Hunting the falcon : Henry VIII, Anne Boleyn and the marriage that shook Europe
Guy, John, 1952 November 17-2023
Book
The story of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn is one of the most remarkable in history: a long courtship followed by a shotgun wedding and then a coronation, ending just short of three years later when a husband's passion turned to such hatred that he simply wanted his wife gone. Missing from most accounts is how the turbulent nature of Anne and Henry's relationship was tied almost completely to the major events of international politics at one of the great turning points of British and European history. Drawing on new archival documents, John Guy and Julia Fox unearth the truth of these two extraordinary lives and their tumultuous times.
