The stereotype of Henry VIII presents us with the image of a corpulent, covetous, and cunning king whose appetite for worldly goods met few parallels, whose wives met infamously premature ends, and whose religion was ever political in intent. Moving beyond this caricature, 1536 - focusing on a pivotal year in the life of the King - reveals a fuller portrait of this complex monarch, detailing the finer shades of humanity that have so long been overlooked. We discover that in 1536 Henry met many failures - physical, personal, and political - and emerged from them a different man: a revolutionary new king who proceeded to transform a nation and reform a religion. A compelling story, 1536 shows what a profound difference can be made by changing the heart of a king.

Review:
`A bold and original attempt to unravel one of the great mysteries of English history: how, when and why Henry VIII changes from a handsome Prince Charming into a fat and loathsome Bluebeard.' --David Starkey, author of Henry: Virtuous Prince and Six Wives: The Queens of Henry VIII

'Suzannah Lipscomb has achieved the near-impossible: she's found an intriguing new way of imagining the king we thought we all knew about.' --Lucy Worsley, Chief Curator, Historic Royal Palaces, and author of Cavalier: A Tale of Chivalry, Passion and Great Houses

'The paradox of Henry VIII is brilliantly unravelled by Suzannah Lipscomb as she reveals the multiple nightmares of the King's annus horribilis.' --Peter Furtado, former Editor of History Today

`At once both scholarly and a joy to read' --Thomas Betteridge, Reader in Early Modern English Literature, Oxford Brookes University

'An engaging and splendidly readable account of a pivotal year in Henry's fascinating, terrible, reign.' --Greg Walker, Masson Professor of English Literature, University of Edinburgh
