"Honourable Mentions" is a series that honours the lives of Tudor women who knew, aided, and impacted the lives of our six queens. To help us learn more about the lives of ladies-in-waiting at the Tudor court, Kate and Cally are doing a deep dive on one of the court's most notorious women: Jane Parker Boleyn, Viscountess Rochford. Lady-in-waiting to five of our six queens, Anne Boleyn's sister-in-law, and keeper of secrets...until it cost her her life.

What do we actually know about Jane's life? How did royal service shape her life? Does she deserve her scandalous reputation? And how does historiography shape our perceptions of historical figures?
