"Crown of Blood is an important and significant retelling of an often-misunderstood tale: set at the time of Jane?s downfall and following her journey through to her trial and execution, each chapter moves between the past and the ?present,? using a rich abundance of primary source material (some of which has never been published) in order to paint a vivid picture of Jane?s short and turbulent life. This dramatic narrative traces the dangerous plots and web of deadly intrigue in which Jane became involuntarily tangled?and which ultimately led to a shocking and catastrophic conclusion" -- from Amazon.
