Resumen del Editor

Nothing drove Henry VIII, England's wealthiest and most powerful king, more than producing a legitimate male heir and perpetuating his dynasty. To that end he married six wives, became the subject of the most notorious divorce case of the 16th century, and broke with the Pope, all in an age of international competition and warfare, social unrest and growing religious intolerance and discord.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Guy, whose prose is commendably readable, has a real gift for bringing Tudor history to life for 21st-century readers." ( Independent)

Yes!!!

Excellent story and narration. Finally! An audiobook that covers the facts which are widely omitted from from every account that I’ve read about Henry and the connections between his heirs after his death. So much makes sense now that I can finally enjoy the fictional accounts in other books and movies. Thank you!

I enjoyed this title

I found that I enjoyed this book. The book was not overly dry and I loved the voice of the Narrator. I learned a few things I did not know. For examaple, did not know Lady Bryan was a governess to Henry Fitzroy.

Short version of same old story

I kept wondering during this what was the point of putting out something so very short with very little new in it. It also has the same name as Weir's book, which is an epic. That does not make it better, but this one does not distinguish itself.
