DESCRIPTION:Anne Boleyn is one of the most fascinating figures in English 
 history\, but arguably also one of the most misunderstood. In her lecture\
 , Alison Weir will focus on her latest writing project\, The Lady in the T
 ower\, set for publication this autumn. The talk will be concerned primari
 ly with Anne’s last months\, her imprisonment in the Tower\, her trial\,
  and eventual downfall. The lecture will consider how Thomas Cromwell\, He
 nry’s chief minister\, crafted Boleyn’s fate\, and the political intri
 gues that surrounded it. The book will be a valuable contribution to the w
 ealth of literature already available on Anne Boleyn\, from such authors a
 s Eric Ives and Joanna Denny\, and we hope very much that you will be able
  to join us for what looks set to be a superb evening.\n\nBio: Alison Weir
  is one of Britain’s best-loved and most prolific historians. She is the
  author of ten books\, including The Princes in the Tower (1992)\, Childre
 n of England: The Heirs of King Henry VIII (1996) and Eleanor of Aquitaine
 : By the Wrath of God\, Queen of England (1999). Her most recent publicati
 on is a biography of Katherine Swynford\, third wife of John of Gaunt\, Du
 ke of Lancaster. She has also penned historical novels. Before becoming a 
 historian\, Alison Weir taught\, and presently lives in Surrey.\n\nThe Ivo
 ry Tower Society\, which has played host to such luminaries as Sir Richard
  Dearlove\, Professor Stephen Hawking and Sir Christopher Zeeman\, is hono
 ured to host one of our foremost historical scholars.
