Thorns, Lust and Glory: The Betrayal of Anne Boleyn

Sunday 6 October
The Court House Ballroom Jury Street
2.00pm

Anne Boleyn has mesmerised the English public for centuries. Her tragic execution, orchestrated by her own husband, never ceases to intrigue. How did this courtier’s daughter become the queen of England, and what was it that really tore apart this illustrious marriage, making Anne the whore of England, an abandoned woman executed on the scaffold? While many stories of Anne Boleyn’s downfall have been told, few have truly traced the origins of her tragic fate.

Estelle Paranque takes us back to where it all started: to France, where Anne learned the lessons that would set her on the path to becoming one of England’s most infamous queens. This landmark biography offers a new perspective, exploring the world that shaped her, how her loyalties would leave her vulnerable and lead to her ruin at the court of Henry VIII.

An unmissable account of a queen on the edge.
