Description

Jane Rochford: A Life of Drama and Survival At the heart of Henry VIII's tumultuous reign was Jane Rochford, sister-in-law to Anne Boleyn and cousin to Katherine Howard. Her life was one of extraordinary drama, as she witnessed and participated in the greatest events of the king's reign. Born into a world of royal intrigue, Jane's marriage to George Boleyn brought her close to the royal circles, where she remained through the unfolding spectacle and tragedy of Henry's succession of marriages. Despite facing trauma and banishment from court, Jane managed to regain her place at court, attending on Jane Seymour and Anne of Cleves. A biography that repudiates the infamous reputation of Lady Rochford, Julia Fox presents a fresh perspective on this fascinating woman, who emerged as a modern figure forced by brutal circumstance to fend for herself in a politically lethal world.
