I just finished reading The Other Boleyn Girl by Phillipa Gregory. This book is about two sisters Mary and Anne, who are in the kings court (Henry VIII) They become his mistresses only to give him a son and to get to the throne so they can become the wealthiest family in all of England. Mary gives him a son but Anne steals his affections... He marries Anne and she becomes queen, but she thinks the King can not give her a boy after three stillborns and two miscarriages. So she sleeps with her brother and a "monster child" is born, meaning a deformed child, she is later tried for treason and beheaded on the account of adultrey
