier, Thomas Culpepper, and Jane Parker went out of her way to encourage this relationship.

My blog Dangerous Talk Costs Lives, on the fall of Catherine and Jane, continues on my website.

    History is so interesting isn't it? Do you love the story of King Alfred's unsuccessful afternoon in the kitchen or King Cnut unsuccessful attempt not to get his feet wet? Maybe you're interested in when the Normans landing on our shores or the stories of an era closer to our time?

    ​Personally I love anything medieval especially the period that covers the War of the Roses and my favorite king Richard III
