Description
Henry Virtuous Prince by David Starkey A radical re-evaluation of England's most enduring icon, this biography offers a fresh perspective on the life and reign of Henry VIII. Born to rule after his brother's sudden death, Henry ascended the throne at just seventeen, marking the beginning of a reign that would alter the course of English history. Henry's early life was marked by insecurity, as the Tudor regime faced opposition from those who saw it as usurpers' rule. Yet, despite these challenges, he provided England with hope of a new beginning upon his accession to the throne. His reign was characterized by both dramatic and defining moments, including fierce battles against Papal authority. This biography offers an unforgettable portrait of the man behind the icon - the Renaissance prince turned tyrant who continues to tower over history.
