Professor David Loades is currently writing a book on the Boleyn family for Amberley Books (due out sometime next year in the UK). Before then he is publishing yet another biography of Mary Tudor. Sounds interesting!

I'm excited about a new book on the Boleyns. 2012 seems such a long time away. Like Bill, I hope this book sheds some light on George Boleyn, but I would love to learn more about the whole clan. They are a fascinating family. Thanks, Nasim. You are a fountain information!

Oh lord, another book to add to the wish list.  Least it won't be out for a while  Smile  

And the one about Mary sounds interesting too – I swear Amazon is going to bankrupt me one of these days….

Thank you!

 

I met David Loades last summer; had I known about the book, I would have asked him about his research thus far.

 

Unsure whether the Mary Tudor book is a new text or a reprint. I don't imagine it will be a reprint of the great Mary Tudor: A Life, but it could be of the 2006 biography (which isn't really worth buying).

You and me both. I'm about to put in my Amazon order for my b'day…I'm scared how much it costs.

It's always bunnies.

I can't wait to read the book when it comes out here in the states.Maybe it will answer some questions about george Boleyn and any children he might have had.I know there is a thread about Anne's Irsh cousins ,whose grave stone claims they were descendant's of George Boleyn, Lord Rochford.

This would mean George had illegitimate children? Yes? Or is this a case of people having the same name? I think on Wikipedia it mentioned something about a distant cousin also being called George or something
