Off With Their Headlines

This week, we’re chatting with Hayley Nolan (@hayleynolanhistorian), the Tudor historian and author of the new book NOTORIOUS: Anne Boleyn and the Great Tudor Hoax. This gripping new analysis tells of how Elizabeth Barton, a poverty-stricken housemaid-turned-nun, ultimately delayed Henry VIII’s marriage to Anne Boleyn for seven years. Wielding unimaginable influence over the biggest names in Tudor history—from the Pope to Catherine of Aragon and even the King himself—Barton spearheaded the smear campaign against Anne Boleyn that would eventually ruin her. But was the young girl simply a victim of these Catholic power players or the dastardly mastermind behind this great Tudor hoax?UK Preorder (out Aug. 27): https://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/notorious-9781037201264/ US Preorder (out Dec. 1): https://bookshop.org/p/books/notorious-anne-boleyn-and-the-great-tudor-hoax-hayley-nolan/6d6293d27bc98590 Hayley is a historian, a TEDx Speaker on Anne Boleyn, an Associate of King’s College London, and is currently at the University of Oxford undertaking her second master’s degree. Her biography Anne Boleyn: 500 Years of Lies was the Independent ‘Book of the Month’ and an Amazon History No. 1 bestseller. Then, we’ll dive deeper into the Queen Camilla Future of Journalism Award - a truly impressive patronage for the queen who was once the most reviled news subject in Britain!______________________________Listen early & ad-free on Patreon, where you’ll also find exclusive bonus content: https://www.patreon.com/OffWithTheirHeadlines Watch video episodes for free (a few days later) on YouTube.Feedback or questions?
