| Publisher Description: The sudden fall and brutal execution of Queen Anne Boleyn in 1536 was an event which startled contemporaries. Present in London at the time was a young French priest named Lancelot de Carles who composed an account of the event. His work tells of Anne's youth spent in France, her romance with Henry VIII, the birth of Elizabeth I and tells how the shocking accusations against her came to be made. It describes public reaction to the events, what happened at the trials of Anne and her alleged lovers and what took place on the scaffold. Made available for the first time in modern English, this volume presents the entire text of Lancelot de Carles' work together with an introduction which seeks to put it in context with Anglo-French politics at the time. |
