Mary Boleyn: The True Story of Henry VIII's Favourite Mistress

Mary Boleyn, the infamous other Boleyn girl, began her court career as the mistress of the king of France. François I of France would later call her The Great Prostitute and the slur stuck.
The bête-noir of her family, Mary was married off to a minor courtier but it was not long before she caught the eye of Henry VIII and a new affair began. Although a bright star at Henrys court, she was soon eclipsed by her highly spirited and more accomplished sister, Anne, who rapidly took her place in the kings heart. However, the ups and downs of the Boleyn sisters were far from over. Mary would emerge the sole survivor of a family torn apart by lust and ambition, and it is in Mary and her progeny that the Boleyn legacy rests.
