Why did Henry VIII marry six times? And why did
Anne Boleyn have to die? The dramas of courtly
love have captivated centuries of readers. Yet
too often they’re dismissed as something
existing only in those old legends of King Arthur
and chivalric fantasy. However this is far from
the case. Journalist and author, Sarah
Gristwood, reveals the way courtly love made
and marred the Tudor dynasty.
