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 Lady and Child is in Monumental Effigies of Great Britain.
THIS singular monument is in Scarcliffe Church, Derbyshire [Map]. The style in which it is executed shows it to be of the thirteenth century. The head is surmounted with a very elegant circlet, and rests on a couchant lion; the hair is disposed in braids; the tunic is confined at the neck by a large fermail or broach; a band appears to attach the mantle to the shoulders, and is held in the right hand; the mantle is caught up under the right arm. The left supports a male child, who displays a long scroll, on which has been inscribed in uncial characters some leonine verses, which are now much defaced.
