ABSTRACT
This chapter will discuss Anne’s immediate afterlife – namely, her funeral and the debacle it became (Richard II shed the Earl of Arundel’s blood in Westminster Abbey, delaying the service for reconsecration). The chapter will also examine Anne and her marriage as a conduit for textual transmission between England and Bohemia and how this link fed into her portrayal as a “mother” of reformed religion in early modern England, even though there are no contemporary suggestions Anne and Richard were anything other than Catholic. Finally, the conclusion sums up the argument that queenship was a political office.
