Book Description
======
From one of the world’s foremost popular historians, a detailed and
intricate portrait of the last days of one of the most influential and
important figures in English history.

The imprisonment and execution of Queen Anne Boleyn, Henry VIII’s second
wife, was unprecedented in the annals of English history. It was sensational
in its day, and has exerted endless fascination over the minds of historians,
novelists, dramatists, poets, artists, and filmmakers ever since.

Mystery surrounds the circumstances leading up to Anne’s arrest and
imprisonment in May 1536. Was it Henry VIII who, estranged from Anne,
instructed Master Secretary Thomas Cromwell to fabricate evidence to
get rid of her so that he could marry Jane Seymour? Or did Cromwell,
for reasons of his own, construct a case against Anne and her faction,
and then present compelling evidence before the King?

Following the coronation of her daughter Elizabeth I as queen, Anne
was venerated as a martyr and heroine. Over the centuries, she has inspired
many artistic and cultural works and has remained ever-present in England’s,
and the world’s, popular memory. Alison Weir draws on her unsurpassed
expertise in the Tudor Period to chronicle the downfall and dramatic
final days of this influential and fascinating woman.

Book Description
======
From Publishers Weekly
Starred Review. Isabella of France (1295?û1358) married the bisexual
Edward II of England as a 12-year-old,
lived with him for 17 years, bore him four children, fled to France
in fear of his powerful favorite,
returned with her lover, Roger Mortimer, to lead a rebellion and place
her son on the throne
and eventually saw Mortimer executed as her son asserted his power.
Veteran biographer Weir (Eleanor of Aquitaine, etc.) battles Isabella’s
near-contemporaries and later storytellers
and historians for control of the narrative, successfully rescuing the
queen from writers all too willing to
imagine the worst of a medieval woman who dared pursue power.
Weir makes great use of inventories to recreate Isabella’s activities
and surroundings and, strikingly,
to establish the timing of the queen’s turn against her husband and
her probable ignorance of the plot to kill him.
Weir convincingly argues that the infamous story of Edward II being
murdered with a red-hot iron emerged from propaganda against
Isabella and Mortimer. (Her unlikely assertion that Edward escaped and
lived out his life as a hermit is less believable.)
Weir presents a fascinating rewriting of a controversial life that should
supersede all previous accounts.
Isabella is so intertwined with the greatest figures of her century
and the next that any reader of English history will want this book.

From AudioFile
Lisette Lecat’s elegant style portrays a wide array of characters during
the time of Queen Isabella.
Weir paints a sympathetic picture of the notorious queen, best known
for murdering her husband, King Edward II.
This is also a new look at Edward, a weak and corrupt leader more interested
in his homosexual lovers than his family or his nation.
What makes Weir a stand-out historian is the marvelous job she does
putting listeners into a place and time.
Lecat depicts all the pageantry and horror of medieval court life with
an immediacy that might have come directly from today’s headlines.

Book Description
======
From Publishers Weekly
Mary, Queen of Scots (1542-1587), has for centuries fascinated historians
and the general public, her life the stuff of Hollywood myth, involving
murder, rape, adultery, abdication, imprisonment and execution. In bestselling
historian Weir’s (Henry VIII, etc.) able hands, we see the young Catholic
queen ruling over Protestant Scotland and a group of unruly nobles.
Mary’s second husband, Lord Darnley, participated in the 1566 murder
of Mary’s favorite adviser, David Rizzio, after which Mary and Lord
Darnley became estranged. Darnley himself was murdered the next year,
and some historians have claimed that Mary plotted his death so she
could marry her lover, Bothwell. But Weir argues convincingly that the
evidence against Mary is fraudulent, part of a coverup initiated by
rebellious lords. Weir tells how and why Darnley was killed, and, shockingly,
reveals that Bothwell, whom Mary did marry, was one of the murderers.
Mary’s lords took up arms against her, and she was forced to abdicate,
fleeing to England, where she expected her cousin Queen Elizabeth to
help her regain her throne. Instead, Mary was held captive for 16 years
and finally beheaded for plotting Elizabeth’s assassination. Mary could
not hope for a better advocate than Weir, who exhaustively evaluates
the evidence against her and finds it lacking. Mary’s ultimate sin,
according to Weir, was not murder but consistently "poor judgment,"
especially in choosing men. This is entertaining popular history that
will satisfy fans of Weir’s previous bestsellers. 16 pages of color
illus.

