Estelle Paranque brings a new perspective to Tudor history's most enduring story in an unmissable account of a queen on the edge.
About the event
Anne Boleyn has mesmerised the public for centuries. How did this courtier’s daughter become the Queen of England, and what was it that really tore apart her marriage to Henry VIII? While many stories of Anne Boleyn’s downfall have been told, few have truly traced the origins of her tragic fate.
Estelle Paranque takes us back to where it all started: to France, where Anne learned the lessons that would set her on the path to becoming one of England’s most infamous queens.
