Anne Boleyn: Temptress, Mistress, Feminist (Very Short History Book 9)

Very few people can claim to have changed the course of religious history in a country, but that is the case with Anne Boleyn, whose marriage to King Henry VIII sparked the break with Rome and the beginning of the English Reformation. Anne herself is said by historians to have been intelligent, single-minded and articulate; more importantly, she is an early example of a woman who was able to succeed in a man's world, ensnaring a king and claiming influence way beyond her birthright. Eventually she was defeated by her enemies, but even a French executioner could not destroy her impressive legacy.

This very short history provides an insight into one of the more complex characters in British history, examining a charismatic woman who continues to fascinate historians up to the present day.

The Very Short History series gives the reader a clear, concise, and very short, account of the people and events that have shaped world history. Each book provides an entertaining and engaging narrative, allowing the reader to master the subject in the shortest time possible.
