With its haunting melody, and the romantic myth that it was written by as a love song for , Greensleeves has remained popular over the centuries and today, is probably the best known of all .

However there is no proven connection to Henry VIII, and the earliest mention of the broadside ballad called was not until September 1580, (some 33 years after his death). It was an immediate hit, and a number of imitations and parodies were produced in the following months and years.

Our recording uses the text from 'A Handful of Pleasant Delights', 1584 - the earliest surviving source. There are many verses, some of which contain lovely descriptions of clothing and other aspects of

In "The Hunting of the Snark", Lewis Carroll (Reverend C.L. Dodgson) might have used the "Baker" as a reference to Thomas Cranmer.

In line 241 the Baker says: "You may charge me with murder..." I think that Carroll had mixed feelings about Cranmer.

i truly hate girlboss pieces of media that are like “you thought Pablo Picasso made his own paintings, but what if one of his models was the true painter and he stole her credit!!!”
like.. that didn’t happen lol
There are legitimate things to critique Picasso on and real girlboss historical figures who actually existed
It just makes me roll my eyes at the sky

(this feels like it applies to her) lol
