.The Life and Death of Anne Boleyn: The Most Happy by: Eric Ives July 10, 2005 This highly informative account of Anne Boleyn brings to life a Tudor woman once seen as elusive and obscure. Due to the high volume of biased primary accounts of Anne Boleyn written by the likes of Chapuys (the Spanish ambassador to England at the time) and others, it has been notoriously difficult to make an objective and impartial assessment of Anne Boleyn however Ives succeeds in bringing the true character of Anne Boleyn to life using a variety of sources, challenges biased accounts of Anne's life (such as Chapuys' accounts of the ailing marriage) and also presents compelling evidence to support his assertions, such as the controversy surrounding Anne's birth date.

.Anne Boleyn by: Eric Ives April 14, 1988 Whilst there is no denying Ives' astonishingly in-depth research into some of the more intimate details of Anne Boleyn's life, as well as a thought-provoking and sympathetic apraisal of her political role in the 1520s/30s there are other parts of the biography which suffer enormously. Ives fails to tackle the contentious issue of when Anne Boleyn was born - historians are currently divided as to whether it was 1501 or 1507.

Warnicke sets out an equally strong case for 1507 in 'The Rise and Fall of Anne Boleyn.') Ives concedes that 'whilst most authorities have favoured 1507' it is '1501 which is correct.' ...
