Question: A good biography of Anne Boleyn?
I recently developed a slight obsession with Henry VIII and his court lol so I'm looking for good biographies of the wives, children and Henry of course!! but I'd like to begin with Anne please help!!
Answer: The biography by Eric Ives is probably the best in terms of accuracy and reputation. Avoid anything by Joanna Denny or Alison Weir; they have a tendency to be very biased.
For a decent all around bio of Henry's wives, try The Six Wives of King Henry VIII by Antonia Fraser.
David Starkey has also written extensively on the whole Tudor clan, and is considered a leading figure in the field. David Loades has also written several scholarly bios.
A great book on Catherine of Aragon that is currently out of print is Garrett Mattingly's Catherine of Aragon.
