Video – Henry VIII’s Love Letters to Anne Boleyn – The Sweating Sickness Letter

In today's Claire Chats video I talk about the contrast between the letter Henry VIII wrote to Anne Boleyn in June 1528, when he'd just found out that she'd come down with sweating sickness, and his other letters to her. I show photographs of those letters so you can see the difference Sandra Vasoli talked about in her recent talk.

The book I show is Die Liebesbriefe Heinrichs VIII an Anna Boleyn by Theo Stemmler. It is on Amazon.de but the ones I found on there would only ship to German addresses. I got my copy from a bookshop in Stuttgart via Abebooks.com. Here is a link to ZVAB.com who have copies of it available as I write this:
