Description

A groundbreaking examination of the marriage of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn, which sent shockwaves across Europe and changed England forever. This book combines meticulously researched history with contemporary voices to present a startlingly new perspective on these two extraordinary lives. The authors shed light on the major events of international politics at one of the great turning points of European history, revealing how Anne's relationship with Henry was tied almost completely to the politics of the time. They also explore how Anne herself was a shrewd and ruthless politician who steered Henry and his policies, challenging assumptions about the role of women in a patriarchal society. By peeling back layers of historical myth, Hunting the Falcon presents a nuanced and compelling portrait of two figures whose tumultuous times continue to captivate historians and readers alike.
