Story
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.

Mary, Queen of Scots continues to intrigue both historians and the general public - but the story of her mother, Marie de Guise, is much less well known. A political power in her own right, she was born into the powerful and ambitious Lorraine family, spending her formative years at the dazzling, licentious court of François I. Although briefly courted by Henry VIII, she instead married his nephew, James V of Scotland, in 1538.

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.

Until the mass hysteria of the seventeenth century, accusations of witchcraft in England were rare.

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.

Part biography, part cultural history, The Creation of Anne Boleyn is a fascinating reconstruction of Anne’s life and an illuminating look at her afterlife in the popular imagination. Why is Anne so compelling? Why has she inspired such extreme reactions? What did she really look like? Was she the flaxen-haired martyr of Romantic paintings or the raven-haired seductress of twenty-first-century portrayals? (Answer: Neither.) And perhaps the most provocative questions concern Anne’s death more than her life.

The family earned their royal rights through strategic planning and battlefield prowess, and kept them because of intellect, strength, and sheer determination. The Tudors, one of England’s most powerful and famous royal dynasties, knitted together a fragmented and small island nation that became one of the world’s financial, colonial, and technological superpowers.

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.

In the tradition of Antonia Fraser and Alison Weir, prize-winning historian Helen Castor delivers a compelling, eye-opening examination of women and power in England, witnessed through the lives of six women who exercised power against all odds - and one who never got the chance. Exploring the narratives of the Empress Matilda, Eleanor of Aquitaine, Isabella of France, Margaret of Anjou, and other "she-wolves," as well as that of the Nine Days' Queen, Lady Jane Grey, Castor invokes a magisterial discussion of how much - and how little - has changed through the centuries.

The Plantagenet queens of England played a role in some of the most dramatic events in our history. Crusading queens, queens in rebellion against their king, queen seductresses, learned queens, queens in battle, queens who enlivened England with the romantic culture of southern Europe - these determined women often broke through medieval constraints to exercise power and influence, for good and sometimes for ill.

Ladies of the Crusades

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.

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.

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.

I wanted to like it, but....
Full disclosure - I could not make it through this book. The author comes across as a someone trying to sound cool and hip by using modern slang in an allegedly serious work. Instead she comes off as an angsty teen with an ax to grind. I think she had a really good starting point for a book - Anne Boleyn probably hasn't gotten a fair shake from history, but repeatedly screetching that beheading doesn't equal love doesn't work to make the point. Also this is a perfect example of why authors should NOT read their own work. The sarcasm in her voice and her tone are major turnoffs. I get it, you want to rail against the injustice done to your subject but leave the performance to professionals who won't judge the merits of your work and argument by how worked up you get trying to make your case.

First Bad Review
Let me preface by saying that I didn't get past Chapter 2. I am a history nerd, and especially love the Tudors, reading everything I can find. While I agreed with most of the author's conclusions, her tone was so flippant and sarcastic that she lost credibility. The facts (the few we really do know) about Anne Boleyn tend to show that while she was capable of avarice, manipulation and revenge, she was also unfairly convicted to expedite Henry VIII's marriage to Jane Seymour. She does seen to have the facts (those which I heard), she just needs to take the edge off the sarcasm, and I would give it another chance.

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
I listened to about half an hour of the narration of this book and gave it up for a bad job, as Hayley Nolan's voice took away any interest in what she was saying, which is a pity, really, as the book is probably quite interesting. There are many books on the life of Anne Boleyn, I suggest shopping around, and listening to the samples before buying - the author is not always the best narrator.

A huge amount of a well dissected history that is not only captivating but also informative how history is written. The author is eloquent with true crucial facts that gets buried and never properly credited. A real must read to those who look to understand how things can go really wrong when it involves individuals with personality disorder - despite the time-space continuum! I loved reading this book and I think if you truly value how history helps us to understand how we got to here, then start with this book.

Some ideas make sense other idea's of Hayley's less so, if you look at history in it's plainest form they don't add up.
I'm pleased i listened but not one i fell i would listen to again.
Hayley however was a great narrator.

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.
