Anne of Cleves: The Queen Who Could Have Been

Anne of Cleves: The Queen Who Could Have Been

Anne of Cleves has long been reduced to a single moment: the “failed” marriage to Henry VIII. But what if that version of her story is incomplete?

In this episode, I’m joined by author Dr. James Taffe, whose book Accounting for Anne: The Tudor Queen Who Could Have Been uses Anne’s own surviving household accounts to reconstruct the queenship history usually skips over. Together, we explore what these records reveal about Anne’s daily life, her household, her spending, her relationships at court—and the hidden evidence of a woman doing far more than simply surviving.

If you’ve ever felt like Anne of Cleves deserved a second look… this is the episode for you.

Accounting for Anne is available on Amazon! Amazon-US
