Mary Boleyn: 'The Great and Infamous Whore'
"Sinopsis" puede pertenecer a otra edición de este libro.
The research is exhaustive... It would be hard to imagine a more thorough examination of any comparable historical issue... [Weir] is to be congratulated on her impartiality and sound judgement (BBC History Magazine)
This is vintage Weir: a thrilling episode of history superbly related and treated with penetrating analysis and a great dollop of common sense (Jessie Childs Literary Review)
Weir is particularly good at piecing together historical mysteries, and this penetrating portrait of a much-misunderstood woman set against the riveting background of the Tudor court is a real eye opener (Good Book Guide)
Weir...knows her sources well. She writes in an engaging way and adopts an even-handed approach (Irish Times)
Alison Weir's book valiantly attempts to separate speculation from historical truth (Sunday Times)
* Mary Boleyn is remembered by posterity as a 'great and infamous whore'.
* She was the mistress of two kings, Francois I of France and Henry VIII of England, and sister to Anne Boleyn, Henry VIII's second wife. She may secretly have borne Henry a child and it was because of his adultery with Mary that his marriage to Anne was annulled.
* It is not hard to see how this tangled web of relationships has given rise to rumours and misconceptions that have been embroidered over the centuries.
* In this, the first full-scale biography of Mary Boleyn, Alison Weir explodes much of the mythology that surrounds her subject and uncovers the facts about one of the most misunderstood figures of the Tudor age.
* Her extensive, forensic research has facilitated a new and detailed portrayal, in which she recounts that, contrary to popular belief, Mary was entirely undeserving of her posthumous notoriety as a great whore or the 'hackney' whom the King of France famously boasted of riding.
* Weir also presents compelling new evidence that almost conclusively determines the paternity of Mary's two oldest children.
* In this astonishing and riveting book, Alison Weir shows that Mary's story had a happy ending and that she was by far the luckiest of the Boleyns.
