Description

The tempestuous, bloody, and splendid reign of Henry VIII of England (1509-1547) is among the such a lot fascinating in all history, now not least for his marriage to 6 strange women. On this accessible work of brilliant scholarship, Alison Weir draws on early biographies, letters, memoirs, account books, and diplomatic reports to bring these women to life. Catherine of Aragon emerges as a staunch although misguided woman of principle; Anne Boleyn, an ambitious adventuress with a penchant for vengeance; Jane Seymour, a strong-minded matriarch within the making; Anne of Cleves, a excellent-natured and innocent woman naively unaware of the court intrigues that decided her fate; Catherine Howard, an empty-headed wanton; and Catherine Parr, a warm-blooded bluestocking who survived King Henry to marry a fourth time.
