A Tudor Hoax and a Queen's Endgame (ft. Hayley Nolan)

This week, we’re chatting with Hayley Nolan (@hayleynolanhistorian), the Tudor historian and author of the new book NOTORIOUS: Anne Boleyn and the Great Tudor Hoax. This gripping new analysis tells of how Elizabeth Barton, a poverty-stricken housemaid-turned-nun, ultimately delayed Henry VIII’s marriage to Anne Boleyn for seven years. Wielding unimaginable influence over the biggest names in Tudor history—from the Pope to Catherine of Aragon and even the King himself—Barton spearheaded the smear campaign against Anne Boleyn that would eventually ruin her. But was the young girl simply a victim of these Catholic power players or the dastardly mastermind behind this great Tudor hoax?

Then, we’ll dive deeper into the Queen Camilla Future of Journalism Award - a truly impressive patronage for the queen who was once the most reviled news subject in Britain!
