Anne Boleyn, the femme fatale whose beauty inspired poets, and so entranced Henry VIII with her wit, allure and style that he was prepared to set aside his wife of over 20 years and risk his immortal soul. Her sister had already been the king's mistress, but Anne was to choose another path. For years the lovers waited; did they really remain chaste? Did Anne love Henry, or was she a cunning career woman? Eventually replacing the long suffering Catherine of Aragon, Anne enjoyed a magnificent coronation and gave birth to the future Elizabeth I but her triumph was short lived. Why did she go from beloved consort to adulteress and traitor within weeks? What role did Thomas Cromwell and Jane Seymour play in Anne's demise? Was her fall one of the biggest sex scandals of her era, or the result of a political coup? This book provides a detailed account of Anne's life, taking her from cradle to grave and beyond.
