The Six Wives of Henry VIII by Alison Weir
It is – and it was then – a remarkable fact in itself that a man should have six wives, yet what makes it especially fascinating to us was that these wives were interesting people in their own right.”
Alison Weir‘s remarkable biography of Henry VIII is a very readable history of this formidable monarch’s reign. Married six times, Henry chose women who were interesting in their own right. Weir brings each of Henry’s wives – Katherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anne of Cleeves, Katherine Howard and Katherine Parr – lovingly to life and sets them against the rich tapestry of court life in, and the political machinations of, 16th-century England.
