The Six Wives of Henry VIII

By Gladys Malvern

Gladys Malvern uses her celebrated talent for prose to share the stories of Henry VIII’s wives with immense personality and captivating drama.
 
Henry VIII was married to six women during his reign as the King of England. Gladys Malvern characterizes them as The Saint (Catherine of Aragon); The Egotist (Anne Boleyn); The Diplomat (Jane Seymour); The Housewife (Anne of Cleves); The Coquette (Catherine Howard); and The Mother (Catherine Parr). Malvern masterfully tells each of their personal histories and how they intertwined through rivalry, vying for power, political maneuvering, and the hardships of losing favor with the man that seceded the Church of England from Rome for a divorce.

Reviews for The Six Wives of Henry VIII

[the4otts · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This was a great introduction to the Reformation period of history. Recommended by Carole Joy Seid. Well written and enjoyed by my teen boys (I used something to disguise the cover as the faces of the wives is on the cover - not appealing to young men) - they enjoyed reading about Henry VIII. When you hear "keep reading", you know it's a keeper. Will try to find other resources by Malvern.

Worst history book I have ever read. Full of blatant errors and no writing style at all
