Henry VIII and his Six Wives

The Six Wives of Henry VIII by Alison Weir

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


While waiting for Weir's Elizabeth 1 I will read this one. That Henry VIII wasn't as bad as I thought he was, that he was under a great deal of pressure from the privy council, parliament, the religious clergy and royalty on the continent to produce an heir. The manipulation of the court to bring about the destruction or displacement of his wives was an eye-opener. I liked it, for I enjoy a book that can teach me something that I didn't know
