On Saturday 19th August this year, historian Tracy Borman will be at Alnwick Castle for a very special talk about her new book, Anne Boleyn & Elizabeth I: The Mother and Daughter Who Changed History. The book explores the lives of these two important Tudor women, their legacy in the Tudor period, Elizabethan period and beyond, and their relationship and connections they made to each other. You can get tickets from alnwickcastle.com or our Eventbrite page https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/book-talk-with-tracy-borman-anne-boleyn-elizabeth-i-tickets-635826091957 .
As a preview for the event, Alnwick Castle Podcast hosts Daniel and Deborah discuss what they thought of the book and some of its central ideas, as well as sharing the full story of Anne Boleyn and her relationship (or was it?) with the 6th Earl of Northumberland, and the turbulent ups and downs of Percy fortunes during Elizabeth's reign as queen.
We hope you enjoy the episode, and can join us this summer for an exciting Tudor weekend at Alnwick Castle!
