Holbein’s Unknown Woman, is it Anne Boleyn, with Karen L Davies and Professor Hassan Ugail

from The Tudor Chest Podcast · host Adam Pennington

A sketch of a woman, erroneously identified as Amalia of Cleves, could, according to todays guests, actually be a contemporary sketch of Anne Boleyn, while another sketch, long believed to be Anne, may in fact be another Boleyn altogether. Historian Karen L Davies and Professor Hassan Ugail of Bradford University have co-authored a paper which applies technology to helping identify these sitters, so join them and I as we discuss the fascinating work they’ve been conducting, are we finally seeing the true face of Anne Boleyn?
