The Boleyns by Amanda Harvey Purse

The Boleyns by Amanda Harvey Purse

Starting with Anne Boleyn, wife of Henry VIII, Amanda Harvey Purse looks at significant Boleyns through history, shining a spotlight on how their story has been entwined with that of the British monarchy for almost 500 years.

'The Boleyns provides a fascinating summary of the lives of some of the Boleyns' descendantsWith adulteresses, soldiers, statesmen, and queens numbered amongst their progeny, it provides a great overview of the later history of a family usually overshadowed by their most famous member.' -- Elizabeth Norton
'A glittering evocation of the Boleyn family's rise.' -- Dr Owen Emmerson, Castle Historian, Hever Castle
'In taking the long view of the Boleyns, this wonderful book offers a genuinely fresh perspective on one of the most famous families in British history. The executioner's sword might have brought Anne's story to a brutal close, but her bloodline would endure far beyond that of Henry VIII and is still part of the royal family today.' -- Tracy Borman
