Everything about Eric Ives totally explained
Eric William Ives,
OBE (born
12 July 1931) is a well-respected
British historian and an expert on the
Tudor period (
1485 -
1603).
Ives is particularly noted for his work on the life of
Anne Boleyn, the second wife and queen of King
Henry VIII of England, whom he began researching about
1979, eventually publishing an acclaimed biography of her in
1986. He has also written extensively on the
History of Law, the development of modern
higher education, the politics of Henry VIII's reign and the lives of various other Tudor courtiers - including the Welsh land-owning magnate
William Brereton, who was unjustly condemned to death in
1536 on the false charge of being Anne Boleyn's lover. Ives's biography of Anne Boleyn was modified and expanded for re-publication in
2004 under the new title of
The Life and Death of Anne Boleyn. His theories on her life have drawn him into fierce debate with the American historian
Retha Warnicke, who wrote
The Rise and Fall of Anne Boleyn in
1989 to challenge Ives's findings.
Ives is currently Emeritus Professor of English History at the
University of Birmingham and in 2000 the University of Birmingham Press published
The First Civic University: Birmingham, 1880-1980 - An Introductory History, which he co-authored with Diane K. Drummond and Leonard Schwarz. In
2001 he was awarded the prestigious
Order of the British Empire by
Queen Elizabeth II in recognition of his services to history.
