The Early Life of Anne Boleyn: A Critical Essay

Anne Boleyn is Henry VIII’s most famous wife.
But who was she before she met Henry?
The life of the second wife of King Henry VIII, Anne Boleyn, is a figure shrouded in mystery.

Embroiled in a scandalous marriage, she was the sister of her husband’s mistress and came from a family of humble origins.

Missing parish records and conflicting early accounts have cast doubt over Anne’s birth date, something which historians have fiercely debated.

For such a famous queen, remarkably little is known about her early life, about the woman who was to become mother to Elizabeth and meet a tragic end.

J. H. Round has provided a fascinating insight into the life of Anne Boleyn with extensive research and references of enduring value.

Distinctive, scholarly and thorough, The Early Life of Anne Boleyn is a captivating study into the most elusive of Henry VIII’s six wives.

J. H. Round (1854–1928) was a prolific historian, scholar and genealogist of the English medieval period. He translated the portion of the Domesday Book (1086) covering Essex into contemporary English. As an expert in the history of the British peerage, he was appointed honorary historical adviser to the Crown. He published the following titles: Geoffrey de Mandeville, Feudal England and The Commune of London amongst others.
