The Lady in the Tower

Anne Boleyn, die zweite Frau von Heinrich VIII, wurde im Mai 1536 in den Tower gesperrt, wegen Hochverrats angeklagt und für schuldig befunden und schließlich exekutiert. Vorgeworfen wurde ihr der Ehebruch mit fünf Männern, darunter auch ihr Bruder George, sowie ein Komplott gegen den König. Doch die Umstände, die zu ihrer Inhaftierung führten, sind noch ungeklärt: War es Heinrich VIII, der Cromwell bat, Beweise gegen Anne zu konstruieren, um sie loszuwerden und Jane Seymore heiraten zu können? Oder war es Cromwell selbst, der, aufgrund eigener Interessen, den Fall von Anne Boleyn ausheckte? In ihrem gründlich recherchierten Buch nimmt Alison Weir eine Neubewertung der Belege vor und kreiert ein detailliertes Porträt der letzten Tage einer der einflussreichsten und bedeutsamsten Persönlichkeiten der englischen Geschichte.
