The Six Wives of Henry VIII Hb - Hardcover
This text aims to show that the six wives of Henry VIII were not willing victims of Henry's obsession with a male heir, but instead were women of spirit and defiance. Each woman is dealt with in turn, with sympathy for having had the unenviable fate of being a wife of Henry VIII.

Review:
When we think of the wives of Henry VIII, we tend to think of women who literally lost their heads. But Antonia Fraser opens the door to the political and cultural demands that shaped the destinies of the king and his royal wives. Romance, unfortunately, rarely had anything to do with it. And if you think the modern American media is too tough on political leadership, you oughta READ about the royal court in King Henry's day! That's one family you'd never want to marry into.
From the Inside Flap:
The six-week New York Times bestselling history of the legendary six wives of Henry VIII--from an acclaimed biographer. "Admirably succeed(s) in bringing to life the six women who married England's ruler. . . ."--New York Times Book Review. 16 color plates. 32 pages of illustrations.
