The Six Wives of Henry VIII

The Six Wives of Henry VIII

The story of Henry VIII and his six wives has passed from history into legend â€“ taught in the cradle as a cautionary tale and remembered in adulthood as an object lesson in the dangers of marrying into royalty. The true story behind the legend, however, remains obscure to most people, whose knowledge of the affair begins and ends with the aide memoire â€˜Divorced, executed, died, divorce, executed, survivedâ€™.

David Loadesâ€™ masterly book recounts the whole sorry tale in detail from Henryâ€™s first marriage, to his brotherâ€™s widow Catherine of Aragon, to more or less contented old age in the care of the motherly Catherine Parr.
