Elizabeth Boleyn Needlework
Below is a piece of needlework, thought to have been embroidered by Anne Boleyn's mother Lady Elizabeth Boleyn Countess of Wiltshire. The piece features a falcon, which was the symbol of Anne's personal badge, pecking at a pomegranate. The pomegranate was the insignia of Catherine of Aragon. The Latin surrounding the image reads "Ainsi Sera Groigne, Qvi Griogne" which roughly translates to "Let them grumble, this is how it is going to be"

I think that's the medieval way of saying #SorryNotSorry and #oops
ReplyDeleteZoe, I would agree! Anne Boleyn certainly had a way with words :) Plus if you say snotty things in Latin they always sounds much more polite!
