So after more than a decade I think I really am at the point i need to just publish so I can build more. I think I have written this before.

But I have copied from the Letters and Papers of Henry VIII and I do indeed have 19thC transcriptions of the marriage negotiations for Anne! The 1527 one, a latin copy of the 1539, and the immediate reply in German that I’m not sure Henry ever saw.

But I also found some contradictory evidence. The NRW archives do not have the documents digitised but there is a record for the contract as 1527, 1535-36, and that matches what is in the Letters and Papers! But this book I have? Has a date of 1537 for a “nope” not getting out of it!

But some of that is in the original spelling and some is in modern so it’s a little difficult. Also this book rarely names Anna, and mixes up the codices chronologically.

But also there is an amazing link between Anna and Christina of Milan!

So today. Yes, I’m webbifying it all as it is all freely available.
