Early English queenship: Eadburh.
I’ve been reading and researching a lot of queens recently, specifically looking at the evidence we have for queenship in Anglo Saxon England.

Katherine of Aragon’s grave covered in wreaths a few days ago. I like to think she would have appreciated both the sentiment and the pomegranates….and the fact she is named as Queen of England 😉 Anne Stanhope who features in my new book began her life at court in Katherine’s service.
