Description

‘One of Tudor history’s rising stars.’ - Steven Veerapen, author of The Wisest Fool

FIVE HUNDRED YEARS AFTER HER DEATH, MARY BOLEYN DESERVES HER STORY TO BE TOLD CORRECTLY

Mary Boleyn has long been dismissed as the ‘great and infamous whore’, her story overshadowed by scandal and myth.

But what if everything we thought we knew about her was wrong?

Drawing on newly retranslated original sources and rare archival material, Mary Boleyn: The Queen’s Slandered Sister peels away centuries of rumour to reveal the true Mary Boleyn. Far from the reckless wanton of legend, she emerges as a woman of ambition, resilience, and intelligence. Acclaimed historian Sylvia Barbara Soberton challenges outdated narratives, uncovering the real extent of Mary’s relationships with Henry VIII and Francis I, her role in the rise and fall of her younger sister Anne, and her life beyond the royal spotlight.

This revelatory biography rewrites Mary Boleyn’s story – a must-read for Tudor history enthusiasts.
