At the court of Henry VIII a historian charged with proving the king's descent from King Arthur is found murdered, his body posed in a gruesome tableau. A reluctant Anthony Blanke is charged with investigating the crime, and his mission takes him through ancient monastic libraries and the back streets of London.

Anna of Denmark has been castigated as frivolous, vain, stupid, and more interested in pleasure than politics. This study aims to contextualise her not as a woman of minor significance in relation to the queens regnant of the sixteenth century, but as an inheritor of the bloody legacies of previous consorts north and south of the border.
