Hello and welcome back to the show.

I'm your host, Rebecca Larson.

And today I'm very pleased to welcome back again, Helen Harrison.

Welcome.

Hi, Rebecca.

Thanks for having me back again.

Oh, you're always so much fun to have on the show.

So I'm excited today to talk to you about a subject that I feel like is talked about a lot, but maybe not in great detail or I guess maybe I've never done an interview on the great matter. Everybody knows about Henry the 8th, Anne Boleyn and Catherine of Aragon,

and they're like triangle, right? Yeah. Yeah, it comes up a lot, but I don't know how much people actually

know about what happened. Yeah, and that's what we're going to talk about today, I think, is just trying

to get a good understanding of it a little, and I know you research Anne Boleyn a lot.

So that will give us a different perspective, too.

I think a lot of the times when we talk about the Great Matter,

we look at Catherine of Aragon's side a lot more.

So how do you want to start this today?

Maybe we should just, hmm, let's start off by just talking about the great matter in general before we go into detail.

Like what, when we say the great matter, what does that mean?

Yeah, it's an interesting question because a lot of people see the Great Matter as Henry VIII's divorce from Catherine of Aragon, which largely took place in the 1520s, early 1530s.
