Few British families have had the grasping ambition of the Boleyns. Not only did they rise from merchants to members of the extended Royal Family in just three generations, they also changed the course of British history forever.

But as a new three-part documentary shows, at the heart of it is Thomas Boleyn, Anne s father, whose ambition led to the destruction of almost his entire family. There s a thin line between great ambition and lunacy, says Gareth Russell, a historian who appears on the series The Boleyns: A Scandalous Family.
