Hello fellow Anne Boleyn-ers.. I am in my last grade of school this year and as a major work in history I am investigating the topic of Anne Boleyn's fall from power. And yes, I am from Australia xD I am looking foward to speaking to all of you and if anyone has any sources that may relate to my topic, let me know, I would very much appreciate it =) Thank you.

G'day! (always wanted to say that!),
Welcome to the forum and I'm so glad that you found the site. Love your name, you're obviously a Boleyn sympathiser!
I'm always happy to help in any way that I can with resources and sources. I've just done the Anne Boleyn Resource Guide and am selling it for charity (all proceeds go to The Mary Rose Trust) and that's got lots of links, articles, archives etc. in it. However, you can just email me at claire@theanneboleynfiles.com and tell me what you need. I'm also doing a series of blog posts on Anne Boleyn's fall, did the first one a few days ago, and if you search the archives of the site you will find various articles on her fall.
Speak soon!

Hi Justice!
Always great to meet Anne fans from my neck of the woods! (well, kinda!)
Eric Ives' work on Anne 'The Life and Death of Anne Boleyn' would be a great place to start with your history project and Alison Weir's 'The Lady in the Tower: the fall of Anne Boleyn' is an depth account of Anne's last months and gives a lot of background on the men who died with her. Both cite Thomas Cromwell (aside from Henry) as the man behind the plot to bring Anne down, being the person who worked out the details against her so further investigations into his motivations might prove interesting.
I hope this helps and let us know how you're getting on with your project – it sounds like fun!

Helllloooo!
Welcome aboard! This is an addiction but a good one! I have read so many books now that I don't know which one would be best to recommend!
You will have to post your project once its complete so we can take a peek at it!
Cheers!

I agree with Bella, Eric Ives's biography of Anne Boleyn is THE Anne Boleyn book but I would also recommend the biographies of Retha Warnicke and Elizabeth Norton as they each have their own opinions and give you different perspectives.

I have purchased Eric Ives book. I like how he gives you the opportunity to form your own opinions. He explains the numerous posibilities for every siuation involving Anne which is what many historians/writers fail to do. I believe exploring and giving a reason for your beliefs is more amiable than just a view alone. I hope that makes sense!

I love the Ives book on Anne.. I hate to read the end though.. It makes me sad.. It's the same way when I read the bio on Marie Antoinette. I don't want to read the end because I know what happens.. No one should die that way.
