Anna of Denmark has been castigated as frivolous, vain, stupid, and more interested in pleasure than politics. This study aims to contextualise her not as a woman of minor significance in relation to the queens regnant of the sixteenth century, but as an inheritor of the bloody legacies of previous consorts north and south of the border.
