As it’s Friday, and I definitely need something light-hearted after this rather tiring week, here’s an article written by a regular visitor to The Anne Boleyn Files. A bit of fun… Why is there such an enduring interest in the Tudors? We had the Plantagenets and the House of York, and later we had the […]

To celebrate the launch of my friend Ann Nonny’s The Merry Wives of Henry VIII: A Tudor Spoof Collection, I’ve decided to run a Tudor spoof writing competition. If you’re not sure what a spoof is, it is a satire or a parody. Ann Nonny parodies TV, movies and works of historical fiction in her […]

Today is the day when Ann Nonny’s Tudor spoofs are unleashed on the world! Yes, today marks the launch of The Merry Wives of Henry VIII: A Tudor Spoof Collection! I’m really excited about this book, not only because I had a hand in bringing it to the world, by persuading Ann to publish it, […]

Please read “What If? – A Tudor Spoof” first. Henry sat with his leg wrapped up in bandages staring moodily at his court as they laughed, danced and stuffed their faces with his food. He idly wondered which one of them he could behead next, because that always brightened up a dull Sunday afternoon. His […]

Our anonymous spoof writer has been rather busy… 19th May 1536 Anne tapped nervously on the lid of her arrow chest. She heard a creaking followed by a loud crack, and was relieved to see her brother with a crowbar in his hand and a broad grin on his face. “Good grief Anne it’s amazing […]

Our anonymous spoof writer has just sent me this spoof after being inspired by some of the Team Anne Boleyn versus Team Catherine of Aragon stuff that has been going on online recently. It is a bizarre world and I find it staggering that these Tudor queens are often used as an excuse for aggression […]
