description: “An expertly researched and compelling story. Sylvia Barbara Soberton brings to life the court of Anne Boleyn through the women who served and accompanied her. Filled with fascinating detail, this is a must-read for anyone interested in Anne and the women who shared her life.” Dr Elizabeth Norton, Author of The Boleyn The Tudor Femmes Fatales Who Changed English History.________The aspects of Anne Boleyn’s life and death are fiercely debated by historians, yet her ladies-in-waiting remain an understudied topic. Much emphasis is usually put on Anne’s relationships with the men in her her suitors, her royal husband, her father and brother and her putative lovers who were executed on 17 May 1536. By concentrating on a previously neglected area of Anne Boleyn’s female household, this book seeks to identify the women who served Anne and investigate what roles ladies-in-waiting played in this Queen’s household.________“A thoroughly well-researched, fascinating and necessary insight into the women who served Anne Boleyn.
