Hunting the Falcon, the latest book from the married partnership of Tudor historians Julia Fox and John Guy, is a groundbreaking examination of how the marriage of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn sent shockwaves across a continent and changed England forever.
Published by Bloomsbury in September 2023, their new book documents one of the most remarkable periods in English history: the story of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn. Missing from most accounts is how the turbulent nature of Anne and Henry’s relationship was tied almost completely to the major events of international politics at one of the great turning points of British and European history.
We are delighted to have them join us at Osidge Library to talk about this major new historical work and a retelling of one of the most consequential marriages in history, as well as a startling portrait of love, lust, politics and power. This was a marriage that convulsed not just a nation, but a whole continent. Drawing on new archival documents, startling artefactual discoveries and reinterpretations of long-misunderstood sources, John Guy and Julia Fox unearth the truth of these two extraordinary lives and their tumultuous times.
