King Henry the VIII is one of the most curious figures in the history of the English court. The man single handedly shook up the known world, enacting a forced split with the Catholic Church, printing a Bible in English that was readable by those who had the ability, and for his succession of wives. Six of them who met tragic ends.
Many of us know the rhyme about King Henry VIII's wives:
Divorced, Beheaded, Died
Divorced, Beheaded, Survived.
Do we know that much about the women behind the rhyme?
In Fatal Throne, each of the wives speaks about her life with Henry - how she became his wife, the highlights of her life with Henry, and how her life with Henry ended.
Even Henry is given a voice, speaking about his life with each wife, and the misunderstandings that have led them to their current impasse.
If you are curious about the many wives of Henry VIII, and the many ways in which Henry forever changed the world, this book is a great place to start!
