About this listen
When Anne Boleyn is thrown into the world of the court, her aim is to survive with her reputation intact. But when the eye of, first, a nobleman, and then, King Henry himself falls upon her, her beauty will only get her so far. If Anne wants to succeed in the vicious game of court politics, she must use all of her wit and cunning, and she cannot risk falling in love with a man she cannot predict.

A powerful ruler, an alluring young woman, a scandal that would rock the nation: Anne Boleyn’s life story sounds more like a juicy TV docu-drama than a chapter of English history.

Renowned for her extraordinarily vivid recreations of historical events, Carolly Erickson brings out the full fascinating story of the enigmatic Anne Boleyn.

The history books have cast Katherine of Aragon, the first queen of King Henry VIII of England, as the ultimate symbol of the Betrayed Woman, cruelly tossed aside in favor of her husband’s seductive mistress, Anne Boleyn. Katherine’s sister, Juana of Castile, wife of Philip of Burgundy and mother of the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, is portrayed as “Juana the Mad,” whose erratic behavior included keeping her beloved late husband’s coffin beside her for years.
