HENRY VIII AND THE MEN WHO MADE HIM

Henry VIII is famous for and often defined by his six marriages. But when we see Henry through the men in his life, a new perspective emerges. Often trusting and easily led by his male attendants and advisers during the early years of his reign, he matured into a profoundly suspicious and paranoid king whose favour could be suddenly withdrawn, and whose cruelty and ruthlessness became ever more apparent. Tracy Borman reveals Henry's personality in all its multi-faceted, contradictory glory.
