Discover the hidden verses of Greensleeves and the lavish gifts showered upon My Lady Greensleeves by her suitor. Often linked to Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn, this iconic song is told from a man’s perspective— but what might the woman have felt? Funded by the Janet Arnold Award, the Greensleeves Project brings history to life. Under Tamsin Lewis’s direction, a team of historians and makers recreated My Lady’s clothing, accessories, and more in a captivating video. Hear directly from Tamsin Lewis about the research and making of the Greensleeves Project.
