We are delighted to welcome the acclaimed historian and author Tracy Borman back to Alnwick Castle on Tuesday 23rd September to speak about her latest book The Stolen Crown: Treachery, Deceit and the Death of the Tudor Dynasty. The Stolen Crown: Treachery, Deceit and the Death of the Tudor Dynasty In March 1603, Queen Elizabeth I, the last Tudor monarch, lay dying at Richmond Palace. The queen's ministers clustered round her bedside, urging her to name her successor - something she had stubbornly resisted throughout her reign. Almost with her last breath, she whispered that James VI of Scotland should succeed her. She died shortly afterwards and the throne of England passed peacefully from Tudor to Stuart. Or so we've been led to believe. In this illustrated talk based on her new book, bestselling author, historian and broadcaster Tracy Borman will reveal the shocking truth behind one of history’s best-kept secrets. Attendees will also have the opportunity to view rarely-seen items from the Alnwick Castle archive relevant to the subject of the talk. Tracy Borman is Chief Historian of Historic Royal Palaces and Chief Executive of the Heritage Education Trust. In 2024, she was awarded an OBE for services to heritage.

Alnwick Castle is thrilled to welcome back Alison Weir, the UK's biggest-selling female historian, for a fascinating evening based on her latest novel, The Cardinal: The Secret Life of Thomas Wolsey. THE CARDINAL Cardinal Thomas Wolsey enjoyed one of the most meteoric careers in history. From humble beginnings in an Ipswich inn, he rose to become Henry VIII's Lord Chancellor and cherished friend. All was going dazzlingly until Henry fell in love with Anne Boleyn - the woman whom Wolsey would one day call 'the night crow' - and sought to end his marriage to his first wife, Katherine of Aragon. Swept up in the maelstrom of 'the Divorce', Wolsey found himself in an impossible situation, with his world crumbling around him. Alison Weir's new novel tells the story of Wolsey the man, his incredible rise to power and his tragic fall. She delves beyond the splendour and political machinations of the Tudor court to reveal the secrets of Wolsey's private life and the mistress he loved devotedly, and the tragedy that overtook them. It is a tale of two women, one who loved him and one who hated him - and also a tale of two men, king and commoner, the special, deep-rooted bonds that brought them together, and the forces that drove them apart. Attendees will also have the opportunity to view rarely-seen items from the Alnwick Castle archive relevant to the subject of the talk.
