@THERoyalCrabbit I'm not aware of any book (non-fiction) that specifically focuses on Anne's time in France, but do check out Eric Ives' 'The Life and Death of Anne Boleyn'.
Also, Marie Louise Bruce's 'Anne Boleyn': https://t.co/qL23anHMe7
Margaret of Angoulême (sister of King Francis I).
She was a highly educated woman and a patroness of religious reform. Anne Boleyn looked to Margaret as a role model.
In Sept. 1535, Anne wrote to her 'saying that her greatest wish, next to having a son, was to see you again'.
Ouch! Love hurts! 😰
For marrying behind Queen Elizabeth's back, Edward Seymour and Katherine Grey were locked up in the Tower of London in 1561.
Their two sons were born in prison.
Katherine was then parted from her husband, whom she never saw again. She died in 1568.
Illustrations of Henry VIII, Francis I of France, and Eleanor of Austria (Francis' second wife and the sister of the Emperor Charles V).
Attributed to the Dutch artist Cornelis Anthonis (1505-1553).
From the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.

A medal of #AnneBoleyn inscribed 'Anne de Boulen'.
Probably 17th century, and most likely based on an engraving by Wenceslaus Hollar of a lady said to be Anne (by Hans Holbein).

@GJ1Richardson @nat_wieczorek Here's another example of young Francis by Clouet.
Prince Henry Stuart, the eldest son of King James VI of Scotland (and later James I of England).
He showed great promise, but sadly died at the age of 18.
British history would have been very different if he had become King, instead of his brother Charles.
