Böcker av Heather R. Darsie

The first book to look at Anne Boleyn's life from a Continental perspective. Anne's role models for queenship were in the Low Countries and France, an important contribution to her tragic fall.

_Stuart Spouses_ looks at the oft-overshadowed consorts of the Stuart monarchs, from 1406 to 1714\. By focusing on these people and detailing their rises to matrimony, the trials and tribulations of their courtships, and the impact their unions and dissolutions had on the kingdoms of Scotland, England, Ireland, and Wales, one learns not only the history of these kingdoms but the true, sometimes soft, power behind the throne.

Using untapped archival material, Heather R. Darsie reveals the real Katherine, a woman in her own right and not a figure defined by the machinations of her husband.

The first book to look at the lives of Anna of Cleves' siblings, particularly her powerful brother Wilhelm V and her elder sister Sybylla, and their interactions with the Holy Roman Empire, England, and France, which had a significant impact on the Reformation.

A fresh look at Anne of Cleves' life as a German noblewoman, and the Continental politics that affected her marriage. Did the doomed union really cause the fall and execution of Thomas Cromwell?
