Books
Remembered only as a wife and mother, Elizabeth Boleyn has been overlooked for centuries. However, she had a long and illustrious court career before her daughters Mary and Anne ever caught the king's eye. Serving as Katherine of Aragon's lady-in-waiting for eleven years, Elizabeth was at the heart of Henry VIII's early reign, and she bore witness to the dramatic rise and downfall of her family. In this first narrative biography of Elizabeth Boleyn, her story is finally told. Beginning with her family's dramatic flight from Norfolk to London after the Battle of Bosworth, this book charts Elizabeth's life at the early Henrician court, follows her as her family rise to the pinnacle of their power, and ends with her tragic death just a couple of years after two of her children were brutally executed.
