Description
Catherine of Aragon suffered years of miscarriages and failed to produce a male heir, while Anne Boleyn's marriage to Henry changed England forever. Her replacement, Jane Seymour, was a contrast to Anne Boleyn's radical style, and her own marriage ended in tragedy. The story of Henry's six wives is one of politics, power, and the complex relationships between men and women in the Tudor Court. In this book, David Starkey explores the lives of these women, revealing the daily life at the Tudor Court from their perspective.
