Aiming to put Henry VIII and the events of his reign into context, this book offers an account of the great game of politics over which the King presided. It provides sketches of Henry's queens and insights into the character of the King himself and into other significant features of the reign of England's "triumphant monarch". The author's other books on the Tudor era include "The Struggle for Power: the Lives and Letters of the Great Tudor Dynasties".
