Anne Boleyn. Her Life as told by Lancelot de Carle's 1536 Letter.
In 1536, two weeks after the execution of Anne Boleyn, her brother George and four others, Lancelot du Carle, wrote an extraordinary letter that described Anne's life, and her trial and execution, to which he was a witness. This book presents a new translation of that letter, with additional material from other contemporary sources such as Letters, Hall's and Wriothesley's Chronicles, the pamphlets of Wynkyn the Worde, the Memorial of George Constantyne, the Portuguese Letter and the Baga de Secrets, all of which are provided in Appendices.
Available at Amazon in eBook and Paperback format.
Effigy of Aveline Countess of Lancaster is in Monumental Effigies of Great Britain.
AVELiNE Countess of Lancaster was daughter of William de Fortibus, Earl of Albemarle and Holderness, inheritrix of her father, and by her mother (age 37) Countess of Devon and the Isle of Wight. In 1267 she married Edmund Crouchback, Earl of Lancaster (age 29), died in 1269 without issue, and was buried in Westminster Abbey [Map], near the spot where her husband was afterwards interred. The effigy placed on her tomb affords a fine specimen of female costume in the thirteenth century.
