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!

  2. I would ABSOLUTELY love to have this!

  3. 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.

  4. 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).
