Duchess, It was also alledged that Anne also had 3 nipples. I feel this was an invention only in Old Stinky’s mind, and I think he perhaps voiced it to try and prove (for want of a better word) that Anne was a witch, and the 3 nipple was the devil’s teat etc…
having a 3rd nipple isn’t that uncommon in either men or women. I can’t recall the figures off-hand though.

Hey, Bill, do you have the computer Sims or the video game thing
My Tudor family I created was on my Wii console. My old laptop wasn’t fast enough for the PC version.

Yep this is true, and in fact in some of the tribal regions having a third nipple was actually considered a talisman for the whole tribe to bring good luck. It is entirely possible that Anne may have had 3 nipples, but given how superstious people were, back then if Anne did indeed have a 3rd nipple that was considered by some, so called learned men that Anne and others like her were witches etc.. all crap of course but there you go, it what they believed. Today of course we with the benefit our education and common sence see these things for what the are it’s simply a throwback in the gene pool so to speak..As you may know there was a woman only recently conceived twins and when she went for her scan, it turned out that she was in fact yes carrying 2 babies but one baby was about 3 months older than it’s sibling, this was because she had 2 wombs and had conceived the children at different times. There is also a man in Mexico who was born with 2 completely functioning penises. which are entirely able to act independently to each other. ie, he can urinate from the one whilst getting an erection with the other, and he too has fathered a number of children from either one. I don’t know if Anne had 3 nipples or not, but this was the whole basis of Stinky’s witchcraft accusation against Anne, and I guess he hoped, that his Puppetmaster (Cromwell), could have invented evidence to fit the facts as Stinky saw them.

I’ve never heard that before? Where did you hear that? (That Anne had a third nipple)

Ellie.. I heard about Anne allegdely havin a 3rd nipple when I was still at school. Personally I don’t think so, I rather think it may have been a large mole or perhaps a large herbacious cyst.
However as you probably know when a person was accused of witchcraft they were stripped naked and meticiously searched for large moles any that were found were pricked with a needle if they blead ok they were moles but if they didn’t then they were considered as devil’s teats.
And of course that was curtains for who ever was accused of being a witch. However I will state that these so called witch prickers weren’t exactly honest and at times the needle they used was a retractable needle, which of course to the watcher it it looked like the needle went into the accuse person’s body and the mole didn’t bleed.
Anne in Stinky’s mind was a witch because even back then there were sterotypical images of what a witch looked like.. and I’m afraid Anne fitted what Stinky was taught to believe or wanted to believe. I.e being Dark haired and dark eyed meant that Anne was a witch..

Ellie, I believe that the rumour of Anne having a third nipple gained unfounded credence through the writings of Nicholas Sanders (or Sander), who was only a child at the time of Anne’s demise. He was a confirmed Roman Catholic propagandist who basically wrote a lot of unproven nonsense in order to discredit the Protestant cause. Regrettably, a lot of his rubbish stuck for many centuries and is still believed by some today.

Did they ever really have glossy hair? They didn’t have the shampoo and condition that we have today. Didn’t people like women wearing hoods because their hair tended to be greasy.?
If you never wash your hair it doesn’t get greasy, it will begin washing itself after 6-8 weeks. The reason our hair gets greasy is that shampoo strips hair of its natural oils and so the scalp has to create more to compensate. Conditioner replenishes some of those oils but its still not as good as the real thing. Its the same with our skin, washing it causes imbalances in oil production, and therefore does more damage than good in the long run.
We don’t actually know how often Tudor royalty bathed, but Henry did have bathrooms with baths and running water so its possible they bathed a lot more than previously thought. Women also had access to soaps and perfumes.
Wow really? If you don’t wash your hair for 6 weeks? Geez that’s something I’ve never heard about. But that’s cool.

I never use shampoo on my hair only wash it well with lukewarm water and condition probably every third wash but I’m weird I don’t wash my face either simply give it a scrub every morning with fine ground porridge oats made to a paste with a tiny drop of water. (sorry to move away from Anne’s hair).

I don’t wash my hair everyday, I do everyother day though. And I have very thick hair so it’s better that when I condition my hair that I condition the bottoms of my hair instead of the roots and stuff. And i’ve read somewhere that if you stay in a hot shower too long that some of your natural hair? or skin? (I can’t remember which one) oils go away. And shampoo that lathers isn’t good for your hair cause it strips away hair’s natural oils.

It’s funny really when it comes to cleaning products, using things like Porridge for cleaning your skin, Kids today don’t seem to believe you when you tell them that some foods and herbs and spices have more uses than just eating them. The Porridge one being a prime example it’s brilliant clearing up excema. Toothpaste and white vinegar are good for wasp and bee stings. Dock leaves are good for nettle stings, as is urine.
Urine is also good for clearing athelics foot, of course you piddle down the toilet first and then put you foot in it.
In roman times Urine was also used to whiten the toga’s of the roman senate etc, and I believe it was also used to clean teeth too.
Willow bark was chewed by any who were suffering from a headache as it contains aspirin. Lavender, helps your mind to unwind, and helps you sleep as do hops. Lavender oil is also good as an anticeptic. Calomile tea, looks like wee doesn’t taste very nice but boy does it make you sleep.
The old natural remedies are actually better than the manafactured ones sometimes..
I rather think Anne used to brush scented oil through her hair to keep it soft and glossy looking.

Well mayo is supposed to be good for as well as helping to clear lice. Fabric softener and water mixed is supposed to be a good conditioner for hair. What else? Preperation H is supposed to be good for wrinkles, put visine on a zit for redness, vinegar and carbonated water is supposed to be good for shiny hair, Pepto Bismal is good as a mask, baking soda and peroxide for whitening teeth, Put vaseline on skin before perfume so the smell lasts longer, and Banana’s are supposed to be good to soften hair. And I know alot more…LOL

I never heard about mayo for lice, but I believe if you put it in your hair, it will stay there and kill whatever ails you. When I was in Junior High the girls used to put mayo in their hair to soften it. I tried it. I could not get it out of my hair. I had to wear a bandana on my head. It was awful! Used a bit too much. It was very slick. Took a few washings to get it out completely. It worked though. I had the softest, shiniest head of hair you ever saw.
You need very little.

It could have been the egg in the mayo? Edwardian women used Egg shampoo…
“There is no better shampoo for the hair than an egg, well-beaten with about an ounce of water, and rubbed thoroughly into the scalp. It is not merely a detergent, cleansing the scalp and hair of the dirt, but is tonic in its effect and strengthens the scalp. The yolk contains natural food for the hair, iron and sulphur; while the white, being a mild alkali, finds its congenial mate in the oil from the sebaceous glands, and they mingle in a saponaceous lather. It should be thoroughly massaged into the scalp with a rotary motion, beginning in front over the forehead and going back to the crown, then forward to the temples, and back and forth, till the fingers of the two hands meet at the nape of the neck.”
