Any #Historians out there... Why are years ~1485-1550 years considered the Tudor era, but people refer to 1558-ish to 1603 the Elizabethan era - yet there's no corresponding era in between for the Mary reign.

I mean, I GET Edward VI - he only reigned 6 years which were all beset by Lord Protectors with quite different ideas of reigning. And don't get me started about Lady Jane!

Mary? I dislike her reign. I think it was cruel, & I disagree w/the Act of Succession of 1543 🙄! #Tudors #History

#OnThisDay, 1 Oct 1553, Mary Tudor is crowned Queen of England: the first queen of England to get as far as a coronation and to rule in her own name.

During her reign, 280 religious dissenters were burned at the stake by her order, earning her the nickname ‘bloody Mary’ by her Protestant opponents.

We’ve written about her predecessor and why Mary may have signed her death warrant: carvehername.org.uk/lady-jane-

Greensleeves Project update for World Embroidery Day.
There are a few embroidered items among the gifts presented to Greensleeves in the song, including "a smock of silk, both faire and white, with gold embrodered gorgeously"
The wonderful Juliet Braidwood is working on the smock, embroidering it with black silk and gold thread, using designs taken from contemporary sources. This photograph shows part of her work on a rose, taken from a detail on Nicholas Hilliard's 'Pelican' portrait of Elizabeth I, c1575.
The Greensleeeves Project is supported by The Society of Antiquaries of London
