The tragic story of Anne Boleyn has been retold over the centuries,
yet two key figures in Anne's life-her father Thomas and brother
George- are often relegated to the margins of the history of Henry
VIII's turbulent reign. Well before Anne's coronation in 1533,
Thomas was regarded as one of Henry's most skilled and experienced
ambassadors, and George was a talented young courtier on the rise.
But Anne's downfall was to have a devastating effect on her family
- ultimately costing her and her brother their lives. A family
whose success and prestige had been shaped over generations was
destroyed in a violent and brutal episode as the king sought a new
wife and a male heir. In this first biography devoted to the Boleyn
men, Lauren Mackay takes us beyond the stereotypes of Thomas and
George to present a story that has almost been lost to history.
This book follows the Boleyn men as they negotiated their way
through the ruthless game of politics among the wolves of the
court, and establishes their place in Tudor history.
