Henry VIII and His Six Wives: The Autobiography of Henry VIII with Commentary by His Jester Will Somers
14.99 €
Much has been written about the powerful and selfish Henry VIII: he quarreled with the Pope and created his own church, married six women and sent two wives to the scaffold, executed his friend, looted monasteries, dreamed of a son while neglecting his daughters, indulged his gluttony, and finally went to his grave, overcome by a serious illness. In her magnificent and monumental novel, however, Margaret George presents us with the story of Henry VIII as he himself might have told it in his memoirs, complete with sassy commentary by his jester and confidant Will Somers. With a brilliant blend of historical fact and fiction, and a keen understanding of the benefits and dangers of power, the author shows us the famous monarch in all his human expressions - formidable and pathetic, loving and cruel, generous and unjust.
