Double CD set with over 90 minutes of music. Anne Boleyn was brought up for a time under the guardianship of Margaret of Austria, patron to some of the most famous composers in all Europe. She was in the French court until she returned to England in 1522. She developed her keen tastes in music during those years in France, when a collection of her favorite works began to be assembled into what is now known as The Anne Boleyn Songbook (Royal College of Music, MS 1070). She probably possessed the book until her execution in 1536.
