No. And good for you for spending your time working on these properly - I was your age when I wrote my first 'independent' research papers on Anne Boleyn's date of birth and her portraiture. If I'm honest, a magazine is UNLIKELY to publish them if you don't have at least some form of academic credentials (i.e. a Gareth Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09102113677858015813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354677738876576370.post-35343717962651655102012-01-02T23:06:22.997+00:002012-01-02T23:06:22.997+00:00Also, out of interest, I have written an article o...Also, out of interest, I have written an article or two before on Katherine Howard's birth and would love to write some more on her childhood, perhaps, marriage, and the nature of her fall. Do you think it'd be possible to ask some magazines such as HistoryToday to publish them if academic enough?<br />I'm not desperate Gareth, don't think I am - it's just I really want to Conornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354677738876576370.post-89011367901098161692012-01-02T21:26:41.466+00:002012-01-02T21:26:41.466+00:00That's very interesting Gareth!

I have to say both Ives and Weir picked up on that unlike Katherine Howard, no lady was apprehended with Anne Boleyn, which is telling after what you've written.<br /><br />This is a very open question, but what do you believe caused Anne Boleyn's downfall? Was it, as Ives and Weir suggest, Cromwell engineering her fall because she was becoming a Conornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354677738876576370.post-22412075372753078812012-01-02T12:05:01.102+00:002012-01-02T12:05:01.102+00:00Thanks, Conor.

I've actually just finished my dissertation on the role the ladies-in-waiting played in Catherine Howard's downfall and I have to say from that research, I think the role of Anne Boleyn's ladies have been completely exaggerated. The Countess of Worcester's allegations against her and the deathbed testimony of the 5 year-dead Lady Bridget Wingfield rest on VERY Gareth Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09102113677858015813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354677738876576370.post-89980536075977198632012-01-02T10:19:28.156+00:002012-01-02T10:19:28.156+00:00Not at all related to the article, Gareth, but I&#...Not at all related to the article, Gareth, but I'm currently reading Professor Warnicke's 'The Rise and Fall of Anne Boleyn', having read both Ives' and Bernard's biographies of Anne. I had heard a lot about this controversial take on Anne, yet Warnicke's arguments on Anne's date of birth, childhood and role in the court are in many ways very interesting and at Conornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354677738876576370.post-21630510935635690592011-12-26T15:15:54.736+00:002011-12-26T15:15:54.736+00:00Merry Christmas!
