a marriage that turned the foundations upside down, shook Europe and changed England" Guy J.:The marriage of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn is one of the most impressive stories in history. The king's long courtship was followed by a hasty marriage to the already pregnant Anna and her coronation, and less than three years later, her husband's passion was replaced by hatred of such force that he wanted to get rid of his wife.Prominent British experts on the Tudor era, John Guy and Julia Fox, explore the latest archival finds and debunk historical myths, presenting Anne and Henry in a completely new light. They show how closely the relationship between Anne and Henry is linked to the most important events in international politics at crucial moments in European history, and that as early as the 16th century, a woman was able to influence the politics and religious beliefs of a patriarchal society. Special attention is paid to the seven years that Anna spent in France that fell out of the field of view of historians, as well as how she organized her court according to the new rules, which ultimately became one of the reasons for her downfall.
