Just heard that the historian Eric Ives died of a stroke on 25th September. Very sad. He was the author of some excellent books, including Anne Boleyn The Most Happy. May he rest in peace.

It is truly a sad day. Dr. Ives was of one of the great historians of the modern era. I never met Ives, but I trusted his opinion’s and research emphatically. He showed what true scholarship was, and his book on Anne Boleyn changed my life. He brought a maligned woman out of the shadows, and brought her to life. He has left an amazing legacy. RIP Dr. Ives. You will be sadly missed.

I agree with you Duchess; it is a sad day. His work on Anne really is second to none but his book on Lady Jane Grey is the one that helped me to make sense of the often times bizarre events of 1553. His passing has really left a huge void in the Tudor history world.
I do hope he’s chatting with Queen Anne in the afterlife as I write this

I think the first thing Anne did when she saw him was give him a great big hug Bella.
It’s very sad and a terrible loss. He has left a wonderful legacy.

I was so sorry to hear this. Prof. Ives was my go-to expert on Anne. I first read his book nearly 20 years ago, and then the updated version just recently. He will be a great loss.

Very sorry to hear of his passing. His book on Anne is always at my fingertips. He did her proud. Rest in peace Dr. Ives.

Very sad to hear of Professor Ives passing, his book on Anne not only further increased my already great interest in Anne and her story, but also inspired me to change my career path and do a History degree
