In this groundbreaking biography of Queen Anne Boleyn, learn how the ill-fated second wife of Renaissance England’s Henry XVIII met her downfall–and how she came to be so vilified and misunderstood.

Anne Boleyn has mesmerized the general public for centuries. Her tragic execution at the Tower of London on the 19th of May, 1536—orchestrated by her own husband—never ceases to intrigue. While many stories of Anne’s downfall have been told, few have truly traced the origins of her grim fate. In Thorns, Lust, and Glory, Estelle Paranque takes us back to where it all started: to France, where Anne learned the lessons that would set her on the path to becoming one of England’s most infamous queens. 

A fascinating new perspective on Tudor history’s most enduring story, Thorns, Lust, and Glory is an unmissable account of a queen on the edge.

  • “A good addition to the large body of Tudor history.”
