Part of the Katharine of Aragon Festival 2025
The six women who married Henry VIII are compelling characters whose stories have been re-examined and retold for centuries. Fragments of their biographies come readily to mind, but what are the sources of these stories? In this lecture, Dr Charlotte Bolland, Senior Curator (Research and 16th Century Collections) at the National Portrait Gallery in London, will explore portraiture, performance and biography in the context of both the modern presentation of the queens' lives on page, stage and screen, and the queens' own use of stories at court in the 1500s, as presented in the National Portrait Gallery's exhibition 'Six Lives: The Stories of Henry VIII's Queens'.
Talk lasts approximately 90 mins.
