Summary

What if the Anne Boleyn you think you know… never really existed? In this episode of Tudors Dynasty & Beyond, host Rebecca Larson sits down with special guest Helene Harrison to explore the many faces of Anne Boleyn—not through her own words, but through how she’s been seen, shaped, and sometimes skewed over the last five centuries. From Tudor propaganda to 20th-century film, we uncover how Anne's image has evolved from seductress to saint, from villain to victim.
