Department of The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Date DE-6 (2788) Abstract The Henry VIII MS (BL Additional MS 31,922)—a song book with lyrics by Henry VIII, Thomas Wyatt, William Cornish, and other literary figures of the early Henrician court—is a document that contributes greatly to a critical understanding of the connections between poetry, patronage, and power in early Renaissance society because of the prominence of its chief author, the King himself, and the manuscript's reflection of literary, social, and political elements of the early Tudor court. Acknowledging that the contents of the Henry VIII MS have been thoroughly treated as "words for music" by the musicologist John Stevens, whose Music and Poetry in the Early Tudor Court and Music at the Court of Henry VIII are the standard works in the area, my thesis builds on existing scholarship to treat the lyrics of H chiefly as "words," as literary texts.

At Winterthur, I found mentors who extended every effort to encourage my academic growth. Rosemary Krill, Brock Jobe, J. Ritchie Garrison, and Greg Landrey did much to help me explore new fields. I owe a particular debt to Winterthur’s art conservators. In one, Consuela Metzger, I found a thesis advisor willing to devote countless hours to guiding my intellectual exploration.

Patriarchal Dynamics in Politics: How Anne Boleyn’s Femininity Brought her Power and Death Rebecca Ries-Roncalli Senior Honors Project May 2, 2018 Ries-Roncalli 1 I. Adding Dimension to an Elusive Character The figure of Anne Boleyn is one that looms large in history, controversial in her time and today. The second wife of King Henry VIII, she is most well-known for precipitating his break with the Catholic Church in order to marry her. Despite the tremendous efforts King Henry went to in order to marry Anne, a mere three years into their marriage, he sentenced her to death and immediately married another woman. Popular representations of her continue to exist, though most Anne Boleyns in modern depictions are figments of a cultural imagination.1 What is most telling about the way Anne is seen is not that there are so many opinions, but that throughout over 400 years of study, she remains an elusive character to pin down.

  • Miscarriages and Male Infertility in Tudor England Societies
    Journal of Interdisciplinary History, LII:2 (Autumn, 2021), 155–176. Valerie Shrimplin and Channa N. Jayasena Was Henry VIII Infertile? Miscarriages and Male Infertility in Tudor England Societies throughout the world have traditionally viewed the production of healthy chil- dren as the responsibility of women. Such was evidently the view of King Henry VIII (1491–1547, Figure 1) who clearly blamed his wives for his lack of a healthy male heir. Henry is well-known for Downloaded from http://direct.mit.edu/jinh/article-pdf/52/2/155/1959930/jinh_a_01695.pdf by guest on 01 October 2021 having married six times in his desperate quest for a son, disposing of wives who did not fulfill their royal and marital duty. Henry fathered three legitimate children—Mary I, Edward VI, and Elizabeth I—but what is less well-known is the significant number of unsuccessful pregnancies with which he was associated. Henry’s first two wives, Catherine of Aragon and Anne Boleyn, had ten pregnancies between them from 1509 to 1519 and from 1533 to 1536, respectively, but six resulted in miscarriage. Henry’s first son, Prince Henry, who was born in 1511, lived less than two months (see Table 1). Only two surviving daughters (Mary and Elizabeth) reached maturity; his son Edward died at age fifteen. Henry, naturally for a monarch of this era, accused his wives. He also clung to the idea that his problems derived from his marriage to the widow of his brother Arthur, which contravened Leviticus 20:21— “If a man shall take his brother’s wife they shall be childless.” As a re- sult, Henry disposed of Catherine and Anne accordingly, without considering that his own fertility (or lack of it) may have played a role.

  • Hans Holbein at the Court of Henry VIII
    Holbein at the Court of Henry VIII • The talk is about Holbein’s life in England and the well known personalities at Henry VIII’s court that he painted. • Figures such as Thomas Wolsey (no portrait by Holbein), Thomas More, Thomas Cromwell, Richard Rich (drawing), and Thomas Cranmer (not by Holbein) figured prominently in Henry's administration. • I discuss Holbein’s style by comparing his drawings with his paintings. • And, finally, I look at the many puzzles presented by The Ambassadors. Notes The Tudors (1485 -1603) in brief: • Henry VII 1485 – 1509, Henry Richmond, descendent of John of Gaunt, defeated Richard III at Bosworth Field in 1485. Married Elizabeth of York uniting the two houses of York (white) and Lancaster (red) as symbolised in the white and red rose he adopted. He was a skilful politician but he is often described as avaricious although this did mean he left a lot in the treasury for his son to spend. • Henry VIII 1509 – 1547, he married Catherine of Aragon (his brother’s widow and mother of Mary) but Henry annulled the marriage to marry Anne Boleyn (mother Elizabeth) who he beheaded for alleged adultery. He declared himself head of the Catholic Church and married Jane Seymour who died after giving birth to Edward. He then married Anne of Cleves but the marriage was annulled and she survived Henry the longest. He then married Catherine Howard who he beheaded for adultery and finally Catherine Parr (her third husband) who outlived him and married Thomas Seymour (who grew up in Wulfhall) whose brother was Edward Seymour, Lord Protector of England during the first two years of Edward VI’s reign.
