The Six Wives of Henry VIII by Alison Weir
In this composite biography, Alison Weir brings Henry's six wives to life, revealing each as a distinct personality in her own right. Drawing upon the documentary material from the Tudor period, this book shows the reader where personal needs frequently influenced public events and where a life of ritualized pleasure was shot through with ambition, treason and violence.
Deborah Weir (Greenwich, CT) is president of Greenwich Consulting, a firm that provides money management and asset allocation services to institutional investors and wealthy individuals.
