In this composite biography, Alison Weir brings Henry's six wives to life, revealing each as a distinct personality in her own right. Drawing upon the documentary material from the Tudor period, this book shows the reader where personal needs frequently influenced public events and where a life of ritualized pleasure was shot through with ambition, treason and violence.
