…Compellingly argued and meticulously researched, Soberton brings this other Boleyn girl out of the shadows. Mary Boleyn: The Queen’s Slandered Sister presents readers with a new version of Mary, whose life has been linked to scandal for far too many centuries. Highly recommended #maryboleyn #boleyn
I was very kindly sent an advanced proof of Mary Boleyn: The Queen’s Slandered Sister by @sylviabso.bsky.social My comments are below:

What if some of the biggest “facts” about Mary Boleyn… aren’t facts at all?
After France, she vanishes from the records for a few years.
So what do we actually know, and when did Henry VIII fit in?

Mary Boleyn VIII. Henry'nin metresiydi ama inanılmaz bir soyu var: II. Elizabeth'in annesi, Prenses Diana, Charles Darwin, Winston Churchill onun torunları. Ayrıca Mary, Catherine'in nedimesiyken Henry ile ilişki yaşadı, tıpkı Anne'nin nedimesi Jane gibi. Tarih ne ilginç.
