Madox The Fifth Queen: And How She Came to Court Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fifth_Queen Produced by Sankar Viswanathan, Suzanne Shell, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The Fifth Queen: And How She Came to Court" by Ford Madox Ford is a historical novel likely written in the early 20th century. The book explores the life and times of the controversial figure Anne of Cleves, the fourth wife of King Henry VIII, and her arrival at the English court, delving into the political machinations and personal intrigues of the Tudor era. The story introduces characters such as Magister Nicholas Udal, a pedagogue for Lady Mary, and the Lord Privy Seal, Thomas Cromwell, sketching a vivid backdrop of the complexities of court life during this tumultuous period. The opening of the novel sets the scene in a chilly lane in Austin Friars, where Magister Udal is introduced as a starving, cold scholar waiting for a chance to meet the Lord Privy Seal and deliver fabricated information about the Lady Mary to gain favor. The narrative shifts from Udal's struggles to the home of John Badge, a printer with his own grievances against Cromwell. Their conversations weave through discontent with the old and new faiths, highlighting the tensions of the time. Amidst these struggles, young characters, including the printmaker and his grandson, add layers to the unfolding drama, setting the stage for the arrival of Anne of Cleves and the consequential events that will follow in the court. This establishes a rich tapestry filled with ambition, rivalry, and the personal aspirations of various players within the court, hinting at larger themes of power and identity that the novel will explore.
