The Myth of the Seductress and the Witch: Anne Boleyn & Elizabeth Woodville
Anne Boleyn has often been portrayed as the ambitious seductress who trapped King Henry VIII, while Elizabeth Woodville has been accused of using ...witchcraft to ensnare Edward IV.
But how much truth is there in these stories?
In this video, I explore how both women have been vilified in remarkably similar ways, and consider how the myths about seductive queens and magical manipulation developed, and why they continue to shape how we see powerful women in history. They're not the only queens to have suffered in this way!
Join me as we look beyond the myths to the far more complex reality behind two of England’s most famous queens.
