Anne Boleyn: The Falcon Falls In May

by Elizabeth Andrews

May 1536 The most turbulent month of the entire reign of Henry VIII. On the first day of month Henry stormed out of the May Day Jousts without a word or a backward glance at his queen. She would never see him again. Within days the gentlemen of the court would be living in fear of arrest and Anne Boleyn would be imprisoned in the Tower of London. This the story of Anne Boleyn’s sudden and dramatic downfall. A story of scandal, adultery, and incest which ends with the death of five men and the brutal execution of the Queen of England. This compelling story is told through the eyes of the different main characters.. Thomas Cromwell…The main who engineered the queen’s fall Mark Smeaton…The unexpected victim in the game of politics that was unfolding around the throne. Thomas Wyatt – The former love of Anne Boleyn who was awaiting his own fate in the Tower. Henry VIII – The king who broke the church from Rome to be with the woman he loved…but now so desperate for an heir that he resorts to the unthinkable. Anne Boleyn – the queen who bravely walked to the scaffold on the 19th May for crimes that, surely, she did not commit.

Anne Boleyn the Falcon Falls

I try to the different adaptations of Anne Boleyn story.
In this book, she is made to be innocent of any wrong doing. Against Katherine and Mary, it was all Henry's doing. She felt compassion and guilt for the way Henry viii treated his 1st wife and 1st born.
I think the author made a error incorrectly naming 1 of the men condemned alongside Anne Boleyn. It was actually Francis Weston and not Francis Page that was convicted and beheaded alongside the other men.
