The Lady in the Tower: The Fall of Anne Boleyn by Alison Weir

5.0

More of my favorite subject. European History. This is an in-depth look at the last four months of Anne Boleyn's life and the case against her as an adulteress. It was extremely well researched and written. I found myself more sympathetic to Anne than I have ever been before. She often is painted as an extremely hot-headed woman (which she probably was) however this book all but proves that she and the men charged were innocent and possibly the target of Cromwell's political ambition. The evidence against her is non-existent or hearsay and it's obvious that the verdict was decided long before the trial took place

A good point is brought up in that she probably would have gone int obscurity had she not been beheaded and had her daughter not been on of the greatest rulers of England.
