The Wives of Henry VIII
2
 
 

The Wives of Henry VIIIThe Wives of Henry VIII

The Wives of Henry VIII is a wonderful account of the lives of the six women who married the controversial Tudor king. Antonia Fraser has written extensively on many subjects, but is particularly interested in British royal history. Her writing is clear and accessible, and almost invariably interesting.

  Fraser says 'the six women have become defined in a popular sense not so much by their lives as by the way these lives ended.' Largely, they became identified as stereotypes. Fraser's stated intent in the book is to examine the real women behind the stereotypes, to find the human strengths and frailties behind the historic labels.

Henry VIII and His Six Wives ( Bookworms Level 2)
193
 
 

Henry VIII and His Six Wives ( Bookworms Level 2)There were six of them - three Katherines, two Annes, and a Jane. One of them was the King's wife for twenty-four years, another for only a year and a half. One died, two were divorced, and two were beheaded. It was a dangerous, uncertain life. After the King's death in 1547, his sixth wife finds a box of old letters - one from each of the first five wives. They are sad, angry, frightened letters. They tell the story of what it was like to be the wife of Henry VIII of England.
