The Six Wives of Henry VIII

A “brilliantly written and meticulously researched” biography of royal family life during England’s second Tudor monarch ( San Francisco Chronicle ). Either annulled, executed, died in childbirth, or widowed, these were the well-known fates of the six queens during the tempestuous, bloody, and splendid reign of Henry VIII of England from 1509 to 1547. But in this “exquisite treatment, sure to become a classic” ( Booklist ), they take on more fully realized flesh and blood than ever before. Kathe
