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.
Such an informative and interesting read. It was a very complete history of the time, and included facts behind the Queens’ and the King’s relatives and associates.
