You just never know what nuggets of information you might discover when trawling through archives. I believe Hilary Mantel found the title for her book ‘Bring Up the Bodies’ in the Calendar of State Papers, Foreign and Domestic. I recall reading the entry and thinking ‘aha, that phrase sounds familiar!’ Apparently, in a trial, the clerk of the court would call for the accused to be brought up for sentencing. A pretty chilling phrase to hear cried out if you were George Boleyn or the men accused with him during Anne Boleyn’s downfall. Great title for a book though!
