Anne’s ascent from private gentlewoman to queen was astonishing, but equally compelling was her shockingly swift downfall. There remains, however, much mystery surrounding the queen’s arrest and the events leading up to it: Were charges against her fabricated because she stood in the way of Henry VIII making a third marriage and siring an heir, or was she the victim of a more complex plot fueled by court politics and deadly rivalry?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on myriad sources from the Tudor era, \u003ci\u003eThe Lady in the Tower \u003c\/i\u003eexplores the motives and intrigues of those who helped to seal the queen’s fate, unraveling the tragic tale of Anne’s fall, from her miscarriage of the son who would have saved her to the final, dramatic scene on the scaffold.
