Seldom has a royal court attracted such extensive scholarly attention as that of Henry VIII, or achieved such widespread cultural prominence. Nonetheless, Intercultural Explorations and the Court of Henry VIII is dedicated to presenting a novel perspective on Tudor court culture by utilizing continental sources to contextualize, nuance, and challenge long-held perspectives shaped by the extensive study of well-known, Anglophone sources. Through a diverse array of textual sources, including ambassadorial correspondence, account books, household etiquette, legal records, royal warrants, and marital contracts, as well as plays and travel accounts, this study conducts original research in history, literature, and cultural history. The case studies in Intercultural Explorations and the Court of Henry VIII specifically address questions that challenge our understanding of Tudor court culture. For instance, was it considered tasteful to bring a jester to a royal deathbed? Did John Blanke truly make history as the first black musician to perform at the Tudor court, or did he follow in the footsteps of another renowned performer of African descent? When Charles V visited Henry VIII, did he use his own plate during meals? And why did courtiers express negative opinions about Anne of Cleves' appearance? By addressing these specific inquiries, Intercultural Explorations and the Court of Henry VIII will demonstrate that, despite its English identity, Henry VIII's court was essentially a hub of cultural and intercultural encounters that demands a comprehensive understanding when examined in dialogue across languages, geographical boundaries, and scholarly disciplines.
