A Lady & An Artist: One Silenced, One Nearly Lost

A Lady & An Artist: One Silenced, One Nearly Lost

Two women. Two very different paths through the Tudor court. One ended on the scaffold. The other helped shape how the court would be remembered.

In this episode of Forgotten Tudor Women, we explore the lives of Jane Boleyn and Susanna Horenbout—one remembered for scandal, the other nearly lost to history despite her artistic legacy. We unpack the myths surrounding Jane Boleyn, what people consistently get wrong about her, and what a more accurate version of her life reveals. We also dive into Susanna’s role as a foreign-born woman navigating Henry VIII’s court through talent, skill, and quiet influence.

Together, their stories reveal what life was really like for Tudor gentlewomen living in the shadow of power—and why their legacies still matter today.
