Story
England's Tudor monarchs - Henry VII, Henry VIII, Edward VI, Mary I, and Elizabeth I - are perhaps the most celebrated and fascinating of all royal families in history. Their love affairs, their political triumphs, and their overturning of the religious order are the subject of countless works of popular scholarship. But for all we know about Henry's quest for male heirs or Elizabeth's purported virginity, the lives of the Tudor monarchs away from the public eye remain largely beyond our grasp, mostly not chronicled by previous historians.

Story
It is the spring of 1527. Henry VIII has come to Hever Castle in Kent to pay court to Anne Boleyn. He is desperate to have her. For this mirror of female perfection he will set aside his queen and all Cardinal Wolsey's plans for a dynastic French marriage. Anne Boleyn is not so sure. She loathes Wolsey for breaking her betrothal to the Earl of Northumberland's son, Harry Percy, whom she had loved. She does not welcome the king's advances; she knows that she can never give him her heart.

Until the mass hysteria of the seventeenth century, accusations of witchcraft in England were rare. However, four royal women, related in family and in court ties - Joan of Navarre, Eleanor Cobham, Jacquetta of Luxembourg, and Elizabeth Woodville - were accused of practicing witchcraft in order to kill or influence the king. In Royal Witches, Gemma Hollman explores the lives and the cases of these so-called witches, placing them in the historical context of 15th-century England, a setting rife with political upheaval and war.

Story
The Tudor period conjures up images of queens and noblewomen in elaborate court dress, of palace intrigue and dramatic politics. But if you were a woman, it was also a time when death during childbirth was rife, when marriage was usually a legal contract, not a matter for love, and the education you could hope to receive was minimal at best. Yet the Tudor century was also dominated by powerful and dynamic women in a way that no era had been before.

Brunhild was a foreign princess, raised to be married off for the sake of alliance-building. Her sister-in-law Fredegund started out as a lowly palace slave. And yet - in sixth-century Merovingian France, where women were excluded from noble succession and royal politics was a blood sport - these two iron-willed strategists reigned over vast realms, changing the face of Europe.

January 28, 1547. It is almost midnight, and the cream of English nobility hold their breath as King Henry VIII prepares to face his God. As the royal physicians wring their hands and Archbishop Cranmer gallops through the frigid night, two dispossessed princesses pray for their father's soul, and a boy, soon to be king, snivels into his velvet sleeve. Time slows, and dread settles around the royal bed, the candles dip, and something stirs in the darkness...something, or someone, has come to tell the king it is time to pay his dues.

Known for its lively, clear prose as well as its scholarly research, A People's History of the United States is the only volume to tell America's story from the point of view of - and in the words of - America's women, factory workers, African-Americans, Native Americans, the working poor, and immigrant laborers.

From the New York Times best-selling authors of America's First Daughter comes the epic story of Eliza Schuyler Hamilton - a revolutionary woman who, like her new nation, struggled to define herself in the wake of war, betrayal, and tragedy. In this haunting, moving, and beautifully written book, Dray and Kamoie used thousands of letters and original sources to tell Eliza's story as it's never been told before - not just as the wronged wife at the center of a political sex scandal but also as a founding mother who shaped an American legacy in her own right.

The Supreme Court endorses terrorists' rights, flag burning, and importing foreign law. Is that in the Constitution? You're right: it's not. But these days the Constitution is no restraint on our out-of-control Supreme Court. The Court imperiously strikes down laws and imposes new ones purely on its own arbitrary whims. Even though liberals like John Kerry are repeatedly defeated at the polls, the majority on the allegedly "conservative" Supreme Court reflects their views and wields absolute power.

Henry VIII is best known in history for his tempestuous marriages and the fates of his six wives. However, as acclaimed historian Tracy Borman makes clear in her illuminating new chronicle of Henry’s life, his reign and reputation were hugely influenced by the men who surrounded and interacted with him as companions and confidants, servants and ministers, and occasionally as rivals - many of whom have been underplayed in previous biographies.

Publisher's Summary
A bold new analysis of one of history’s most misrepresented women.
History has lied.
Anne Boleyn has been sold to us as a dark figure, a scheming seductress who bewitched Henry VIII into divorcing his queen and his church in an unprecedented display of passion. Quite the tragic love story, right?
Wrong.
In this electrifying exposé, Hayley Nolan explores for the first time the full, uncensored evidence of Anne Boleyn’s life and relationship with Henry VIII, revealing the shocking suppression of a powerful woman.
So leave all notions of outdated and romanticised folklore at the door and forget what you think you know about one of the Tudors’ most notorious queens. She may have been silenced for centuries, but this urgent book ensures Anne Boleyn’s voice is being heard now.

Well Researched
It is always exciting to find new facts searched on the Tudor Era, especially from women. We have wonderful, also well searched historical novels that I have grown to love over the past 20 years. I find myself yearning to know more.
These women have even more connection as I find myself to be a descendant of several famous (and infamous) strong women often labeled at she-wolves, whores and bitches by the male dominated field of historians and scribes. Viewing a woman 's paradigm enlightens the paths taken by these often unpopular woman that changed the world in their limited capacities. Anne's role in enlightening a king to different point of view released England from the tyranny of the powerful increasingly corrupted Catholic church, opening the way for reform world wide. Then to give birth to one of the greatest queens in history, Elizabeth I, etched a firm place for Anne in history. She created a wake of events that left her both hated and loved the world over.
As much as I appreciate the author's obvious enthusiasm, another reader may have done this audio book more justice. I don't mean to be unkind, it is a rare author (like Toni Morrison) that possesses that gift.

