Jane Boleyn by Julia Fox

Jane Boleyn by Julia Fox

In a life of extraordinary drama, Jane Boleyn was catapulted from relative obscurity to the inner circle of King Henry VI. As powerful men and women around her became victims of Henry's ruthless and absolute power-including her own husband and her sister-in-law, Queen Anne Boleyn-Jane's allegiance to the volatile monarch was sustained and rewarded. But the cost of her loyalty would eventually be her undoing and the ruination of her name. For centuries, little beyond rumor and scandal has been associated with the infamous Lady Rochford, but now historian Julia Fox sets the record straight. Drawing upon her own deep knowledge and years of original research, she brings us into the inner sanctum of court life, teeming with intrigue and redolent with the threat of disgrace. In the eyes and ears of Jane Boleyn, we witness the myriad players of the stormy Tudor period, and Jane herself emerges as a courageous spirit, a modern woman forced by circumstances to make her own way in a privileged but vicious world.

Julia Fox taught history in both public and private schools for a number of years after graduating from the University of London, concentrating in the Tudors and nineteenth-century Britain and Europe. She also worked as a historian's assistant. She now lives with her historian husband, John Guy, and their two cats. Jane Boleyn: The Real Tale of the Infamous Lady Rochford, her previous book, is her first.
