Description
Hever Castle, a fortified manor house in the Kent countryside, is famous for its connections to the Boleyn family. Historians Owen Emmerson and Claire Ridgway invite you to explore the home of this influential family. The book takes you back in time to the 77 years of Boleyn ownership, where you can tour each room as it was during Anne Boleyn's time at the castle or when she sought refuge from King Henry VIII's advances. You'll see the 16th-century Hever Castle come to life with room reconstructions, and read about the Boleyns' remarkable rise from petty crime to a castle, and eventually, the throne of England. This luxurious book combines the authors' extensive knowledge of the Boleyn family and Hever Castle, packed with history and full-colour images.
