Elizabeth Boleyn Revealed: Interview with Sophie Bacchus-Waterman on Anne Boleyn’s Mother

What do we really know about Elizabeth Boleyn, Countess of Wiltshire and mother of Anne Boleyn?

Until now, she’s been little more than a shadow in history — remembered only as the wife of Thomas Boleyn and the mother of Anne, Mary, and George. But in a groundbreaking new biography, historian Sophie Bacchus-Waterman uncovers Elizabeth’s real story: her career at court, her influence, and her role in one of Tudor England’s most ambitious families.

In this exclusive interview, I talk with Sophie about:
- Why Elizabeth has been so overlooked in Tudor history
- The surprising discoveries made during her research
- How Elizabeth shaped the rise of the Boleyns
- Whether she’s been unfairly judged in fiction and history
- And what this biography reveals about Anne Boleyn’s world.

Sophie’s new book: Elizabeth Boleyn: The Life of the Queen’s Mother is the very first biography of this fascinating woman, and it shines a long-overdue light on her life and legacy.
