#AnneOfGloucester grew up with the library of #Pleshey Castle, commissioned & collected by the #bibliophile #Bohun family, & catalogued in 1397 when her father was arrested. #WomensHistory prompts reflection on household culture, role models, generational influence - & how both we & kings may struggle with inner demons.
🎨 made for Anne's mother, #EleanorDeBohun. 🧵 13/
