'The Boleyns are one of the most famous families in history, but
what this book brings vividly to life is the hitherto untold story
of their rise to prominence. It is far more than just a prelude to
the well-trodden tale of Anne Boleyn and Henry VIII, and boasts a
fascinating cast of characters who until now have remained in the
shadows. I don't think I will ever look at the Boleyns in the same
light again.' – Tracy Borman, author of Anne Boleyn & Elizabeth I:
The Mother and Daughter Who Changed History
‘At last a scholarly account of the Boleyn family elegantly slicing
through legend to paint a vibrant and convincing picture of the
rise of a Tudor dynasty. Lively, scholarly and revelatory, this is
the Boleyns as never seen before.’ – Simon Thurley, author of
Houses of Power: The Places that Shaped the Tudor World
