Great Tales from British History The Downfall of Anne Boleyn

British history is rich in enthralling stories: pivotal moments that changed the future of the country; moments of drama, suspense, intrigue. Dive right into the heart of the dramatic downfall of Anne Boleyn, the second wife of Henry VIII. The queen s abomination, both in inconvenient living and other offences towards the king s highness was so rank and common that her ladies of her privy chamber and her chamberers could not contain it within their breasts. From Anne s rivalry with Jane Seymour, to her last days and her execution, this account captures the moments at the very heart of Anne s fall from favour. Plunging the reader into the middle of the story, this is narrative history at its most evocative and readable. Charting the events leading up to Anne s death through accounts of several members of the Tudor court, P. Friedmann is able to build up a picture of Anne s final days.
