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.

Great Tudor overview

Excellent read; lots of nuggets missed in documentaries I’ve seen; and good to be able to contrast and compare.

Great Compliment

The story was presented chronologically, with a few, well integrated digressions to give us the history of each of Henry's wives. Chapters were short and the introduction of new characters was kept to a minimum, creating a very lucid narrative. New characters were always given context, both in the writing and by some great family trees, and we were often reminded who recurring characters were.

gives a much better understanding of the Tudors

A must read if you are a history inthusiest. explains in great and clear detail of what may have contributed to this time period

Very informative

It was a good overview of all of the wives, and backstop on the kids.

An interesting read

I saw the musical Six and I was intrigued to learn more about the wives. A very interesting book, highly enjoyed learning more about each wife.
