Okay, I Dont Usually Add To These Bcus Theyre Fandom-related , But Given This One Is Making Actual Historic

Okay, I don’t usually add to these bcus they’re fandom-related , but given this one is making actual historic claims ....

1) To say ‘even if we ignore Chapuys’ claims’ and then cite the example of the christening cloth .... that comes from Chapuys. And no other. Idk if anon is aware of that , but ... yeah. Something to think about .

2) It wasn’t her coat of arms (her coat of arms was a falcon, but that was her family’s heraldry), it was actually embroidery that has been attributed to Elizabeth Howard (her mother) most recently by historians , that depicted what you mention :

Here are her coat of arms

No pomegranate , as you can see. To have put that in actual official heraldry would have been very odd .

3) If you don’t like Anne Boleyn, that is of course , your prerogative. But it is true that the bulk of the contemporary reports about her that are negative come from Chapuys. There are some from other diplomats that are also not positive , but his are where there is the highest volume of negative reports about her. Whether or not you take them at face value , totally disregard them, or somewhere in between (my personal recommendation) is totally up to you.

I think that when statesmen forsake their own private conscience for the sake of their public duties, they lead their country by a short route to chaos.

A Man for All Seasons (1966) dir. Fred Zinnemann

‘How could Anne Boleyn attend a party right after KoA had died’, idk. How could Mary I get proxy-married right after Jane Grey and Guildford Dudley were executed? How could Henry VIII and Jane Seymour get married right after the executions of his wife, brother-in-law, and close friends?

Sometimes shit was fucked .

Lady Anne Clifford, Countess of Dorset, Pembroke and Montgomery, suo jure 14th Baroness de Clifford (30 January 1590 – 22 March 1676) was an English peeress. In 1605 she inherited her father’s ancient barony by writ and became suo jure 14th Baroness de Clifford. She was a patron of literature and as evidenced by her diary and many letters was a literary personage in her own right. She held the hereditary office of High Sheriff of Westmorland which role she exercised from 1653 to 1676.

The Vision of Saint Jerome, Giovanni Battista Langetti , c. 1660, Cleveland Museum of Art: European Painting and Sculpture

Jerome (c. AD 347–420) studied Greek and Latin literature in Rome, but eventually pursued theology, perceiving his conduct as corrupt and sinful. Around AD 374, Jerome had a vision of the Last Judgment in which an angel called him to task for his transgressions. Jerome then withdrew from society, learned Hebrew, and studied the Gospels, which led to his influential translations of the Bible. Langetti here follows a convention by depicting Jerome’s vision after he retreated from the world. Working in the northern Italian port of Genoa, Langetti absorbed Caravaggio’s impact, seen in the composition’s naturalistic bodies and dramatic light. Size: Framed: 238 x 187 x 13 cm (93 11/16 x 73 5/8 x 5 1/8 in.); Unframed: 200.2 x 149.2 cm (78 13/16 x 58 ¾ in.) Medium: oil on canvas
