The Wives of Henry VIII
Categories: Kindle Store, Kindle eBooks, History

The New York Times bestselling history of the legendary six wives of Henry VIII--from the acclaimed author of Marie Antoinette . Under Antonia Fraser&apos;s intent scrutiny, Catherine of Aragon emerges as a scholar-queen who steadfastly refused to grant a divorce to her royal husband; Anne Boleyn is absolved of everything but a sharp tongue and an inability to produce a male heir; and Catherine Parr is revealed as a religious reformer with the good sense to tack with the treacherous winds of the Tudor court. And we gain fresh understanding of Jane Seymour&apos;s circumspect wisdom, the touching dignity of Anna of Cleves, and the youthful naivete that led to Katherine Howard&apos;s fatal indiscretions . The Wives of Henry VIII interweaves passion and power, personality and politics, into a superb work of history.
