The Six Wives of Henry VIII

#2 - The Six Wives of Henry VIII by Alison Weir

I find anything Tudor related absolutely fascinating, so when I discovered this book, I knew I had to buy it.  Henry VIII is probably best known for having six marriages, two of which ended in the queen being beheaded.

Alison Weir has done an exhaustive amount of research on the Tudors and this book is an extremely detailed and engaging account of Henry VIII's wives.  She takes us through the lives of these women before, during and, in the cases of Anne of Cleves and Katherine Parr, after their marriages to Henry VIII.
