If you read my blog or follow me via my social platforms regularly (thank you if that's you) then you will probably know that I am a big fan of the Tudor era. There's something for me, quite endearing about that specific time in history and specifically about King Henry VIII and the way in which he ruled. Which, when you think about it, is perhaps quite a bit strange as I certainly wouldn't have lasted that long in that time and age with a King like he was and in a world where women were seen to be far less than men.

But even so, something intrigues me about him and that time. And I also find myself fascinated with his six wives, particularly the most famous who sadly lost her head because of her marriage to the King - Queen Anne Boleyn.

I love spending time reading up about the royal Tudors and I am forever looking up different individuals that were alive and part of the royal court at the time of Henry's reign - Wikipedia is amazing for that sort of thing! It's so interesting to find buildings connected to him and his wives. Earlier this year we visited Hampton Court Palace and it was such a magical experience for me to stand in the same place that Henry VIII would have once lived. It really was such a wonderful and enchanting place to visit and not just because of how grand it was.
