Welcome to this #history channel with weekly live shows plus monthly historian interviews and history documentaries.
.
In this episode, I am delighted to bring to you my chat with Heather Darsie, author of a breakthrough biography of Henry VIII’s 4th wife, Anne of Cleves; ’Anna, Duchess of Cleves: The King’s ‘Beloved Sister’’, which was published in 2019.
Heather’s book gives a new perspective on Anna as a woman from the Holy Roman Empire, placing her firmly in the midst of the political situation in Europe especially at the time of her illfated marriage to England’s king, Henry VIII.
Through consulting primary sources and visiting archives and museums all over Europe, Heather has been able to look at Anna’s story, and that of her failed marriage to England’s most notorious king in a different, and all the more revealing context, which explains some of the oddities in the story of this pair who, despite not remaining married did remain firm and close friends.
