One of history's most notorious monarchs, Henry VIII ruled his court with fearsome command. Infamous for his six marriages and break from the Catholic Church, Henry collected many enemies during his reign. Illustrated with contemporary portraits throughout, this book provides an insight into the personalitites who made up the mighty Tudor court, including such historically significant figures as Thomas Cranmer, Thomas Cromwell, and Cardinal Wolsey, together with the ill-fated Anne Boleyn and Sir Thomas More.
