Six Wives by David Starkey
What makes a man marry six times? Was Henry VIII a voracious philanderer? On the contrary, says Dr David Starkey, the King was seeking happiness -- as well as hoping for a son.
Praise for Elizabeth 'The best account in English of the early years of Elizabeth! must be one of the most zestful pieces of history written in the last few years! The result is a racy read and first rate history' Evening Standard 'Both thrills and convinces! Indeed this is very much Elizabeth for our times' Independent 'Fresh and lively! vividly told! He sets before us not only the woman behind the throne but the girl behind the woman' Sunday Times
