MadeGlobal's History in a Nutshell Series aims to give readers a good grounding in a historical topic in a concise, easily digestible and accessible way. In Mary Boleyn in a Nutshell, Sarah Bryson discusses the controversies surrounding Mary Boleyn's birth, her alleged relationships with two kings, her portraiture and appearance, and her life and death. Mary survived the brutal events of 1536 and was able to make her own choices, defying the social rules of her times by marrying for love. It is from Mary that the Boleyn bloodline extends to the present day. Sarah Bryson, creator of the popular "Anne Boleyn: From Queen to History" Facebook page, brings together what is known about Mary Boleyn, the shadowy sister of Queen Anne Boleyn.

A longer look at Mary Boleyn is Alison Weir's Mary Boleyn. Even if you read that generally good book, this "In a Nutshell" is a worthwhile addition to your reading.
Interestingly, there is a worthwhile mystery series starring Susanna Horenbout, who came to England from what is now Belgium in 1525, the year the miniature was painted, to be Henry VIII's personal illuminator. She married a courtier named John Parker. The first book in the series is called In a Treacherous Court.
There is also an excellent mystery series by P. F. Chisholm starring one of Mary Boleyn grandsons, Robert Carey. The first book is called A Famine of Horses. He also wrote an autobiography which is still in print in various editions. ( )
