Henry VIII, King of England and Ireland in the first half of the 16th century, is one of history’s most famous monarchs for many reasons. He ruled ruthlessly, was quick to cry “treason!” and execute, and equally quick to fall in and out of love. Henry changed the religious fabric of England forever and left his mark on the wider world – but what of the six women he took as his queens?
From the regal and capable Catherine of Aragon to the patient and generous Katherine Parr, Henry’s wives represented a range of personalities, goals, beliefs, and influences on the king. Each of Henry’s six wives represented a facet of the king himself, whether he liked to admit it or not; unfortunately, a Queen of England at the side of Henry VIII could never be sure of her husband’s love – or her safety. These are the stories of three Catherines, two Annes and one Jane.
This captivating history book covers topics such as:
Henry Tudor Catherine of Aragon Mistress Elizabeth Blount Mistress Mary Boleyn Anne Boleyn Anne of Cleves Mistress Mary Shelton The Wooing of Jane Seymour Catherine Howard The Culpeper Affair Katherine Parr More Theories on Henry Tudor’s Fertility The Illegitimate Children of Henry VIII And much more!

Before reading this book, everything I knew about Henry VIII was from the movie "The Other Boleyn Girl". This was a fascinating insight into all of Henry's wives and mistresses, as well as the odd things Henry himself did, and choices he made.

Kindle Unlimited, this one goes decent enough, if you wanted a pair to read back to back or of same kind, with the Marie Antoinette one btw, that's really why I keep a running list, it's helpful for other people to see the full list {minus some of the collections so don't repeat/make longer} but so I can keep up with sections/areas/time periods etcetera, gets confusing, have read every single one of them

plent of sets/combo books, the list was getting WAY too long so trying to shorten it a bit -
This was a great, easy read that was a pretty good comprehensive look at the wives and mistresses of Henry VIII.
-
The six wives of Henry VIII in just over 100 pages! I was a bit sceptical to begin with that this would be able to do justice at about 17 pages per wife. We've seen all of the series, the films and worked through the story at school - would there be much more to garner from such a short piece of work covering six people? Surprisingly, the answer was yes. I thought that I was fairly knowledgeable about this part of history above many other areas, however I soon realised that I had more to learn.
This book gathers fact upon fact about a short period of time in history that still seems to fascinate people of all ages today. The sections are all easy to follow, but the names of prominent people soon mount up and are easy to forget when they have no character to go with them. Still, this is a factual book and not an historical novel.
I enjoyed reading it and will re-read it a few more times yet. My favourite part was right at the end where there was a section highlighting the recognised and non-recognised offspring belonging to Henry. No stone appears to have been left unturned. -
This was a short but informative read on a topic I've recently become interested in: the Tudor reign and legacy. Memorialized in the tony-award winning musical, Six, the wives of Henry VII are described concisely and with information that keeps you captivated-with chapters short enough to be read in a few minutes, but with enough information to have you spending hours on Google looking up additional information. this book gives a concise and informative look into Henry and his six famous wives-as well as some of his more famous mistresses. This book lead me to more information as I researched other events and figures who were mentioned-an internet rabbit hole, if you will. A great short read for the history lover.
-
I enjoyed this book, although I am very familiar with the stories of Henry VIII's wives. I found it very interesting. However, someone needs to go through and edit this book. The grammatical errors were atrocious. Additionally, someone needs to check their history. Many many dates were wrong. Wrong as the dates listed for some events were after the person had already died. Really needs to be checked.
-
Good but not great!
A fairly quick account of the six wives of Henry VIII
Short and to the point and no new insights If you want a basic account of Henry then this is the book for you! -
This was well written, and gave a lot of information that anyone in who enjoys Tudor history would find interesting. This book handled controversial topics well, casting all six women in a positive light. This book balanced bias and facts well. Great ready for anyone interested in the Tudor period.
-
Thus is a great quick history of King Henry VIII and his wives. I was a bit skeptical at first but this book is well written. Thoroughly enjoyed!
-
An interesting look into the lives of each of the six queens and some of Henry VII's mistresses.
-
Very good summary for just few pages.
-
Very good and informative I love reading about the Tudor Dynasty
-
Although I did not learn very much new there were surprises and this book kept me interested from the beginning to the end. If you are newly interested in Henry's wives this is a great starting point
-
Nothing earth shattering or newly uncovered. Pretty basic history of the wives. Did include some about the mistresses and illegitimate children which was new.
-
A great, short book about the wives and mistresses of King Henry VIII. My review is coming from the perspective of a huge Six Wives fan, and I definitely found a lot to love in this short book. In this work you will find a somewhat brief history of each wife, as well as many mistresses and Henry’s children. The inclusion of those last two areas pleasantly surprised me.
This book can be enjoyed by both a Tudor novice or an obsessed history fan, or any one in between. Yes you will definitely find more information and description in other, longer works, but someone who loves the subject will certainly enjoy this one! -
Captivating is that!
There are a few spots in which you feel like it jumped from one place to another, but began to flow again. Excellent read to add to your collection of you love to learn about Henry VIII and his famous wives. Enjoyed the style of the writing from this author!
