Publisher's Summary

Explore the Captivating History of the Six Wives of Henry VIII

Henry VIII, King of England and Ireland in the first half of the 16th century, is one of history’s most famous monarchs for many reasons. He ruled ruthlessly, was quick to cry “treason!” and execute, and equally quick to fall in and out of love. Henry changed the religious fabric of England forever and left his mark on the wider world - but what of the six women he took as his queens?

From the regal and capable Catherine of Aragon to the patient and generous Katherine Parr, Henry’s wives represented a range of personalities, goals, beliefs, and influences on the king. Each of Henry’s six wives represented a facet of the king himself, whether he liked to admit it or not; unfortunately, a Queen of England at the side of Henry VIII could never be sure of her husband’s love - or her safety. These are the stories of three Catherines, two Annes, and one Jane.

I enjoyed this book

As always, Antonia Fraser, has created yet another orderly and organized account with critical detail mixed with just the right amount of drama; making it easy to follow the succession of these dramatic events.

Super Smart

This wonderful easy read gives a good long sketch of each of Henry's wives, with increasingly less detail as time goes on. As with most book on Poor Henry VIII, the women get center stage, ignoring, but not totally, the extraordinary events of the Tudor ruler.

This author is awesome about history

This book provides more than a brief overview to all six of these fascinating women. It really discusses their lives--as related to Henry and to the times-- in much detail, covering many important points while clarifying misconceptions and legend from fact.

very good

This book is a superb introduction not just to Henry VIII's wives, but Henry himself: vicariously we see the man through the women who both intrigued and repulsed him. Highly recommended.

Grab It

This is the historical version without sacrificing drama. It's much better than any of the fictional versions. It contains interpretation of English Reformation, women's status along with Henry's motives, a comparative evaluation of the wives and extensive historical backgrounds of each one.

Very Good audiobook

Very good bok. Places each wife in context and puts a human face on each one. Truly fascinating and very thorough, this book will give you an accurate view of Henry VIII and his six wives.

Revealing Book

I really enjoyed this book, and I was very happy it didn’t skip over Anne of Cleves or Catherines Howard and Parr, who always get such short shrift.
