Not Just the Tudors

The Rise and Fall of Jane Boleyn

Listen on

Episode notes

In 1542 Jane Boleyn was executed for having aided and abetted Henry VIII's fifth wife Catherine Howard to commit adultery. It was the second time Jane Boleyn had been connected with charges of treason as just six years earlier, she had allegedly asserted a charge of incest against the then Queen Anne Boleyn and Jane's husband George. 

Professor Suzannah Lipscomb is joined by Dr. James Taffe, to re-examine this compelling, contradictory woman who served five successive Tudor queens for more than two decades during the increasingly dangerous reign of Henry VIII.

Presented by Professor Suzannah Lipscomb. The researcher is Alice Smith and the producer is Rob Weinberg. The senior producer is Anne-Marie Luff.
