The Unfaithful Queen: a Novel of Henry Viii's Fifth Wife
“The late Queen Jane’s apartments were now spoken of as Queen Anne’s suite, and the glaziers had removed all the medallions bearing the initials H and J, for Henry and Jane, and replaced them with new ones honoring H and A, Henry and Anna.
New liveries had been sewn for the grooms and footmen and maids—even the three laundresses sent from Cleves to prepare linens and bedding had new gowns and aprons.
