I am literally shocked seeing those comments of whom found this book 'impossible to read and interpret'. I'm not even a native english speaker maybe not even an 'advanced leaner' but I had no problem whatsoever understanding this book. Besides, as it was said before this book is based on probably the best and the most objective research of anne boleyn. I think the only part I got confused was why the Tudor tradition of arrest first and interrogate later, was not applied regarding the case of anne boleyn, and how a husband who writes in the hopes of 'heirs male' by his 'most dearly and entirely beloved wife' on 24th of april and gives his consent to a commision of 'oyer and terminer' on 27th. But I dismiss it since I'm not a native speaker so it could be that I'm the problem with the reading, not the author. Some points Ives' made I believe are crucial corcerning the case of anne boleyn; such as incredibility of most of chapuys' remarks about her married life with the king, her miscarriage of a so-called 'shapeless mass of flesh' and his allegation that the king had confessed that 'he was bewitched by her'. Most of the authors I've read so far claim such unbelievable things about anne boleyn with no basis other than chapuys' letters. I don't believe this kind of research is anything but trash, literally. Another crucial point is the Cromwell factor. And I appreciated understading gradually of why he wanted to get rid of the queen to save his own head and pocket for a foreseeable future and how did he manage to succeeded in his notorious coup. According to Ives, cromwell was the one to blame, not the king. But how a man who shows signs of how much he loves and wants to keep his wife changed his mind and truly believed these accusations rapidly is a mystery. Ives implies that oncerning henry, changing his mind in 24 hours is quite possible. Ives also rebukes some myths and gets the reader have a sigh of relief about long-repeated stories such as henry was long tired of his second wife and after the miscarriage of a son in january 1536 he was already trying to find a way to get rid of her. This contradicts with his unwillingles to embrace an imperial alliance in the hope that charles v may find himself vulnerable in the possibility of an anglo-french alliance at last and accept anne as queen unconditionally, and many such details. And he regards the birth of elizabeth as a sigh of relief for henry and not a disappoinment as many historians suggests, since it probably assured henry that he can after all beget children after years of barenness. I personally believe that Ives portrayal of anne boleyn is by far the most objective one. Apparently, for her part, she died for no reason whatsoever. Lack of a son was her greatest vulnerability, yet without that inconceivable coup which cromwell staged with mary's supporters, including the seymour faction, her place as queen and the boleyn faction would stay secured. Since it is obvious that anne was more fertile than katherine (she concieved at three times-maybe more, if true as suggested by other scholars- in a row in just three years, while katherine conceived 6 times in 15 years time when she was sexually active with the king before he ceased trying to make her pregnant) and expected to produce (or conceive) more, as Ives argues. And I personally mourn at such a nasty end for a woman like anne boleyn. She was neither a saint, nor a witch, or a malicious woman who seeks nothing but her own profit, but just likesome other women of her time, a victim of an androcentric period, where the struggle of women to survive is hard, but to undermine them is so simple and easy. Had she lived, I can't even imagine how different things would be, it would be for the better of the reformation in england i guess, and many horrible changes in henry's personality.
