Download Henry VIII: King and Court AudioBook Free
This impressive biography of Henry VIII is defined against the social, social and political qualifications of his court - the most impressive court ever seen in Britain - and the splendour of his many sumptuous palaces. An amusing narrative filled with colourful description and a wealth of anecdotal data but also a thorough analytical review of the introduction of both monarch and court during a vital period in British history. As well as challenging some recent ideas, it offers controversial new conclusions predicated on contemporary data that has as yet been overlooked. That is a triumph of historical writing that will appeal similarly to the general listener and the serious historian.
