Her notes for that chapter cite <i>The Receyt</i>, Mattingly's classic <i>Catherine of Aragon</i>, Sydney Anglo's standard reference work <i>Spectacle, Pageantry and Early Tudor Policy,</i> the <i>Great Chronicle of London (1893)</i> and <i>Chronicles of London</i> (1905), as well as Starkey's works.Foosenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16981893.post-70045058086272001382011-05-01T11:45:21.004-05:002011-05-01T11:45:21.004-05:00I think the standard source is The Receyt of the L...I think the standard source is <i>The Receyt of the Ladie Kateryne</i>, which details the pageants and other festivities prepared for the wedding. An edition was published in the 1990s, edited by Gordon Kipling. It's written in period English, so you might prefer the detailed descriptions provided in David Starkey's <i>Six Wives</i>.Foosenoreply@blogger.com
