The Six Queens of Henry VIII: A Glimpse into Their Lives
CATHERINE OF ARAGON:
The pious Spanish Catholic who endured years of miscarriages and heartbreak, ultimately failing to produce the much-desired male heir.
ANNE BOLEYN:
The pretty, clever, and French-educated Protestant whose marriage to Henry VIII forever altered the course of English history.
JANE SEYMOUR:
A demure and submissive figure, offering a stark contrast to Anne Boleyn's bold and radical style.
ANNE OF CLEVES:
Known as "the mare of Flanders," her brief marriage to the overweight Henry was the result of a farcical "beauty contest."
CATHERINE HOWARD:
A flirtatious teenager whose reckless adulteries humiliated the ageing king.
CATHERINE PARR:
A shrewd, religiously progressive bluestocking who outlived Henry and left her mark as a politically astute survivor.
In this dazzling study, David Starkey paints a richly textured portrait of daily life at the Tudor Court, offering a unique perspective from the women's point of view.
Above all, Starkey masterfully reveals the intricate interplay between the private and the public, demonstrating how the Queens of Henry VIII were pivotal in shaping political policy.
