The news was pretty light this week so in lieu of the Sunday Short Takes, here are the results of the survey that I put together as part of the give-away of “Anne of Holywood”. I’ve sent emails to the two randomly chosen winners, so if you entered the drawing, keep an eye on your email!<\/p>\n

Question 1: Which Tudor monarch would you like to learn more about?<\/p>\n

I wasn’t too surprised to see Henry VII lead this one, especially with more attention being paid to the earlier Tudors with the Richard III (potential) discovery and Thomas Penn’s “Winter King” being so successful this year.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Question 2: Which of Henry VIII’s wives would you like to learn more about?<\/p>\n

I was a little surprised with this result, since I expected Anne of Cleves or Katherine Parr to lead (and they did come in second and third). I was a little surprised that Jane Seymour got so few votes since I know I could stand to learn more about her (but Anne of Cleves would have been my vote).<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Question 4: If you could have preserved any of these places from total or partial destruction so that their Tudor-era versions still existed today, which would you choose?<\/p>\n

I have to admit that Nonsuch running away with the vote here surprised me a bit. I personally would have voted for Richmond, but I can see where the interest in Nonsuch comes from.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Question 5: Have you ever seen a Shakespeare play performed live, or performed in one yourself?<\/p>\n

Not much of a surprise here, although I wouldn’t have been surprised if it had been an even larger percentage voting yes.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

And here were the responses for the open-ended question “If you could choose one Tudor-era figure besides the monarchs and wives to learn more about, who would it be?”:<\/p>\n

Not many surprises here either. The top vote getter – by a long shot – was Thomas Cromwell, which I would attribute to Hilary Mantel’s books.<\/p>\n

The runners up were:
\nJane Parker Boleyn
\nCharles Brandon
\nThomas More
\nMary Tudor Brandon.<\/p>\n

The rest were:
\nJohn Dudley
\nElizabeth of York
\nCatherine Willoughby
\nFrances Howard
\nAnne Askew
\nArthur Tudor
\nMargaret Tudor
\nThomas Culpepper
\nFrancis Bryan
\nRobert Dudley
\nMargaret Pole
\nElizabeth Blount
\nWalter Raleigh
\nJasper Tudor
\nBess of Hardwick
\nAllen Apsley
\nMary Boleyn
\nDuke of Buckingham (I’m assuming Edward Stafford, the 3rd Duke)
\nTudor women in general.<\/p>\n

Thanks to everyone who participated! The main reason I did the survey was to choose winners for the drawing, but this gives me a good idea of how to approach my next round of updates after I finish the code updating I’m almost, finally, through with!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
