About the Author
Lauren Mackay is an historian whose focus of study goes beyond familiar historical figures and events to lesser known individuals, as well as beliefs, customs, and diplomacy of the 16th Century.
?Her debut book, Inside the Tudor Court: Henry VIII and his Six Wives through the eyes of the Spanish Ambassador, is the first and only biography of the so-called Spanish Ambassador, Eustace Chapuys, the most integral chronicler of the Tudor Court. Her second book, Among The Wolves of Court: the Untold Story of Thomas and George Boleyn, out now with IB Tauris Publishers/Bloomsbury, is based on her extensive PhD research, and introduces Anne Boleyn’s father and brother, often underplayed figures at Henry’s court, lifting the lid on their rise as highly skilled ambassadors and courtiers who negotiated their way through the complex and ruthless game of politics.

So interesting! You hardly ever hear about them as much as Anne!
I would ABSOLUTELY love to have this!
Very much looking forward to reading this as I think the Boleyns had a fascinating perspective of the Henry VIII’s court and their interesting subjects on their own too so I’m not going to miss the opportunity to read this one.

I would like very much to read this, George has gotten less attention in his own right than he should have and I want to know more about Thomas (and I am also amused/saddened that this means George will now have as many modern biographies as total existing novels which use his POV extensively — 2).
Would enjoy reading more about these two. Thx for the chance!!
Yes plz
Would love to know more about the Boleyn men! Got to see Thomas Boleyn’s tomb at Hever last year…was lovely to pay tribute to the patriarch of this fascinating family.
Another interesting tale to add to my bookshelf!
I’ve always thought of Thomas as quite manipulative so I’ll be interested to hear another perspective!
If nothing else at least I am getting some great ideas for future reading another book I’d love.
Would really love to read this one.

Yes, the Boleyn family is very interesting to me.
I’m hoping the book will unravel what role they played in bringing Anne to be Queen, and what life was like for Thomas after his 2 proteges were executed.
Finally a book about Thomas and George Boleyn! Would love to read it! 🙂
This looks like a fascinating book – I love learning more about this era, and the characters behind the main ones.
Thank you so much for the opportunity to win this and the other books! I look forward to seeing which book is going to be featured each morning!
It is so sad to know how these men have been villainized over the centuries into something they were not. So happy and thankful this book was written, now their true lives can be told!
Please, please, please! I have been waiting impatiently for this book to come out! Cannot wait to read it!
This would be an interesting read. Thomas and George are often overlooked.
