The Six Wives of Henry VIII. This item is unavailable.The Six Wives of Henry VIII

The story of Henry VIII and his six wives has passed from history into legend taught in the cradle as a cautionary tale and remembered in adulthood as an object lesson in the dangers of marrying into royalty. The true story behind the legend, however, remains obscure to most people, whose knowledge of the affair begins and ends with the aide memoire Divorced, executed, died, divorced, executed, survived. David Loades masterly book recounts Henrys whole sorry tale in detail from his first marriage, to his brothers widow Catherine of Aragon, to his more or less contented old age in the care of the motherly Catherine Parr. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
