I am sad to report that this morning the family of well known, beloved Anne Boleyn historian Eric Ives confirmed that he passed on yesterday morning following a severe stroke. Ives wrote many books and articles on Anne Boleyn and was an incredible asset to our modern research and understanding on Tudor England. My prayers and thoughts go out to his family during this sad time. Rest in peace Dr. Ives.
How sad! I just finished reading his book The Life and Death of Anne Boleyn. I saw once in a interview that he called Anne the "other woman" in his life. He seemed like a jolly fellow. What a loss.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Professor Ives, for giving us what is arguably the best and most complete work on Anne Boleyn ever written, which will shine on as a lasting testament of you. You are a true inspiration.
