Windsor Castle by William Harrison Ainsworth
"Windsor Castle" by William Harrison Ainsworth is a historical romance novel serialized in 1842. Set during Henry VIII's turbulent pursuit of Anne Boleyn, the story weaves together court intrigue, forbidden love, and supernatural horror. As the king seeks to replace Catherine of Aragon, opposing forces emerge—including a rival suitor and a scheming cardinal.

atmosphere of Gothic dread amid the dangerous politics of the Tudor court. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
