Thomas Boleyn - Villain or Victim? | Conversation with Dr Lauren Mackay | Youtube Version

In this engaging conversation, historian Dr. Lauren Mackay discusses the life and legacy of Thomas Boleyn, father of Anne Boleyn. Lauren, who completed her PhD on Thomas Boleyn, in 2018, challenges the negative perceptions surrounding Thomas Boleyn, highlighting his significant role in Tudor diplomacy and the importance he put on his daughter's education. The discussion delves into the complexities of Tudor family dynamics, the relationship between Thomas Boleyn and Eustace Chapuys, and Thomas Wolsey, and the impact of societal biases on historical narratives. Lauren provides a fresh perspective on a figure often overshadowed by his daughter's legacy and emphasises the importance of reassessing historical figures in light of new evidence and interpretations.
