Summary

In this episode of Talking Tudors, host Natalie Grueninger delves into the fascinating ways Elizabeth I publicly honoured her mother, Anne Boleyn, despite the turbulent history surrounding her execution. Joined by Dr. Owen Emerson, a social and cultural historian, the discussion reveals surprising insights into Elizabeth's reign and her efforts to restore Anne's legacy. The conversation begins with Elizabeth's coronation and how she subtly yet powerfully acknowledged her mother's significance. Natalie and Owen explore an extraordinary document—an Act of Parliament—that reinstated Anne as a legitimate queen, shedding light on Elizabeth's strategic approach to affirm her own legitimacy. Listeners will discover the symbolism and emblems that Elizabeth adopted, linking her reign to Anne Boleyn, and how these emblems permeated Elizabethan court culture. The episode also debunks the myth that Henry VIII destroyed all traces of Anne, showcasing surviving artefacts and portraits that celebrate her memory. Join Natalie and Owen as they uncover the rich tapestry of historical evidence that highlights the enduring connection between Elizabeth I and her mother, Anne Boleyn, challenging the narrative that their relationship was kept in the shadows.