Very annoying narrator!
There is no doubt that the author did her research, but reading aloud her own work was not enjoyable for me.
Her voice is grating on the ears and she sounds like she's trying too hard as she constantly tries to drive her point home. I really wanted to like to this book but she ruined it for me. I am a HUGE Anne Boleyn fan and have read many works on her, but this book was not a good choice for me.

One of the Best Examples of Click Bait
I could not wait for this book to be finished. I was completely fine with her snark and sarcasm in the introduction but it continued throughout the whole book. This forces the writing to be very unpolished and unprofessional. She spends her time putting down other historians while lifting herself up as the only person on this planet who has ever looked at Anne Boleyn as a person and not a fictional character. As if somehow other historians do not have access to the same documents as she did. Nolan does not offer anything new or interesting in Boleyn's life. It's just a retelling of the story as click bait.

Modern look into a legendary lady
This was a fresh take on Anne Boleyn. The writer is constantly reminding us that Anne was a person and her life was real, not a story. Her viewpoints brought to light a lot of information I didn't know before, and a fresh perspective on the tale. I have always had a curiosity about Anne, and have spent countless hours doing my own research, reading books and watching documentaries and this book is the first one that I have come a crossed that doesn't peg her as a villain, seductress, schemer, or even a victim. It shows her as a human, and brings to light the good work she did during her short time as Queen. I also found it fascinating to finally get into the deep roots of King Henry VIII and bring up the possibility of mental illness. Don't get me wrong she doesn't make Anne a saint, she points out Anne's flaws which I liked because it gets tiresome when someone is either entirely for or against, its nice to see someone observe the good and the bad. There was also reference to Anne's family, friends and others at court, Again a lot of the information I didn't know before and it really made for a good background into how everything came to be and to each player in the "game".
I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is interested in Anne or Henry, Will be re-reading. I really did like how she brought up that Anne's history has mainly been observed by men, and how women have only been allowed certain roles in history. It was nice to see a little feminism kicking back and questioning that without being overbearing about it.

Great book Terrible narration
If you don’t know your history and haven’t studied Anne Boleyn this book is for you
It has some very good points and it’s researched well.
Sadly it’s written as if to appeal to twenty year olds with references to hashtags and the like.
Awesome.
It’s as though the author wishes to target a new audience, yet she alludes a few times in the book who the readers of this genre usually are, yet this way of writing is definitely not going to appeal to them.
It’s not as groundbreaking like the author would like you to think.
If you’re of reasonable intelligence and have knowledge of this period, what she has written is no great surprise. All she has done is provide documented accounts of what we knew to be true all along.
Yet she arrogantly believes she’s singlehandedly put to rights the story of Anne Boleyn’s death.
But to the readers new to this subject matter it definitely clears up those silly urban myths.
NOTE; If you want to purchase this book buy the paper copy or the kindle version.
It’s good to hear authors read their own work. They are the best choices to bring it to life because they know their own writing style, but in this case the author’s intonation and sarcastic points at the end of every few sentences is annoying. Think Miranda Hart.
It’s like she’s reading to a classroom of six year olds and trying to keep them interested. The points are extremely interesting already, you’re defeating the object with the silly voices.

Great story ... but
The story was great but the narrator felt flippant and dismissive. Her reading seemed to cheapen the message she was trying to share particularly with the use of the phrasing ‘hashtag’. The narration was over the top and dramatic bordering on cheesy at times (particularly at the beginning).

oh dear oh dear oh dear.
I love history and have always been fascinated, like many people, in Tudor history. driving a lot, it made sense to get the audio book. I'm lucky I did not crash my car. The narration is awful, fake accented, pretentious and sarcastic to the extreme . I will be deleting thus from my playlist as the thought of accidentally playing the remaining 9.4 hours is too painful to contemplate. I have just returned home determined to find out who the writer is and their credentials as an historian, and as a Psychologist, and who the narrator is as the writer must surely be disappointed by the delivery. Research done, credentials checked, the former clearly not having been done by the author. oh dear, oh dear oh dear.

Terrible narrator
Couldn’t get far into it as the narrator was hard to listen to.
I’m sure the content is great but a new narrator would help 8n my opinion.

Annoying narration, very average book
I normally love Tudor history but I found this book a slog. Finished it in the hope it would improve. It didn't

Incredibly Interesting and Enlightening!
I loved listening to this book. It is well narrated and researched. It was great to hear about the real Anne Boleyn not the evil seductress we have been told about for hundreds of years. Thanx for demystifying this for us Hayley Nolan.

What a book!!
I bought the Audible version of the book on release day because I couldn’t wait for it to arrive. Boy am I glad I did! Hearing Hayley read her book in her own impassioned way was a real treat and a great way to experience the review of the tale that is Anne Boleyn. The arguments were reasonable and from a psychological point of view, they made sense. It made me wonder how many sociopaths I interact with 😐
Bravo to the author for the many years of hard work and research that went into this gem of a book.
