Book Talk with Tracy Borman - The House of Boleyn
After her sellout event in 2025, we are delighted to welcome acclaimed historian and best-selling author Tracy Borman back to Alnwick Castle as part of the tour for her new novel, The House of Boleyn.
In The House of Boleyn, Tracy Borman immerses us in the world of the Boleyns' beautiful Kent home, Hever Castle. It was here that they plotted and schemed, grieved and rejoiced – and where Henry VIII relentlessly pursued Anne Boleyn. Combining drama, danger and passion, Tracy brings the Boleyn family's three-decade rise and precipitous fall to vivid life in a powerful and emotional novel of family, fate and history.
In this richly illustrated talk, Tracy uncovers the real history that inspired her novel and takes the audience behind closed doors to explore the Boleyns as they have never been seen before. In addition, rarely-seen items from the Alnwick Castle archive, relevant to the subject of the book, will be on display.
Tracy Borman OBE is Chief Historian at Historic Royal Palaces. A regular broadcaster and public speaker, Tracy regularly appears on Channel 5's Inside the Tower of London series and stars in several documentaries on Tudor history.
