It is an exciting week for Alicia, and she wants to share her love, passion, and fervor of the Tudor Era with you - especially her love of Anne Boleyn!

In this episode, we explore the 17 surviving love letters that King Henry VIII penned during his courtship and early relationship with Anne Boleyn in the latter half of the 1520s, particularly noting that for quite a long time, it seems like Anne wasn't really that into him.
