Summary

Often when we think about Anne Boleyn we see either the sultry mistress or the tragic victim - but people often forget that for 3 years she was a queen consort and don't judge her time on the throne on its merits. Today, we see how her reign stacks up to that of her forebears.

So just before going to record this episode, I realise that this one, when you chuck in all the

0:04.9

supplementals in the chat episode, is the 50th helping of the Queens of England podcast that I have put

0:10.0

out. Now, if you are like me, then you'll love a few meaningless statistics, so here are some.

0:15.9

To prepare for each show, I have written a total of 287,071 words, in 11,843 sentences. Each word, I have written a total of 287,071 words in 11,843 sentences. Each word averages out

0:25.6

at 4.43 letters, and each sentence averages 24 words, though I put a lot of that down to

0:31.2

medieval writers having vendettas against full stops. While these statistics aren't entirely

0:36.0

pointless, what is not so are the amazing number

0:38.9

of you that are now listening each week. If you believe my download stats, I get more listeners

Twitter pages,

like a modern person. And of course, my all-important Patreon page, where, if you so wish,

1:20.6

you can chuck a few quid my way to help me out. And, I would like to thank a few people

1:24.9

who have recently done so. They are the amazing and generous, Lindsay, Diane, Sonia, Michelle, Ariel and Jenny.
