Book
Maid of Honour
First published 2025
In 1513 the young Anne Boleyn leaves England for Mechelen to join the sophisticated household of Margaret of Austria. As one of the regent’s maids of honour, Anne encounters a demanding education in languages, music, ceremony and the rivalries of an international court.
Margaret’s Netherlands is also a centre of Habsburg strategy, humanist learning and preparation for the future rule of Charles V. Surrounded by ambitious attendants and influential scholars, Anne begins to understand how observation, self-command and reputation can become instruments of survival.
