Anne Boleyn & Elizabeth I

The bond between Anne Boleyn and Elizabeth I is central to this story, but I wonder what drew the author to highlight their connection over other aspects.

Her upbringing and the influence of her mother seem to shape her later reign, but I’m curious whether this perspective was new or confirmed what others already thought.

There are so many fascinating moments in court history—what guided the choices to emphasize certain events or figures in the narrative?
