Henry VIII by Richard Rex

An accessible biography of Henry VIII by one of the country's leading Tudor experts. The future Henry VIII was born on 29 June 1491, the second son of Henry VII and Elizabeth of York. This talented, athletic and temperamental man might have proved something of a handful to his elder brother, Prince Arthur, the firstborn, had he survived to wear the crown. But Henry's life was changed forever when Arthur died in 1502 and the course of English history took a very unexpected turn.
Richard Rex is Director of Studies in History at Queens' College, Cambridge. He has written and researched extensively on Tudor England. Praise for Richard Rex's The Tudors: “Up-to-date, readable and reliable. The best introduction to England's most important dynasty” DAVID STARKEY. He lives in Cambridge with his wife and six sons.