From Library Journal
Recounting the murder of Lord Darnley, second husband to Mary, Queen
of Scots, Weir gives us a new view of the queen.

Book Description
======
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.

Here is the first full-length biography of a much maligned but astonishingly
colourful Queen of England.
In Newgate Street, in the city of London, stand the meagre ruins of
Christ Church. On the same site once stood a royal mausoleum set to
rival Westminster Abbey in the 14th century. Among the many crowned
heads buried there was Isabella of France, Edward II’s queen – one of
the most notorious femme fatales in history. But how did she acquire
her evil reputation? And is it justified? Alison Weir’s engrossing biography
sets out to put the record straight.

This magnificent biography of Henry VIII is set against the cultural, social and political background of his court – the most spectacular court ever seen in England – and the splendour of his many sumptuous palaces. An entertaining narrative packed with colourful description and a wealth of anecdotal evidence but also a comprehensive analytical study of the development of both monarch and court during a crucial period in English history. As well as challenging some recent theories, it offers controversial new conclusions based on contemporary evidence that has until now been overlooked. This is a triumph of historical writing which will appeal equally to the general listener and the serious historian.

Book Description
======
Medieval queens were seen as mere dynastic trophies, yet many of the
Plantagenet queens of the High Middle Ages dramatically broke away from
the restrictions imposed on their sex, as Alison Weir shows in this
gripping group biography of England’s fourteenth-century consorts.

Using personal letters and wonderfully vivid sources, Alison Weir evokes
the lives of five remarkable queens: Marguerite of France, Isabella
of France, Philippa of Hainault, Anne of Bohemia and Isabella of Valois.-

The turbulent, brutal Age of Chivalry witnessed the Black Death, the
Peasants’ Revolt, the Hundred Years War against France and savage baronial
wars against the monarchy in which these queens were passionately involved.
Queens of the Age of Chivalry brilliantly recreates this truly dramatic
period of history through the lives of five extraordinary women.

"Stunning… [Weir has] brought those five queens to life like never
before. I just raced through it-it has all the drama and suspense of
a novel."-Tracy Borman, praise for Queens of Crusades

Book Description
======
Bestselling historian Alison Weir tells the poignant, suspenseful and
sometimes tragic story of Elizabeth, eldest daughter of the Yorkist
King Edward IV and sister of the Princes in the Tower, a woman whose
life was inextricably caught up in the turmoil of the Wars of the Roses
and the establishment of the usurping Tudor dynasty. She was the wife
of Henry VII and mother of Henry VIII.

Elizabeth of York would have ruled England, but for the fact that she
was a woman. She is one of the key figures of the Wars of the Roses
and the Tudor dynasty. In youth, she was relegated from a pampered princess
to a bastard fugitive under siege in sanctuary. Yet the probable murders
of her brothers, the Princes in the Tower, left her heiress to the royal
House of York. In 1486, to consolidate his position after overthrowing
the last Yorkist King, Richard III, at the Battle of Bosworth, Henry
VII, first sovereign of the House of Tudor, married Elizabeth, thus
uniting the red and white roses of Lancaster and York. The marriage
was successful and produced seven children, including the future Henry
VIII, who was close to her.

But Elizabeth is an enigma. She had schemed to marry Richard III, the
man who had deposed and killed her brothers, and his councillors clearly
feared her vengeance. Yet after marriage, her ambition to be queen satisfied,
a different picture emerges, as she proved herself a model consort,
mild, pious, generous, fruitful — and beautiful. It has often been
said that she was kept in subjection by Henry VII and her powerful mother-in-la-
w, Margaret Beaufort, who ruled the court as a virtual queen mother;
and that her husband resented having this Yorkist princess in his bed,
and allowed her no power. Yet contemporary evidence suggests that this
is a distorted view.

In Elizabeth of York, Alison Weir builds a portrait of this beloved
queen, placing her in the context of the magnificent, ceremonious, often
brutal world she inhabited, and revealing the woman behind the image.-
