Thank you Mel!

Thank you Sylvia - your article looks fascinating too!

Me neither - I had better get started and write a pitch!

Unfortunately not - as you point out the earliest reference I think I have seen is the one by Ames - I must admit that due it being so ingrained in the secondary literature I assumed that the motto was Anne’s - fascinating if it isn’t and how it came to be associated with her

That’s great - can’t wait to see what the article is about!

That would be brilliant! As far as I know James, William and Mary have never been the subject of a series before - the drama would be immense! It’s well overdue.

Ooo how exciting, I must have a read! I have an article coming out soon with the Royal Studies Journal about Anne’s memory in Elizabeth’s reign - the symbolism of the phoenix and how it connects them is fascinating!

Thank you so much! I would love to bring William and this story into the popular narrative - we’ve had ‘The Favourite’, ‘Mary and George’, and more Tudor dramas than I can count - it’s about time William and Mary have their debut on our TV screens!

So glad that you enjoyed it!
